Breaking Tweets Entertainment, along with other media outlets, reported the initial story on Wednesday but now Abdul is saying the story was fabricated.
According to E! Online, Abdul claims that her stay, three days long versus the 30 that LHJ reported, at the La Costa Resort in California was spent exercising and enjoying the spa.
"I want to make it perfectly clear to everyone that I have never been addicted to or abused drugs in my life," the statement said. "I have never been drunk. I have never entered a rehab or detox treatment center."
The "American Idol" judge also spoke out on WKQI's Mojo in the Morning, saying "It was very stressful for me to hear that and to be quoted saying something I never said."
The Twitterverse doesn't seem to believe Abdul's claims:
