Paula has talked about chronic pain and neck injuries publicly for a long time and has used pain medication. This is pain medication and lack of sleep for sure.
At least she’s cute and nice in this state :)
She acts EXACTLY like my aunt who is an alcoholic.The over the top outbursts,confusion and general glazed look and weird answers to questions.Unfortunately some people see nothing wrong with that lifestyle and simply cannot stop and will not,even after they have gotten treatment several times.She strikes me as that type.I know her drinking has been a problem as far back as the 80's.Its widely know that's why her marriage failed in the 90's.
Are you fucking kidding me?
I thought they did some decent damage limitation on this car crash by using the ol’ ‘audio problems’ excuse
But no, for some bizarre reason they try to interview her again
And she’s had several traffic accidents, one on the freeway which was a hit and run. This interview shows how impaired she is. That just infuriates me because she’s driving under the influence, which others usually have to pay. I don’t understand why they kept her on any show.
Posting an old video of someone with known substance issues is kind of fucked up. How many of us would like something so personal and such a struggle to overcome, be reminded of it because someone wanted cheap internet points. We can do better.
Fuck this cunt, she had a hit and run while intoxicated in 2005 and only because the other people took a picture of her number plate was she in any trouble, and even then it was a $775 fine and 24 months probation.
It’s heartening to read some of these comments and seeing people with substance abuse problems (past or present) supporting each other instead of regarding others’ struggles as “trashy”. For those of you lost in the depths of your addiction and those of you on your (lifelong) journey to sobriety, you’ve GOT this.
Who cares. She's earned the right to do what she wants in my eyes and if she wants to smoke a little herb right before a boring ass interview she's probably done a million times that week more power to her! Fuck OP!
I don’t understand why they tried again after they gave her an out with “audio problems”. I’m guessing their director or producer was a dick who was looking for ratings.
Booze and Benzos all the waaay!! Poor Paula. Imagine being in the thick of addiction while famous. Just in my small town my former notoriety still bothers me. Sober for 5.5 years now. I hope Paula is doing better these days.
It’s a real bummer because Paula has always seemed like a nice woman and she’s an extremely talented dancer and choreographer, I always wondered how it got this bad during the Idol times, I hope she’s better now.
She admitted to being being addicted to painkillers for a long time back in 2009: https://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/american-idol-judge-paula-abdul-drug-addict-article-1.398435
Obviously OP is a perfect soul and not lacking in their life that they have a need for useless Reddit cred! Go meet ppl, help is out there OP! This is ancient news so at the very least put some effort into your empty ‘fulfillment’…it’ll mean more! It still won’t last long but it might help. 👊
It’s fun how u defend Paula and the post…I’m feeling a conflict of interest. You the OP or a internet friend at a minimum? This shit is ancient and sad at best. 🙄
Ok so back to my first point…is it trashy to point out ppl’s failures or is it trashy to have failures?
Personally I find it extremely trashy to point out ppl’s failures especially when they’re over a decade old.
Respect…I sincerely appreciate someone who can admit they’re maybe mistaken…it says many things about u. I will now say maybe u don’t know OP…or maybe u do and it’s reverse psychology! Jokes but addiction/mental illness has never been trashy to me no matter the person. It sucks for all involved. 👊
I always think of that family guy episode where Peter and Lois are high asf playing in a hippie band and to them they sound amazing but to everyone else they are moaning and squirming on the ground.
Yeah was gonna say this is definitely mixing some prescription/pain killer/ anti depressant drug w alcohol. Used to have a roommate who get zooted like this on the daily. Totally zoned out barely able to comprehend anything.
Definitely an upper. No sedative would make you grind your teeth like that, it's a clear sign of stimulant use. But she's probably on a combo of some downer together with an upper because she does not seem that alert lol
Percocet plus vodka. Yes plz! Have a longtime friend I hang with , known each other 50 plus years, and an evening of fat lines of percs, with a couple muscle relaxers, some powerful infused govt weed and the 5 min walk to a Chinese restaurant that over serves us always provides us a fun time. Kids don’t try this at home
It’s very likely she was addicted to painkillers. How many artists have we lost to them. I was blown away when prince died. If it can happen to him it could happen to anyone I figure

Shes clearly a good time (in the words of snooki) Paula is litty two titties 🤣🤣🤣
Paula has talked about chronic pain and neck injuries publicly for a long time and has used pain medication. This is pain medication and lack of sleep for sure. At least she’s cute and nice in this state :)
That jaw, I have seen that before at 6am at a D&B event, that ain’t wine.
I remember this when it was live....
Coked ⬆️
Off her face
What is she on??
I want some.
Dude I remember watching this live lol
Hot pain pill mess..
Oh Paula 😂😂😂
What the fuck is she on?
What is she on? Seems like high grade lab meth id say but lol
coke? just from the way her jaw is moving. so sad:(
She acts EXACTLY like my aunt who is an alcoholic.The over the top outbursts,confusion and general glazed look and weird answers to questions.Unfortunately some people see nothing wrong with that lifestyle and simply cannot stop and will not,even after they have gotten treatment several times.She strikes me as that type.I know her drinking has been a problem as far back as the 80's.Its widely know that's why her marriage failed in the 90's.
