LATEST: American Idol judge PAULA ABDUL has denied she is suffering from Addison's, despite discussing the adrenal disease on a leaked conference call with her management.
In a tape obtained by the New York Post, Abdul outlines her health problems and talks about Addison's disease, a disorder that causes irritability, chronic fatigue and muscle weakness.
However, the 44-year-old insists she is just exceptionally tired.
Abdul tells People.com, "I haven't been diagnosed with it. I'm just exhausted. Sometimes I have really low blood sugar levels. It's all because I work very hard, that's it.
"When you work as hard as I do, you become exhausted. That's what happens.
I'm working on five different projects right now. And now people are saying I have Addison's. I'm tired." Earlier today (01Jun07), Abdul blasted the "illegal" and "unethical" leaking of the conference call tape, which she feels has violated her privacy.
