Fergie takes therapists help to make business decisions

LONDON - Black Eyed Peas star Fergie has revealed that she gets so overwhelmed when finalising business deals that she asks her therapist to listen in on her important conference calls.

The singer struggles to make decisions when it comes to the hip-hop group’s endorsement contracts, admitting she lacks the business sense of her bandmate will.i.am.

She relies on a “support team” including her parents and personal counsellor to help her navigate negotiations.

“The business side of it? That’s not my cup of tea. Will’s great at it. He thrives on it. It’s just not my personality. I want to get straight to the art. The other part of it? I have my business team explain it to me. I actually have conference calls where I have my mom and dad on the phone, my accountant, my lawyer… Once in a while, I even have my therapist on these calls,” the Daily Star quoted Fergie as telling Billboard.com.

“I’m not kidding. Because there’s so much smoke… I’m very cut to the chase; that’s my personality. I don’t like to speak in circles…So my therapist listens in. Because it’s very important to make informed decisions. I can be very impulsive, which is great as an artist but not as a businesswoman. So I have to slow down and surround myself with a great support team,” Fergie added. (ANI)
