Michael Defends Controversial "Can't Sleep" music video and Discusses Scarlett, Nadia Breakup, Beef with Olivia

 

  There's been some controversy about Chants of Reign's latest music video for their song "Can't Sleep" which stars actor Dane Dehaan, singer Dez Duron, Tracy Bilson (sister of Rachel Bilson) and actress Nicola Peltz. The song and music video depicts a shy and nerdy type guy (Dehaan) who is obsessed with a female friend (Bilson) but she is dating a hot bad boy type (Duron) who cheats on her and hits her. At the end of the video Dehaan's character hangs himself and Bilson discovers his body.

 But the controversy is stemming from a moment toward the end of the video where Al (the rapper of the group) raps the line "those panties are getting ripped off like they invested with Bernie Madoff" and in the video there is a scene during that line where it appears Dehaan's character is raping Bilson. Meyers, while promoting his new action thriller "Truth or Die" on Access Hollywood, spoke about the issue and clarified his intentions with the video (which he also directed) and that scene in particular.

On the plot of the video: "The song is about a guy who is stuck in the friend zone with a girl who is involved in a dysfunctional and abusive relationship and it's from his perspective as he vents his anger and frustrations over her thinking this other guy, because of his looks, is the better option. We wanted to make a song and create a video that really captured the raw and gritty reality of that situation. We did not want to water it down or sugar coat it. We wanted the lyrics and the video to really capture the public's consciousness and have them go 'dang, that's really what it's like, and it's not fun'. I directed the video and I co-wrote the lyrics with Al. We wanted scenes that captured the lyrics of the song. The whole thing with Dane getting drunk and pleasuring himself to her Facebook picture, him getting mad when he sees she's on Facebook even though she said she was at work, reading her boyfriend's posts on her wall, him dating a girl but not really into her because he's in love with Tracy, that's all stuff pulled from real life. I can't tell you how many guys have said to me, 'that's my story'."


On the "rape" sequence: "That was totally misconstrued. There's no rape scene. He's not raping her. Listen, throughout the video, if you pay attention, there are little moments of fantasy where Dane is imagining what it would be like if they were together. Which is why we had the lighting get all bright in those scenes. We did that look on purpose. There's a line where Al says 'we could have held hands like field trips' and we see them holding hands and a part where he says 'our sex would have been epic' and we see them having sex and then the part everyone has been getting up in arms over was when Al says the line about ripping her panties off and we see Dane ripping them off, we never see her face. We probably, haha, should have had a shot of her face enjoying it, because it was one of those fantasy scenes where if they were together as a couple, that's how he'd take them off. But people assumed he's raping her or whatever which makes no sense to me. We're supposed to be rooting for her to choose him, why would we make him do that?"

::On the cast::

::DANE::
   "We lucked out. We got everyone we wanted. All my first choices said yes. I first saw Dane in Chronicle like everyone else and became a fan. When I first came up with the concept for the video I instantly thought of Dane playing the lead kid and he said yes right away when we called. He had never really heard any of our music but he just really responded to the story of the video. He said it really moved him and reminded him of stuff he'd been through. He said it felt like a short film, just with music. He was excited to be apart of it. He was just worried he couldn't because the thing was he only had one day to shoot because he was filming some pick up shots for Spider Man 2 so we had to change the setting from LA to New York which is where he was to make it more feasible so he wouldn't have to leave set, fly across country and fly back and all that. So we did that, just for him. Just to have him in the video. He did a great job. He's really acting in the video, which most actors don't do when they appear in a music video. They show up and collect a paycheck. Dane took it serious, he was asking me a lot of questions. He never hung around Dez. Didn't wanna meet him. He spent a lot of time with Tracy. Wrote her letters. E-mailed them to her days before the shoot. He really got into character. It was brilliant."


::DEZ::
"Dez, we all know him from The Voice. I wanted someone with that Abercrombie look to play the hot boyfriend and I thought he'd be perfect. I remembered him from that show and thought he'd be perfect for the part. He had never acted before and was super nervous about that but I coached him through it and just told him to be 'smooth yet heartless' when it came to how he treated Tracy on camera. He also had a ton of questions about the fight scenes where he's hitting Tracy and stuff, since that's so not him, but he was real brave and he went there and it was great. Those scenes were tough to shoot but everyone gave their all. I think he has a future in acting if he wants it. I'm proud of the work he did and he thanks me for putting him in it because he's getting offered scripts now. He says he has the acting bug now, haha."


::TRACY::
"Tracy is an interesting story. I met her last December 2012 at an Intermix in L.A. while shopping with Frankie from the Saturdays. I said to Frankie 'Man that girl over there helping the customers looks a lot like Rachel Bilson'. But I knew there was no way Rachel Bilson was working at an Intermix. I mean I know her acting career isn't exactly popping right now but she can't be THAT broke. It can't be that bad, she's engaged to Hayden Christensen. He got that Star Wars money. She should be good. She shouldn't be folding shirts and asking her boss 'can I take my lunch break now?', haha.

  So anyway, I had to be sure, and at least do something to tease this worker and let her know she looks like Rachel Bilson. So as a joke I go up to her and pretend to accidentally bump into her then I say 'sorry Rachel' and she's like 'Huh?' and I go 'oh, sorry you look just like Rachel Bilson' and with a 100% straight face, as if she gets this everyday and is sick of it she replies 'that's my sister' and I thought she was just messing with me. She then pulls out her phone and shows me pictures of her and Rachel. Turns out they really are sisters. She says her name is Tracy and I ask if she's an actor and she says no not really. She's been on a few auditions, never got any parts, and just doesn't really actively pursue it. She just works and goes to school. Which I found super weird yet refreshing at the same time. Most people in this town who are related to someone famous are usually so busy trying to leech off that fame and get to the top, yet here is Tracy Bilson, younger sister of Rachel Bilson, with a Hollywood connection most struggling actresses would kill for, and here she is working at a retail store, going to college, making minimum wage, driving a beat up Honda, and she's completely happy with that.

   So, we exchanged numbers and I say one day I would like to work with you. Put you in something, whether it be a film I'm doing, music video whatever. And when coming up with the concept for this video I knew I wanted the girl to be a girl next door type, but sexy. Not some cheerleader type super hot tall blonde or bimbo type. But the type of girl who looks kinda troubled. That girl around the way, college girl hot. That girl in the back of the classroom with the seductive eyes and sick body who every guy wants but is too intimidated to talk to. And Tracy really embodied that.

 There's just something about her. I always joked with her. If I was 8 or 9 years younger and not famous and we were classmates or something, I'd totally be in love with a girl like her. She has those eyes. Very mysterious and seductive and troubled. Like she's been through a lot. And she may not be an actress but she is very sensitive and vulnerable and in touch with her emotions. She's a damaged soul but so beautiful in so many ways. She's an extremely private person and the more you try to get to know her the more she puts her walls up and I wanted her character in the video to be just like that. I kept telling her on set, 'Don't act. Just be yourself'. She did a tremendous job. I mean such a natural. Dez, Dane, Nicola who plays Dane's girlfriend, they've all been in front of the camera before. Yet Tracy was the only one to nail it every time on the first take. Funny thing is after we wrapped and I showed her how good the footage was I was like 'you're gonna want to start taking acting more serious now' and she laughs at me and goes 'nah, not my thing'. The next day she went back to work at Intermix."
.........................

The interview then switched to his relationships.

-He admitted he and Nadia broke up early July after finding out she was still using drugs.

-He says he and Rosie decided to just be friends.

-As far as Olivia Wilde, he says they are not friends anymore and do not speak after a huge fight in June where he told her "she could do better" than her boyfriend Olivier and he did not like how he was treating her. Meyers said she could not "handle the truth" and they fought. She is no longer involved in their production company and will not be attending the Truth or Die premiere.

-He says he and Scarlett have begun seeing each other. "It's weird. It all started after she got attacked by those kids. I felt this thing inside, like 'man I hope she's okay'. I realized I really really cared for her. I texted her immediately. So anyway, we got together and I was comforting her about that as she was just comforting me, as a friend, about the Nadia breakup. And one thing led to another. We started kissing. We couldn't stop ourselves. We been dating ever since. She's become not only my girl but a good friend. And I think, I hope, no matter what happens in the future, she will remain a good friend and someone who is always there for me and I there for her. She's one of the nicest most genuine people I've ever met. It's so funny. We went on a date last year and felt nothing, and agreed we felt nothing. Moved on...but it took weird circumstances for us to sort of figure out we need each other. I even told her, 'there's a reason we keep finding each other'. I just want us to keep it private, as private as possible. I'm not talking about my relationships in interviews anymore because I always jinx things. I think I know now why celebrities don't discuss this stuff. You look so stupid shouting from the mountaintop that so and so is the love of your life in an interview then 3 months later it's over. Let's just take things slow and see how it plays out. It's just so weird because we been friends for so long and we just started to figure out, 'Hey! Why don't WE date?', haha!"

