Nicole Scherzinger Reveals Battle with Bulimia

Nicole Scherzinger poses for some quick photos before entering ITV Studios for a taping of The X Factor UK on Thursday (October 4) in London, England.

The 34-year-old singer is featured on an episode of VH1′s Behind the Music airing this weekend, during which she reveals her past battle with bulimia.

“It’s embarrassing. I never spoke about it. Like I said, I never want to play a victim, and I never wanted my family to hear about things from me because I think it would break their heart, you know,” Nicole said (via Entertainment Weekly). “I guess it was like my addiction, right? I never did drugs, but kinda doing things to myself was my addiction. It’s like when I got off stage, I was on this high, and I’d come back to my room and I’d be alone, so I would just do things. My bulimia was my addiction; hurting myself was my addiction.”

“I did it everyday for, like, years,” Nicole added. “Every time I had a second to be alone, I was doing something to myself. You get, like, blisters on your hands or scars on your hands, and I’d try to hide those. I think the girls could tell.”
