It must be really tough to be an American Idol finalist. For 3 months of your life, your story is all anyone will talk about and then you get the boot back into obscurity.
Truly tragic! We guess that’s why Season 1 finalist Nikki McKibbin drowned herself in a bottle of gin after the show was over… and kept on going for another six years.
After a stint of Dr. Drew’s Celebrity Rehab last year, Nikki is finally ready to open up about her addiction and her alcohol abuse. And it sure ain’t pretty!
“I was a horrible person when I drank,” she says. “I was awful and really mean and really angry and I started fights with people for no reason, I was a bad mom and a bad wife.”
Oh, a violent drunk. How original. But at least you didn’t get into a car.
Oh, wait!
“I took care of my son when I was high and was driving to school drunk, I was just really bad off.”
Sounds like the kid would have been better off driving himself to school.
But while some finalists have found comfort in their Idol comrades, Nikki decided to burn those bridges as well, especially with Kelly Clarkson: “I haven’t talked to Kelly in a while. She sent me tickets to a concert three years ago and I showed up high and I don’t think she wanted anything to do with me after that.”
A good, clean girl like Kelly sure as hell doesn’t want to hang out with a boozehound like you.
Oh well, at least Nikki’s better now.
Let’s put her back in the box of Idol people no one cares about!