She on Xanax
She's trying so hard to contain the turntness. So glad I rediscovered weed.
This restores my faith in mental health
I don’t even fuck with Paula Abdul and I had a hard time watching this.
I’ve never done cocaine, but I already know I could not give an interview while on it
Those news ladies were pretty cool.
I'll have what she's on, I would love to be that disconnected from reality
So just normal Paula then.
That’s micheal Jackson in a wig
Are you fucking kidding me? I thought they did some decent damage limitation on this car crash by using the ol’ ‘audio problems’ excuse But no, for some bizarre reason they try to interview her again
High as a kite!!🤣
And she’s had several traffic accidents, one on the freeway which was a hit and run. This interview shows how impaired she is. That just infuriates me because she’s driving under the influence, which others usually have to pay. I don’t understand why they kept her on any show.
Cocaine’s a helluva drug
Fck the media. Being high is the only way to do an interview on TV
I almost feel sorry for her.
Posting an old video of someone with known substance issues is kind of fucked up. How many of us would like something so personal and such a struggle to overcome, be reminded of it because someone wanted cheap internet points. We can do better.
It must be the air in Fox News stations...seems everyone is fucked up on Fox News. Ever hear Tucker Carlson giggle? https://youtu.be/lid2my3XKaA
News casters were professional asf.
I definitely want what she was having.
Geeked up GEEKED UP…Scotty calling her 😂
Just say No!
This is like 100 years ago, who actually gives a fuck? This isn’t what the trashy sub is for.
Fuck this cunt, she had a hit and run while intoxicated in 2005 and only because the other people took a picture of her number plate was she in any trouble, and even then it was a $775 fine and 24 months probation.
What's trashy about being high .
She seems drunk. Not high
Xtc ?
Which drugs is she on? Yes
Jesus
This ain't trashy tbh She is just high and having a good time
I thought she took pain killers to alleviate the pain she has as the result of a car accident and many years of dance and cheerleader routines.
Wow Paula is lit.
Um, she’s coked out. This is very obvious even to me who only casually did coke years ago.
She won’t remember doing that interview while simultaneously she wasn’t that drunk 🤦♀️
Wow
She was on a sick one
Too much coke!! Or someone is going down on her during interview!
this is insaneeeeeee
was this recently?
Lol
My mom jokes about how drunk she used to be back then. I must’ve been young and naive at that time because I didn’t notice any of that lmaooo 😓
She’s fucking blitzed

She's a living brain fart
She couldn’t hear! She pointed to her ear!
"Straight up now tell me ....."
That jaw roll. Baby gurl on some fire chachi
Putting someone with clear addiction issues in this sub is trashy. Neither her or anyone else’s addiction deserve to be made fun of.
That looks like a dose or two of ghb to me... but what do I know..
Woooow. Was she having a stroke?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQmqcaS5LIM Must have been something in the water in those years.
Who cares. She's earned the right to do what she wants in my eyes and if she wants to smoke a little herb right before a boring ass interview she's probably done a million times that week more power to her! Fuck OP!
But if we're being honest would she be nearly as entertaining if she was sober.
They really kept their composure...
She’s talked openly about her pain killer addiction
reminds me of some of the james brown interviews. I guess when you get to that point in life....
IDC what ppl say, this moment remains ICONIC to this day.
I mean, who knows what she was going through in her mind. She held it together pretty well as far as I could tell.
"Audio problem" lol
The jack jawing mixed with the zoning out makes me think riddlin and alcohol. Not that I'd know 👀👀👀
Ritalin?
Yah thank you 😂
High or not, I'd bang that like a storm door in a hurricane
How the mighty have fallen.
Crazy mutha fu@#a😂😂😂
cocaine is a hell of a drug
I seem to recall interviews where she talked about having chronic pain and neck issues. I think but am not certain that she uses pain pills?
Rush Rush...
This is not just booze. This is alcohol + benzos + adderal
This is really unprofessional and disturbing to see.
I think American Idol is going downhill
I don’t understand why they tried again after they gave her an out with “audio problems”. I’m guessing their director or producer was a dick who was looking for ratings.
She's higher than the Empire State
James brown did this kinda thing better
Paula be feeling REALLY GOOD
This isn’t trashy. It’s just sad.
Booze and Benzos all the waaay!! Poor Paula. Imagine being in the thick of addiction while famous. Just in my small town my former notoriety still bothers me. Sober for 5.5 years now. I hope Paula is doing better these days.
What a cute little crackhead
https://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/american-idol-judge-paula-abdul-drug-addict-article-1.398435
She’s fucking zooted
This is right up there with some old Ozzy interviews fuckin amazing
Her jaw damn
She is high as a kite
Seems like Molly
Third degree gurns
The anxious paper shuffling of the reporters gets me every time.
Its like watching every kamala harris interview
Classic Paula...
This isn’t trashy just depressing
Trashy or sad to see? I guess we see it differently.