Michael Makes Controversial 'Inspirational' Speech to Acting Students at SFT

As we all know Michael was a part of the huge hit MTV2 show "The Best Tears" back when it began in 2007 and after leaving when the first season was over his film career took off. One could say he owes the show a great deal. Well, after two seasons the building where the show was filmed actually decided to turn itself into an actual Meisner acting school titled SFT, just like it was in the show. The staff have been trying to get Michael to come back and speak to the acting students there since last year and Michael finally found the time in his schedule to do so, although I hardly doubt they could have anticipated what he would say to the students. Basically his message was "Do whatever it takes to be successful, even the wrong thing. Because this industry is so competitive and shady that's the only way to get ahead. You also need to have some deep issues and crave fame in the worst way because if acting is just something you WANT to do because you kinda like to do it, all the obstacles that get in your way will make you quit. Those who NEED it never even consider quitting." Read the transcript or WATCH the video of it for yourself and tell us if you think what he said was wrong, true but not something you tell young aspiring actors, or right on the money.

.......................................................

MRM: Hey. Hows you guys doing? I'm not going to sit up here and pretend to know anything about giving speeches or inspiring other people. They asked me to give you guys advice and tips on how to make it so that's what I'm going to do. First of all I can't inspire anyone or any of you to want to make it. You have to be inspired on your own. And second, when people come here and talk to you about how to make it, they tend to always give real weak, generic bullshit answers like TRY HARD and NETWORK and BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. And coming from someone who has now been in the business for over a decade, that makes me laugh, and even more so, it makes me angry. Because they are lying to you. Anyone, other than me of course, when giving you advice on how to make it in Hollywood, is usually lying to you. Why would they want to help you? You are they're competition! Your success could mean their failure. There is way too much money and fame at stake. But I promise I won't do that here today. I will give you guys concrete things to do, names and phone numbers to call, on how to make it. Shit I know that works. Why? Because I want you guys to succeed.

Now let me quickly add, speaking of money and fame, a distinction here. When I was here one was made too. And I'm sure it's the same here and at every other acting school. Half of you here don't give a shit about money and fame. So my speech will be useless to you. Others here do care. That's who I'm here to help. The biggest difference between New York and L.A. is trying to be an actor in New York is much easier. It's still super difficult don't get me wrong but at least your talent matters. If you wanna do stage or theater then great. Good for you. New York is the place for you and you can struggle here for a long time and it's okay. L.A. is a different beast. L.A. is all about "whose your agent?"..."Who are you dating?"..."How much money your last film made?"..."What parties have you been to?"..."How good you look?". All that shit. Most of you probably won't be able to handle L.A.

Now the school might not like the next thing I'm about to tell you but that's okay. I'm here for you, not them. I will say this: If acting is just something you like or even love, something you find fun, but you can still see yourself being happy doing something else....then quit now. Acting is not for you. I mean that. Here's why I say that. This industry, especially for actors, is so competitive, so hard, so much rejection, losing auditions, people telling you that you suck, you aren't good looking enough, aren't funny enough, etc. It will weigh on your ego. And the human ego can only handle so much before it goes, you know what? I don't need this crap. Let me go do something else. But for someone who cannot eat or sleep or breath without acting, someone who NEEDS IT like the body needs oxygen, that thought never crosses their mind. Let me ask you something, when it hurts to touch fire you pull your hand away. Why? Because it HURTS! It burns. And you don't NEED to touch that fire. So you pull your hand away. But when you're sick with the flu and you have some sort of sore throat or chest cold or something and it hurts to breath, do you just stop breathing? No. Why? Why? (A student says: "Because you HAVE to breath") THANK YOU! You HAVE TO! Well look at acting that way. There are going to be times where it gets so hard you will ask yourself do I HAVE to do this? Is this worth sacrificing friendships, relationships, etc. And you have to be able to answer: Yes. Everyone has a different reason for wanting fame or success. I have one. Each of you in this room has one. We don't have to go into it. We're all different. Most of the time, if you do your research in a celebrity's life, there is someone who left. A guy or girl who broke their heart. A parent, usually the father, who didn't love them enough. Someone who you wanted to love you didn't love you and you feel, IF I BECOME FAMOUS, it will SHOW THEM! I don't know. Not every situation is like this but from what I've seen most of the time, that's how it is. But whatever it is, search within yourself and know the answer. Know why you need this so bad, and whenever shit gets hard and you even CONTEMPLATE the thought of quitting, remind yourself why you're doing this. Who you wanna impress. Who you are trying to show up. Maybe you feel if you don't become what you told everyone you will become you will feel like a failure. We all have our reasons. Just know yours. OK? That will give you the strength to fight the many many obstacles and challenges that will come your way. Obstacles are going to come at you and come at you and come at you and you gotta swing at those obstacles like ... (makes punching moves). Wassup? Wassup now bitch? Yes you got nothing to say now because your jaw is fuckin' broke! Make those obstacles your bitch.

