Pete Davidson is opening up about the drugs he used before he checked himself into a rehab facility three months ago. When the Bupkis star began undergoing treatment in June, Page Six reported he was being treated for PTSD and borderline personality disorder. In 2018, Davidson revealed that he had been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder after years of battling depression and anxiety. The disorder’s symptoms led him to check into rehab in 2016. At that time, he believed the mental breakdowns he was experiencing came from smoking cannabis.

Speaking to Variety in 2018, Davidson said he’d “been in and out of mental health facilities” since he was 9. He said the new medication he was on stabilized him after the “last few years have been real rough with me.” He added, “I took all these mental health classes and really spent a lot of time getting me good.”

During his recent comedy show tour alongside John Mulaney and Jon Stewart in Atlantic City over the weekend, Pete spoke about what sent him to rehab. According to the New York Post, he said he was using his cat’s ketamine. Per People, he told the audience he took the dissociative anesthetic daily for four years. “It was magical,” the 29-year-old said of his experience. “I am fresh out of rehab, everyone,” he added. “I got that post-rehab glow. Seventh time’s the charm!” Also in his set, Pete joked, “One time, I got The Wiggles to mesh with Schindler’s List,” People reported.

Though Ketamine is also used as a treatment for depression, a pain management tool, and a recreational drug, it isn’t FDA-approved for treating any psychiatric disorder. However, in 2019, the FDA approved the “S” form of the drug. This form is derived from ketamine as a nasal spray for “treatment-resistant depression in adults.” According to the DEA, ketamine has some hallucinogenic effects and “induce a state of sedation (feeling calm and relaxed), immobility, relief from pain, and amnesia (no memory of events while under the influence of the drug).”

Pete Davidson: Here Are The Famous Women Who He Has Dated

• Carly Aquilino

  Share

  Davidson's first public relationship began in 2015. The two comedians starred on MTV's 'Girl Code' and 'Guy Code,' so it is likely they met there. Though it's been 7 years, they appear to be on good terms, as Aquilino made an appearance on Davidson's 'The King of Staten Island.'

• Cazzie David

  Share

  Pete began dating comedy legend Larry David's daughter Cazzie from 2016-2018. He broke up with her via text message, which she says devastated her in her book, 'No One Asked For This.'

• Ariana Grande

  Share

  Though the couple only dated for five months in 2018, they were both coming off of big breakups (Grande was with the late Mac Miller from 2016-2018). The pair fell fast and hard, announcing their engagement after 24 days of dating. The singer pretty much coined the term "BDE" when she was talking about Pete's member on Twitter at the time, which has since been deleted. Her tweet, that is.
• Kate Beckinsale

  Share

  Pete dated the actress, who's 20 years his senior, for a couple of months in 2019. They hilariously made out at a Rangers game next to a visibly uncomfortable Antoni Porowski ('Queer Eye').

• Margaret Qualley

  Share

  The 'Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood' actress and Pete dated in August of 2019 and before the leaves could change, broke up two months later in October.

• Kaia Gerber

  Share

  Davidson, who was 26 at the time, dated the 18-year-old model for a few months from October 2019 to December of that same year. He cited the fact that she was "very young" and that he was "f---ing going through a lot" before he went to rehab.
• Phoebe Dynevor

  Share

  At the peak of her success with 'Bridgerton' in March 2021, the actress and Pete got together for a few months, this time for five months, splitting in August.

• Kim Kardashian

  Share

  Of all of Pete's relationships, the one with Kim K is something no one saw coming. Pete was the first guy she publicly dated following her split from Kanye West, and their relationship lasted longer than anyone would have thought -- ending after nine months, the couple announced their split in August 2022.

• Emily Ratajkowski

  Share

  Pete's relationship with the model began in November, though there has been speculation that the two have been talking for months. They called it quits after two months.
• Chase Sui Wonders

  Share

  The pair met in 2021 while working on 'Bodies Bodies Bodies.' In December 2022, they were seen attending a New York Rangers game with their fellow 'Bodies Bodies Bodies' co-star Rachel Sennott, but at that time Pete was linked to Ratajkowski. Following his split from the model, Davidson started spending more time with Wonders on dates and vacationing together.
