Pete Davidson Reveals He Was High On Ketamine At Aretha Franklin’s Funeral: ‘It’s Embarrassing’

Pete Davidson Opens Up About Using Ketamine

The King of Staten Island star, now 30, opened up about his past ketamine addiction in the Netflix special. Turbo Fonzarelli is the SNL alum's second hour-long special on Netflix, following his 2020 debut: Pete Davidson: Alive in New York.

"It's embarrassing when you're not on ketamine anymore, though… I'm embarrassed," he confessed. "I was out and about like that. That's not cool, you know?"

Kim Kardashian's ex went on to discuss what led to him wanting to battle his addiction, adding: "I had to stop doing hard drugs because [you] can't be a drug addict in your 30s. Doing drugs in your 20s is fine. It's like an excuse. You're like: 'I'm finding myself.' It's cute, you know?"

Fan Reactions

The internet had a lot of thoughts about Davidson's confession about the funeral, with one fan writing on a Netflix post on X: "Was about to ask why Pete would have been at Aretha's funeral, but I forgot who he was dating at that time."

Another X user wrote: "Drug addictions are the most unfunny of all subjects, huge fail (again.)" "Just watched the whole thing I thought it was pretty funny. Some jokes he openly admits to feeling bad about & that he has to live with it & the honesty was awesome," wrote one supportive fan, followed by the hand praising emoji and the hand clapping emoji.
