The Hole frontwoman, who was sentenced to six months in rehab in 2005 after breaking the terms of her probation and then leaving a 28-day treatment programme without permission, used to be so dependent on drugs she would call on sex workers to pay her a visit to help her find a dealer, reports The Daily Express.
However, she insists she's now clean and sober.
She says, "I had this rock and roll trick that I would do. I'd be in the worst (place)... like Cleveland (Ohio) or Cologne, Germany... Munich... I wanted drugs because I used to do drugs and I don't do them any more.
"I would call up a hooker agency and I would ask for the ugliest hooker, because the ugliest hooker would know (where to get drugs).
"They would think I was a lesbian and come with all sorts of things (sex toys) and I'd be like, 'No, no put it down, I just want to know where the drugs are.' So that was my trick."
