In the candid interview, Scherzinger opens up about the body image issues, eating disorder and self-harm that wreaked havoc during her years performing with the Pussycat Dolls.

“I just hated myself,” says Scherzinger. “I hate myself. I really was so disgusted with myself, and so embarrassed. I felt so alone. I was in a group, and I never felt so alone in my life.”

She explains, “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,” recalls Scherzinger. “My bulimia was my addiction. Hurting myself was my addiction.”

She says, “I did it everyday for, like, years. 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.”
