Pharrell Williams' Contentious 'Blurred Lines' Testimony Unsealed

New video footage might make a few "Blurred Lines" a little clearer. "With all due respect, I was high and drunk every time I did an past year".

To frame things in proper perspective: These deposition videos were recorded at the beginning of a year ago while Thicke and Pharrell Williams were defending themselves against a lawsuit from the family of the late Marvin Gaye, which claim the duo Gaye's "" without proper permission.

When the crooner was asked whether he considered himself to be an honest person, he simply replied, "no".

Ethan Miller/Getty Images Robin Thicke performs at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards on May 18, 2014 in Las Vegas, Nev.

Williams' videos show him resting his hand on his chin as he's asked about his contributions to the song as well as past comments he'd made about using "bluegrass chords" and "pentatonic harmonies".

Grilled by Nashville attorney Richard Busch, Williams betrayed his public persona as a relentlessly positive figure by refusing to answer questions about his ability to read and explain music. In March, they won a $7.3 million judgment that was later pared down to $5.3 million.

Pharrell also categorically denies ripping off Marvin Gaye. Thicke will soon go to an appeals court to argue that there were improper legal decisions that led to a jury's verdict.

"I know the difference between inspiration and theft", he told the Times. "I'm constantly inspired, but I would never steal".

"I didn't do a single interview previous year without being high on both", Thicke admitted in the above video about being under the influence of alcohol and Vicodin during all interviews in 2014. "And neither would Pharrell".