Whatever it takes. Whatever it takes. You have to crave this. Like I was saying before, this has to be your LIFE for you to go this path or you won't make it. When friends are partying, you're rehearsing. Memorizing lines. Boyfriend or girlfriend wants to hang out, sorry no time. Family hasn't seen you in 6 months? Oh well. That's what it takes. Obsession. Obsession. Dedication isn't good enough. If you guys only knew. If you guys only fucking knew what your competition was up to while you sleep in bed at night. I swear to God you'd quit now. You wanna know the real truth about Hollywood. You want the dirt. The horror stories. Most of you will fly out to L.A. at some point with this dream and within a year or less I promise you will be back home where ever that is for you broke and in tears because it wasn't this helpful friendly place you thought it was. I have been to industry parties with people doing coke and girls taking a producer or casting agent or director upstairs to blow him for a part. I have been in casting offices waiting to speak to someone and his intern comes in, goes to his desk, she looks at his pile of headshots and takes someone who just walked in and puts their headshot at the top of the pile. I'm like, Hey walk ins head shots go at the bottom. She says to me, No this girl's mother knows the agent. She gets first look. I'm like WHAT? Haha. Yes. That's how it goes. Who do you know? Who are you fucking? Yes. So guess what? That girl at the top of the pile gets the first offer for the part. That's how it is sometimes folks. I know and even have dated some girls who have got on their knees for roles. I won't say who, haha. But it happens. You'd be shocked the number of A list actresses out there who have done it. Whatever it takes. 

You think your competition gives a fuck about you and your problems and your rent? Nope. I always tell people, outside things are gonna get in your ear and steer you away from your dream. That 9 to 5 job that needs you Friday at 3 but you have an audition. Friends who wanna hang out that weekend but you have to rehearse. Family or a boyfriend or girlfriend who miss you but you gotta head somewhere to film something. Your life will be full of moments like these. Choices like these. Do I go see them or do I continue to work on my craft? You have choose your craft. Because while you go party or while you go to your stupid job and be someone else's 9 to 5 slave, another actor is working, hustling, networking, paying off agents, sleeping with someone, to get ahead. While you wait tables. Like a fucking loser. You need to ignore these everyday stresses that can get in your ear like a bee or insect and fight them off (makes more punching moves). Get away! Get away! That's how you get distracted off the path. These people, parents, co-workers, bosses, friends, who live the 9 to 5 life, will never understand you. They live inside a box. They think the famous are cut from another cloth. They see these people on TV and movies and magazines and billboards and it might as well be another world to them. And they see you everyday and assume you are one of them. They can't see it yet. That you belong to THAT world, not theirs. You see it, but they don't. So they won't support or truly believe in your dream. They live in a box and go to work everyday and live in a circle. They wake up, go to work, come home, go to bed. Wake up, go to work, come home go to bed. Ever think about that. If you took a map and drew a line of the shit you do everyday, it's like one big circle. Everyday like a rat in a cage, you do the same thing over and over again. I would kill myself if I had to do that. Just the thought of that makes me sick.

