‘Designing Women’ alum Delta Burke recalled looking like ‘a freaking goddess’ when using crystal meth to lose weight
Designing Women alum Delta Burke tried something a little harder than Ozempic when it came to losing weight — crystal meth.
Upon returning to the United States, Burke — a former Miss Florida who competed in the 1976 Miss America pageant — asked for a refill of the medication. Black Beauties was the street name for “a combination amphetamine capsule” in the 1960s and 1970s, according to Drugs.com. The pill was a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine which were marketed as diet pills. They were officially pulled from the market in 1998.
'Nobody knew about crystal meth at the time,' she said. ' 'You chop it up. You snort.' I said, 'I don't want to snort it.' So, I’d put it in cranberry juice and drink it … and we didn’t eat for five days.”Despite the drugs, Burke was being told she was still too big. Looking back, the actress said she was “a freaking goddess” at the time.
