Robin Thicke Opens Up About HIs "Personal Hell" And We Can't Help But Feel A Tad Sorry For Him
Star admits his 'Blurred Lines' case with Pharrell wasn't important to him thanks to the collapse of his marriage...
Robin Thicke has spoken about THAT trial concerning his smash hit single ‘Blurred Lines’, revealing he was going through “personal hell” at the time.
In March, the 38-year old and collaborator Pharrell Williams were ordered to pay $7.4million to Marvin Gaye’s estate for copyright infringement.

Now, during an interview with the New York Times, Thicke was keen to state that he knows the difference between being inspired and theft, stating: “I'm constantly inspired, but I would never steal. And neither would Pharrell."
He went on to admit that the trial was overshadowed by the break-down of his marriage to childhood sweetheart Paula Patton, claiming: “What I will - what I can say - is that when I did the deposition, it was two weeks after my separation from my wife.
"I was going through personal hell at the time. And I was careless in the deposition. I can't go into the details of what was said in the deposition beyond that, because of the ongoing litigation.”
He continued: "My personal issues were all that mattered to me at the time. That's why I use the word 'careless' to describe my attitude at the time.
"Obviously, I didn't give my all to the trial. It simply wasn't as important to me as what was going on in my personal life. I was lost at the time. I had lost my way."
Thicke and Pharrell continue to appeal the verdict, with a spokesperson for the ‘Happy’ singer branding the result “a horrible precedent for music and creativity".
Despite losing the case, Williams still continues to include ‘Blurred Lines’ in his set, most recently performing the track at the Glastonbury Festival last weekend.
