Paula Abdul took to the airwaves on Detroit’s WKQI’s Mojo in the Morning radio show today to refute the claims made in Ladies Home Journal that she was at one time addicted to painkillers and that she had gone to rehab for the addiction.

On the show Paula said,

“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.”

Paula went on to say, about the supposed rehab stint, that she had simply checked in a spa,

“It’s a spa. 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 messages and maybe a manicure and pedicure.”

When asked if she was going to sue the magazine, Paula said that it was something her ‘handlers’ would deal with and that she would issue a formal statement to the press shortly.

Ladies Home Journal, for it’s part says, “We stand by our reporting and are happy that Paula decided to share our journey with us.”

So there you have it.
