In an interview on CBS Sunday Morning, the Live To Dance host denied rumours that she abuses drugs and alcohol, insisting that her odd behaviour is simply a part of her "goofy" personality.
"I've never had a drinking problem. Even though I've been in this business for quite some time," she explained.
"I've never physically been drunk in my life. I've never been drunk in my life! I don't use recreational drugs. But I am goofy."
Abdul went on to defend her intellect, challenging those who might doubt her intelligence.
"I am intelligent. I am," she said. "Having a brain, that's a concept, yes, with Paula Abdul. I have a brain."
