In August 2023, it was reported that Davidson, 30, had used ketamine as part of his treatment for depression.
At that time, the “Saturday Night Live” alumnus had just completed rehab, where he sought help for his PTSD and borderline personality disorder.
Speaking via the Daily Mail, Davidson said: “I can’t quit [weed] yet. It’s all I have left,” the comedian told the crowd at his “Pete Davidson: Rehab Tour. I did coke and ketamine and f–king all the pills and all that s–t. All I have is weed left, so it’s almost over, but I’m holding on for a little bit longer.”
Months before seeking help, Davidson was involved in a crash with his then-girlfriend Chase Sui Wonders in March 2023.
Davidson was driving his Mercedes-Benz at “100 miles per hour” through a Beverly Hills neighborhood when he struck a fire hydrant and crashed into a home’s garage, according to police records.
After learning that the charges against him had been dropped, Davidson addressed the accident. He explained that he didn’t notice a stop sign and chose to crash into the house rather than hitting a pedestrian he narrowly avoided.
“I saw the house and I was like, ‘I don’t think you could die if you hit a house.’ Usually in sitcoms they just go right through it,” he said, per the Daily Mail. “So, I swerved and I aimed for the house and I actually hit the garage pretty good. Even at my worst, I’m pretty f–king spot on.”
Davidson admitted he was “so scared” of potentially “going to jail.” “The cop came, he was all pissed because I drove into a structure,” he explained. “I was freaking out, and I had to calm myself down.”
