Stacy Ferguson aka Fergie says she can relate to what Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan are going through.


Fergie said at a Conde Nast Fashion Rocks event in New York:

They're young,

I was young when I went through my stuff. Leave them alone. If they want to get better, they're going to get better on their own.

Britney Spears, who has returned to Los Angeles after a disappointing comeback performance Sunday at the MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas, she spent a month in rehab earlier this year.


Lindsay Lohan, is in her third rehab program, following her DUI arrest last month, for which she was sentenced to a day in jail. In a statement, Lindsay Lohan said she was addicted to alcohol and drugs.


Fergie, who spent time in rehab was for a crystal meth addiction, says that Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan should ignore the media attention and focus on their problems.


Fergie added:

If somebody is going to change, they have to want to do it themselves

,

I think it is really unfair to them when they are trying to get help. We're all watching as a nation and commenting day by day on their rehabilitation. It's not fair. You're supposed to have a sanctuary, a place where you can go and not be pressured every day.

Fergie, is currently dating actor Josh Duhamel and is a singer from the group, The Black Eyed Peas.
