Robin Thicke admits to being ‘high and drunk’ in interviews
     2015-October-26  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    ROBIN THICKE’S interviews are apparently all a blur.

    The singer revealed that he lied to the media and was both high and drunk during every interview he did in 2014 in a deposition video that was released Saturday.

    “I didn’t do a single interview last year without being high on both [alcohol and Vicodin],” Thicke admitted. “With all due respect, I was high and drunk every time I did an interview last year.”

    “When I give interviews, I tell whatever I want to say to help sell records,” the 38-year-old singer added.

    When asked if he considered himself an honest person, Thicke quickly replied, “No.”

    The deposition was conducted for the lawsuit accusing him, Pharrell Williams and T.I. of ripping “Blurred Lines” off of Marvin Gaye’s 1977 hit, “Got to Give It Up.”

    Williams’ deposition was also released Saturday. In it, he expressed feeling “uncomfortable” multiple times when being forced to answer questions regarding his contributions to the song, as well as past comments he made about using “bluegrass chords” and “pentatonic harmonies.”

    At one point, the 42-year-old producer becomes so frustrated that he says, “I’m not here to teach you music.” Despite the fact that he was a former coach on “The Voice,” Williams added that he’s “not a teacher.”

    His anger built up even more when opposing attorney Richard Busch accused him of not being able to read music.

    “I’m just asking you if you can read notes. You told me you could, and I’m asking you to identify the notes that are shown, and you can’t do it, can you,” Busch probed.

    Once again, Williams let him know that he wasn’t comfortable.

    Gaye’s family was awarded more than US$7 million in the “Blurred Lines” trial in March. The jury found that Williams, Thicke and T.I. were guilty of infringing copyright on the song. Unhappy with the outcome, however, Thicke and Williams have sought out an appeal with help from their lawyer, Howard King.
