Delta Burke details her meth use for weight loss and 'ugly' Designing Women exit in first interview in decades

In her first interview in decades, 'Designing Women' star Delta Burke looked back at her 'ugly' exit from the show and past meth use for weight loss: It was 'like medicine.'

"It got ugly and very sad," the Emmy nominee — beloved for her role as former beauty queen Suzanne Sugarbaker on the hit sitcom — said in a rare interview with Chelsea Devantez on her Glamorous Trash podcast. Opening up for the first time in decades, Burke recalled how she looked to series creator Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, whom she worked with on the sitcom Filthy Rich before Designing Women, as a mentor. On Glamorous Trash, she discussed resorting to essentially taking crystal meth to shed pounds during her time on her pre- Designing Women series Filthy Rich.
