Abdul says she's dealt with several injuries over the years - she broke her leg in 1991 during a rehearsal, sustained a neck injury after a 1992 car crash, and survived a plane crash in 1993, which resulted in 15 surgeries - all of which required prescription pills.
Abdul explains the cocktail of muscle relaxers, nerve medication, and a pain medication patch "80 times more potent than morphine" might have led to her act "weird" on "American Idol."
Twitterers weren't surprised by the news:

Others were even harsher in response to her claim that she was never "high" when judging on "American Idol":
