Macy Gray is currently on the latest season of MTV’s The Surreal Life, where the famous participants took part in a collective breathing activity on a recent episode. However, Gray chose not to participate.
During her confessional she told producers why she wasn’t interested in the exercise. “I just don’t do the hippie s—. Like, I live in L.A. — that’s hippie kingdom. If I’m healing, that’s not how I do it.” When a producer asked about Gray’s preferred way to find tranquility, she responded with a laugh, “Like, cocaine. And a couple — a couple shots.”

The Grammy winning singer also added, “Get those edibles down my throat, and I’m good, girl! Then order me a pizza, I’m straight! I don’t need all that s—. I’m good.” This season of The Surreal Life also stars Chet Hanks, Kim Zolciak, Tyler Posey, Josie Canseco, O.T. Genasis, Ally Brooke and Johnny Weir. In the past, Gray has been open about her experiences with both substance abuse and mental health, telling PEOPLE in 2021 the latter topic “is very neglected, and not just in this country, but I think globally.”

“Your mother’s always telling you, ‘Be strong and you’ll get through it. Don’t cry,’” she said at the time. “But it’s very debilitating and it’s expensive [to your mental health]. So that’s where I really want to help out as much as I can, especially with kids.”
