‘I’ve never taken drugs or been offered any’: Pearl Modiadie

So often parents warn their kids about the entertainment industry being drug-infested.
Never have I ever, in the 13 years I’ve been in this industry been offered drugs or even seen anybody take them. Or is it because I live in my own bubble?

I’ve definitely heard stories, but it’s never been in my immediate environment. If it was, I was oblivious to it .

I’ve been offered a couple of years ago by our peers.

I have come across so many people in your industry that consume drugs. So many.

However, it’s prevalent in other industries, too. I have seen it medical, legal and financial circles. https://t.co/szIhDrt24t

Thanks for this post. I don’t think believe me when I say at the or 57 and having grown up in both the townships and the city, I have never seen drugs with my own eyes or have seen anyone doing drugs. I run and and own a record label but still have not witnessed this.

The entertainment industry is broad and you happen to be in the media fraternity of the industry. You might not be aware of what happens in other parts of entertainment like hip-hop-where they always rap about drugs.

How is she being oblivious? Engineers, doctors, scientists, lawyers and even blue collar workers are affected a lot by drug use, you just won't hear about it because they're not famous. Many many artists have not been affected by drugs and that's also a truth.