You guys aren't like them. So there's gonna come a time, where you start to see the divide. You will get some success, maybe land a small walk on part in a Leonardo DiCaprio movie. Then you have to fly back to Kentucky or where ever you're from and go to work that next week. You will have a moment. Your boss will be like, 'I need you to work an extra shift on Sunday' and come at you with all these 'problems'. Your friends will be like 'my boyfriend did this or that and I'm confused'. All her 'problems'. You will be at family for thanksgiving and hear people talk about their bills or mortgage or whatever. Replacing something that is broke in the house. And you will have nothing to say to these people who you were once so close to. Because they have '9 to 5' problems. You now have 'Leonardo DiCaprio' problems. Meaning, you just did a scene with him and hope it went well. Your agent is working on a deal with his agent. You just got back from Cannes or TriBeca or Sundance film festival hanging out with DeNiro and Clooney. You are now in a mindframe of getting yourself on the level of these people. 24 hours ago you were joking around with millionaire producers in their mansion while famous people walk about and now you are in Ohio with grandma and grandpa talking about what time the next morning they want to take out the garbage. You will be like, what the fuck am I even doing here? I'm wasting time. Ya know?

So here's what it takes. I want you guys to do these following steps. Because honestly this school, they just want your money. They live off your tuition. They will tell you all the cookie cutter things you wanna hear, tomorrow, and from here on out after I leave, but they won't tell you how fucked up and harsh it really it out there. I've been there. I will. Here's what you do. Write this down (waits for students to get out pen and paper). Ok. In this order. One: You study your craft. Get good. Live life. Harness your pain. Use it for your acting. Two: Get a job, a good job and save up your money. Borrow money if you have to. Steal it. I don't care. Save up to 5 to 10 grand. Three: Go online and audition for any type of acting jobs you can get. Local. Small. Student films. I don't care. This is just so you can get a reel of your work and have stuff on your resume. You're gonna get nowhere without a reel. A good one. Put together your reel and have someone professional edit it for you so it's done the right way. You have no idea how fucking stupid Hollywood is about shit like that. They won't even LOOK at your reel if it's not done in the standard way a reel should be done. The way the scenes are titled, at what point your name comes up. No music, just your scenes, with black screen separating each one. Name at the end. Stuff like that. Look it up. People will show you. In the same way a resume or a screenplay has to be in a certain format, so does a reel. So get it right or you're screwed. I mean that. You gotta have your shit looking professional. Four: Go online and find an agent. Contact the ones that are legit and set up a meeting. Even if they are in L.A. Get your ass on a place and fly out here. Even for a weekend. Motels are cheap. Meet with this agent. Many agents. Here's where that money you saved up comes in. YOU PAY THEM to represent you. You may ask 'why would I do that? agents work for free and get a commission of your pay'. Yes that is true...BUT...if you go to an agency that has established working actors there already, why would they push you? They will meet you, take your resume and reel, throw it at the bottom of a pile. Tell you that they will be in touch. They will get on the phone with DiCaprio or some actor they have working on soap operas and make million dollar deals with them, pay their Ferrari bill, and they will never ever call you. You have to give them an incentive to pay attention to you. Once you pay them, you have a binding verbal contract for them to push you. That's industry talk it means they are talking about you to clients and at industry parties. They are actively recommending you for roles and trying hard to get you work. Trust me it works. Now sometimes money won't work but in the case of a pretty girl, haha, hey, do whatever it takes. That's where girls have advantages over guys. Notice how so many young actresses are 'discovered' in Hollywood almost every month...but with young male actors it's only once every couple years? Huh? Haha. Yea.

Now from there you are on your own. But at least you have your foot in the door. Ya know this school, and most schools, they teach you HOW to act in order to get good and learn a technique, a craft. They teach you HOW to prepare once you get a role and how to behave and work on set to execute your performance once you are filming. But there is a HUGE journey between leaving this school with your skills you've been taught...and the day you land an agent and start working. There is a whole WORLD in between no one is preparing you for and that world is called getting your foot in the door. So that's what I hope I can clarify for you guys here today. I hope I was of some use. Yea, this was fun. Thanks guys! Best of luck!

Michael and Scarlett shopping at the Grove in LA yesterday

Scarlett and Michael seen again last night in West Hollywood!

Michael and Scarlett spotted in LA

Mel Discusses Michael in September Issue of DETAILS Magazine

On news stands next month will be the September issues of Details magazine and on the cover will be none other than Mel Morley. In it she discusses her rough 2012, which got bad in late July when her affair with Snow White and the Huntsman director Jake Scott got public and caused boyfriend Rob Pattinson to dump her. Her career also took a hit as she got dropped from several projects. It capped off in 2013 when STAR Magazine readers named her the third most hated celeb behind Chris Brown and Kim Kardashian. She also touches on Michael Reese Meyers. Here are the parts involving him:

On Being ranked third most hated celeb by STAR magazine: 

____________________________________________________

Mel: "I don't get it. What did I do to deserve that. Is it jealousy or what?"

