Jamie Lee Curtis talks of Pill Addiction, MJ

Jamie Lee Curtis tells MORE magazine she stole her sister’s painkillers.

Jamie Lee Curtis recently blogged about Michael Jackson’s death and her own addiction to pills. The Daily Beast quotes her saying, “I too found painkillers after a routine cosmetic surgical procedure and I too became addicted.” She talked about her addiction—and sobriety—extensively in MORE magazine a year ago, saying, “I had a problem with drugs and alcohol. The feeling I got from [the pills] was, oh, wow, I feel better. So I rode that. No one knew.” Curtis also admits she stole her sister’s painkillers at one point and wrote her a letter, saying, “‘I’ve betrayed you, and I know that you’re angry, and you have every right to be…. I am lonely. I take them at night at home to ease the pain. I was so afraid to tell you.’”
