Macy Gray's Wild Confessions: Party Nights with Courtney Love, Finding Bliss in "Vice and a Little Vice"

Here is the rewritten article:

Singer-songwriter Macy Gray, 56, made a splash on MTV’s reality series “The Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets” with her candid admission about drug use and a surprising conversation with rock legend Courtney Love.

During the July 23 season premiere, Gray confided in her cast mate, Tyler Posey, about her past friendship with Love. “We used to be really close, and we’d talk a lot. We’d do coke, and we’d just talk nonsense, totally out of our minds,” Gray revealed.

Love had shared her wisdom with Gray, saying, “The thing about drugs is that they’re bad luck. Every time I do drugs, something bad happens.”

Later in the episode, Gray expressed frustration with a “secret mission” that involved a breathwork facilitator. “Oh god, I just don’t do the hippie stuff. I live in L.A., that’s hippie kingdom. If I’m healing, that’s not how I do it,” Gray said in a confessional.

When asked how she finds healing, Gray jokingly replied, “Like, a little pick-me-up and a couple of shots. Get those edibles down my throat, and I’m good, girl. Then order me a pizza, and I’m straight. I don’t need all that stuff, I’m good.”

Gray’s confessions sparked a lively online discussion, with many social media users unfazed by her potential cocaine habit. One commenter wrote, “If you’re surprised, then you didn’t grow up on her. She’s more than just ‘I try to walk away but I stumble.'” Another person joked, “Maaan, I bet her cocaine stories are legendary.”

Gray received a semi-co-sign when someone commented, “Edibles and pizza girlie here! But coke, Macy? Naaaaah, we ain’t doing that!”

This isn’t the first time Gray spoke about doing drugs. In a 2014 appearance on “Oprah: Where Are They Now?”, she explained how fame impacted her life. “My drug use started as a result of being on tour. My crew was from England. All they did was smoke hash all day, and they knew where to get the good ecstasy. So, you start playing with stuff, and then, suddenly, it’s like a crutch.”

In an April 2022 interview, Gray claimed to be “totally sober.” She released her album “The Reset” nine months later in February 2023. The Grammy award winner’s discography also includes the triple-platinum “On How Life Is” album.

The latest season of “The Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets” features Macy Gray, Chet Hanks, Kim Zolciak, O.T. Genasis, Ally Brooke, Josie Canseco, Tyler Posey, and Johnny Weir.

Gray told Us Weekly, “It was definitely new for me. I haven’t had roommates in a really long time. I knew who everybody was, but I didn’t know anybody personally.”