Details: "Well you did cheat on Twilight fan favorite Rob Pattinson and with a married man no less. People think you broke up a home. Scott is divorced now. Also just the way you treated Michael Reese Meyers, whom people adore. He put your name on his neck, formed a band and wrote albums of music just to get over you. A lot of people just have this image of you as a bad girlfriend who doesn't know how to treat a good guy. A guy tons of girls would kill to be with."

Mel: "Well first of all I made a mistake, I cheated. Yea. But so what? So have many others. And it takes two to tango. [Jake] approached me. I didn't chase him. He broke up his own family. I take no responsibility for that. Sorry. I don't. Rubbish. And as for Michael, that was so long ago. What, 6 years ago? Why are people even still harping on that? I guess cause he mentions me in every song, yea? Listen. we were wrong for each other. He was very controlling and possessive. I was too immature for the type of relationship he wanted. I wasn't ready. Not for the type of love he was trying to give. It was an abusive relationship. We hurt each other and are better off without each other. It's as simple as that. I can understand the Rob thing, we had a good thing going and I ruined it, I know that. But me and Mike weren't some fairy tale romance ya know? That was some real dark fucked up shit man. Like Ike and Tina. Not pretty at all."

.....................................................

On Michael Mentioning her in Chants of Reign songs:

Mel: "You know what? I'm a fan of his acting. I think he is incredibly talented. And to be honest I love his band. They make some wicked songs. I have all the albums. But I know which songs are about me. It's quite hilarious to me he still mentions me. I just wish he'd get off it, ya know? It was 6 years ago. He's been with other girls. I mean really? What could I have done to make such a big impact?"

Details: "Which song bothers you the most?"

Mel: "Probably These Girls are All the Same. From the new album. Only because it's rubbish. Half that shit isn't even true. My daddy never left. My parents are still married to this day. I never cried fake tears. None of it. Not sure what he's remembering."

Details: "Do you think he is still in love with you?"

Mel: "I know he is."

Details: "How?"

Mel: "Because he told me. He said 'I'll always be in love with you. You're the only person that makes me feel alive. I may be with other girls but they'll never compare to you."

Details: "When did he say this to you?"

Mel: "On the set of Inception."

.....................................................

On Wishing Him a Happy Birthday From Keira's Wedding:

Details: "So what led you to send that video tape message wishing him a happy birthday recently? Was that a way of you reaching out, trying to connect with him again, as a friend, or something more? Because for so long it seemed you hated him, hated talking about him or being asked about him, never mentioned him. You just wanted nothing to do with him or the memory of you and him..."

Mel: "Ok let me clear that one up. Keira put me up to it. Keira and him are close. Real close friends. But she knew this was her wedding day, most important day of her life and she could not be there for his birthday. She knew others were making videos wishing him happy birthday but she did not have time to do one so she asked me to do one and mention her in it and say it was from both of us, because she felt bad ya know? She didn't want him to think she forgot or didn't care. But I could also tell she was ya know, trying to get me to do it so we could bury the hatchet between us. Make peace or whatever. So I did it. I did it for her. Not trying to reach out to him. I don't care. I seriously don't. I'm living my life and I wish he'd just live his."

Details: "So the hatchet isn't buried between you two?"

Mel: "Nope. We don't speak. He doesn't have my number. I don't have his. I was just trying to be nice. But now I wish I hadn't. I knew the minute I sent that [tape] off the whole world was going to read way too much into it."

Michael and Nadia call it Quits

Michael and Nadia Milan have broken up. Reports have been coming out that she is no longer with his band as they tour and Michael confirmed things Wednesday with a tweet saying "Another one bites the dust. Officially single. I cannot allow myself to watch someone I love kill themself with drugs. You can't save them all". In a recent interview Michael revealed Nadia once battled cocaine addiction and used hypnotherapy to get better, and even becoming a counselor herself to abusers. It appears she has not stopped her habit and Meyers, who once had a cocaine (and pill) problem himself, clearly does not want to be around that at this stage of his life. I applaud him for this decision and wish him the best. Let the search for new love begin! The band comes home from their tour in August (they recently added two U.S. dates to the what was once just a UK tour. One in Brooklyn, New York's Barclay's center and one in Staples Center in L.A.).
