Report: Kim Kardashian Popping Valium & Sleeping Pills, Is She A Drug Addict?

May 24, 2012 by Hollywoodite

There’s a new report about the private life of Kim Kardashian, claiming that she skipped the booze hound step (step one: on the road to becoming a train wreck) and went straight to being cracky (step two).

A source tells Australia’s NW Magazine (the same magazine that got Brandi Glanville in murderous hot water a few days ago) that Kardashian is a secret drug addict.

“She’s freaking everyone out right now,” a source told the magazine. “She’s taking Valium and sleeping pills. The last time she self-medicated was when she split from Reggie Bush [two years ago] when everything felt impossible. Khloé’s really freaked out by it: she found a bottle of pills and knew straight away what Kim was doing.”

Khloe Kardashian is reportedly threatening to taddle to Kanye West and Kris Jenner if her sister’s not clean within three-weeks. The source continues: “It started with just a little bit to take the edge off or help her sleep, but she could become dependent upon pills, which worries her. I think she’s secretly pleased Khloé found out because she’d have struggled to stop on her own.”

This feels so incongruous, and random, and unlikely. On her own reality show, there are multiple (staged) scenes mocking  the 31-year-old for being a “boring” “party pooper” because she’s mostly sober and rarely even drinks. You don’t see candids of her falling out of clubs at all hours, and you rarely see her with a drink in her hand unless it’s a shill.

The source’s account is just plausible enough not to be slapped down entirely. But Kardashian is a gauche, new money, easy, porny famewhore. Not a Lohan. Let’s assume, for now, this really isn’t true.

Her rep was pretty quick with a denial, telling the UK’s Daily Mail newspaper “Their report is ridiculous.”