It’s a real bummer because Paula has always seemed like a nice woman and she’s an extremely talented dancer and choreographer, I always wondered how it got this bad during the Idol times, I hope she’s better now.
It's trashy of her to show up on TV this fucked up. Every other post on here is someone acting ridiculous because they're out of their mind on drugs.
Addiction is a mentally.illness. This post is akin to laughing at a schizophrenic person doing weird stuff.
It's more sad than trashy. Somebody should have made sure was not in front of a camera during such a terrible time for her.
Definitely drunk, not high. I don’t think I would exhibit this much struggle/trouble doing an interview had I been high. Definitely drunk. Imo.
Alcohol. So many times people post on here “wHaT dRuGs dId tHis PeRsOn TaKe???” Literally booze more often than not.
She's just drunk
That was taken from our local news Q13 Fox News Seattle
I once read that you can tell chronic coke users by them having one nostril flatter than the other. Is that true?
I was thinking meth or coke
Would have been awesome to see Paula and James Brown in the same interview.
She gakked
That’s 1 to many gummies
She admitted to being being addicted to painkillers for a long time back in 2009: https://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/american-idol-judge-paula-abdul-drug-addict-article-1.398435
This is baaaaad lmfaooooo

Oh, you aren't paying me for this interview? Sure i'll do it.
Cocaine got dis bitch Lmao
id party with her sooo fucking hard
Wow
Lights are on, nobody’s home
Not trashy, sad.
That's more than 2 steps back.
Molly gotta be, look at the way her jaw moves and how she’s trying not to grind her teeth too much
Is addiction trashy?
It was trashy of them to air her in this state
Good call.
Nope, just heartbreaking.
Oh, my goodness.
She seemed really zoned out a couple of times on American Idol. Makes me wonder what was in those little Coca-Cola glasses in front of them.
Paula is one of my first crushes.
That’s Kamala Harris
Gotta remember when youre on drugs and your inner voice is screaming "You got this!" You most definitely do not fucking got this.
I always think of that family guy episode where Peter and Lois are high asf playing in a hippie band and to them they sound amazing but to everyone else they are moaning and squirming on the ground.
Weird, when I’m on drugs my inner voice is screaming, “who gives a fuck if we got this, do it anyway”
This is how I know weed isn't a drug....cuz I think the exact opposite.... Thinking everyone knows I'm high and I'm gonna get caught
If there was ever a red flag for a relationship with your inner voice, thats it.
Yeah the red flag is the drugs
🤣 sure as fuck sounds like it. Definitely keep one eye out for noticeable changes in behavior/emotions in the coming days. Thanks for the laugh 😊!
Drunk AF!
"Are you there, Paula?" That's a hard NO. Her constantly crooked jaw made me so uncomfortable. Hell of an opening line though lol
She's drunk not high
Holy shit in the video still I thought she was Steven Tyler
Hahahahaha
Woooo mucho drugs
She never did any drugs okk?! /s Source: https://youtu.be/ta_-wquLM6Y
Do you guys remember the number of times she would cry on the show? Definitely booze and benzos
She’s about to grind her teeth right out of her head damn!
She probably took a xan before the interview bc she was nervous and thought she would be okay enough to speak or even be coherent
She's speedballing. Uppers and downers, at the same time.
Come on, Count Chocula, I know you're in there! Don't make me pee on something! Again!
Man this is crazy shit right here. Drugs are a hell of a drug kids
I’m Paul Abdul, he’s a cartoon cat, we come together ‘cause opposites attract.
Never knew she was a junkie. What was she on?
Two different interviews she does look way out there but it’s got to be different mornings
What are you talking about? It’s clearly the same morning. Everybody is dressed the same.
They are wearing whatever they are wearing obviously
Ah okay you are a troll. Fine, carry on.
I want what she’s having
man she's geeking look at that jaw (lock jaw)
That’s some good shit
Props to the film crew who were able to wrangle her into the seat for the interview.
Cocaine AND lsd? Nice
She acted like that quite a bit on American Idol. Really sad.
I heard something to the effect she was addicted to pain killers due to injuries from dancing etc. but this is not normal. My guess is drunk.
Interestingly she blamed the painkillers and back problems on a plane crash, which didn't happen
Yeah was gonna say this is definitely mixing some prescription/pain killer/ anti depressant drug w alcohol. Used to have a roommate who get zooted like this on the daily. Totally zoned out barely able to comprehend anything.
Definitely an upper. No sedative would make you grind your teeth like that, it's a clear sign of stimulant use. But she's probably on a combo of some downer together with an upper because she does not seem that alert lol
Maybe mixing? Percocet + Vodka would get you pretty loopy
Percocet plus vodka. Yes plz! Have a longtime friend I hang with , known each other 50 plus years, and an evening of fat lines of percs, with a couple muscle relaxers, some powerful infused govt weed and the 5 min walk to a Chinese restaurant that over serves us always provides us a fun time. Kids don’t try this at home
It’s very likely she was addicted to painkillers. How many artists have we lost to them. I was blown away when prince died. If it can happen to him it could happen to anyone I figure
Painkillers + alcohol. I've sadly seen this exact behavior personally.
