According to the latest Robin Thicke news, a deposition video recorded on April 23, 2014 and was released on Saturday, Oct.24 reveals that he lied to the public and that he was high on drugs and alcohol in all his interviews in 2014.
The shocking Thicke's news comes after the song "Blurred Lines" was recognized as the no. 1 hit song in 2013. In the video obtained by Hollywood Reporter, Thicke claimed that there was no single interview in 2014, whether it's on the radio or televisions, that he was not under the influence of drugs and alcohol. The 38-year-old ex of Paula Patton also admitted that he lied to everyone when he claimed his role in composing "Blurred Lines."
"I didn't do a single interview last year without being high on both [alcohol and Vicodin]," Robin said. "With all due respect, I was high and drunk every time I did an interview last year."
When asked if he was drunk and on Vicodin when he did the Oprah show, Thicke quickly said yes. In the deposition video, Thicke also claimed that he's not an honest person, Us Weekly reports. He also said that when he did the interviews, he said everything that could help sell his records.
Thicke and Pharell Williams were ordered to pay $7.3 million to Marvin Gaye's family after a jury found out that they stole the rhythm and sound of Gaye's 1977 hit song, "Got to Give It Up." They were charged of copyright infringement in March 2015, according to People.
"This [the deposition video] is old news. The songs are still different and we look forward to complete vindication on appeal," Howard E. King, attorney for Thicke and Williams, said in a statement to ABC7.
Thicke's deposition also shows that the singer claimed that he tied "Blurred Lines" with Gaye's song, while Williams' deposition, which was also unsealed, reveals how much of the hit song's lyrics he wrote. It is said that Thicke and Williams' attorney will file for an appeal about the court's ruling.
