Shortly after admitting that a decade-long addiction to painkillers nearly killed her,
"It was very stressful for me to hear that and to be quoted saying something I never said," Abdul told the "Mojo in the Morning" show. "I've never checked into a rehab clinic. I've never been addicted or abused drugs, and I've never been addicted or abused alcohol. I've never even been drunk in my life." Abdul, who debuted her new single, "I'm Just Here for the Music," on Wednesday night's "Idol" elimination show, now claims that the magazine's report that she checked into La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California, to finally shake her dependence on pain medication was a misunderstanding. In the Ladies' Home Journal interview, Abdul said the addiction caused some of her unusual past behavior. "I could have killed myself. ... Withdrawal — it's the worst thing. ... I was freezing cold, then sweating hot, then chattering and in so much pain, it was excruciating. But at my very core, I did not like existing the way I had been." Abdul told Mojo that she was simply relaxing at La Costa, not being treated for addiction. "It's a spa," she said. "I was there for almost three days having fun doing spa stuff. It's not a clinic. It's not a detox place. It's a luxurious spa. It's like taking a mini vacation. I just wanted to chill out and get massages and maybe a manicure and pedicure." According to E! Online, Abdul said in a statement released on Thursday that she's never been addicted to drugs or entered rehab, adding that she spent three days at La Costa, not 30, as reported in the magazine. A representative for the magazine told E!, "We stand by our reporting and are happy that Paula decided to share her journey with us." This report is provided by MTV News
