The The X Factor judge, who has struggled with marijuana and cocaine addiction in the past, took to Twitter to hit out at celebrities who ‘glamourise’ drug addiction, reports contactmusic.com.
‘I wish more people would lose the stigma and treat addiction as the deadly and serious disease that it is. Drugs are not something to glamourise in pop music or film to portray as harmless recreational fun. It’s not cute, cool or admirable,’ she posted on the microblogging site recently. ‘It's time people start really taking action on changing what we’re actually singing or rapping about these days, because you never know if you could be glamourising a certain drug to a first time user or alcoholic who could possibly end up dead.’
