Pete Davidson Says He Cooked His Own Ketamine, ‘Ate Pills Every Day’ at …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Pete Davidson has experienced numerous ups and downs over the course of his years in the spotlight.

These days, Davidson is a new dad with a slew of exciting movie and TV projects on the horizon.

But he didn’t always have so many reasons to be optimistic about his future, and in a new interview, he opened up about his darkest days.

In a wide-ranging conversation published by Variety on Wednesday, Pete revealed that at the height of his drug use, the situation was so bad that his mother was afraid she would “see on the news that something nad had happened.”

“It was K. I was getting liquid and cooking it,” he says, referring to the psychedelic drug ketamine.

“And I would do acid and shrooms and whippets and smoke weed all day and eat pills every day. It got scary because I didn’t feel high. I felt high when I wasn’t doing it, so I was like, this is a huge problem.”

Davidson added that he sought help after an emotional phone call in which his mother urged him to get clean.

“She told me her biggest fear was waking up one day to see on the news that something bad had happened to me,” recalls Davidson.

“I reached a point where I couldn’t do that to her anymore.”

These days, Pete has clearly turned a corner in his life and career.

While his relationship with Elsie Hewitt may have fizzled, insiders say the exes are dedicated to amicably co-parenting their daughter together.

Pete is about to star alongside Nicolas Hoult in the highly anticipated action thriller How to Rob a Bank. And he credits his new lease on life to his daughter.

Davidson says he’s sober these days, with the exception of “four beers a year.”

“I don’t f—k with drugs anymore. It’s been two or three years from doing really hard stuff and about a year or more from weed,” he explains, adding:

“Weirdly, the hardest thing to stop was weed. And now it’s easy because I have a kid. Anytime there’s ever a thought, I look at my phone background and go, ‘Oh yeah, no.’”

Davidson says he’d previously gone to rehab for the benefit of other people in his life, but this time, he got clean for the right reasons:

“It can’t be for anyone or for a job. You really have to want it, and when you’re done, you’re done,” he told Variety.

We’re sure his daughter will benefit from that effort for many years to come.

Gillio Lopes, Cornell Fraternity Member, Denies Sexual Assault Allegation

Reading Time: 2 minutes

If you’ve spent any time online this week, then you’ve no doubt heard about the horrific allegations coming out of Cornell University.

Now, a former student who has been accused of gang rape is speaking out through his attorney.

Gillio Lopes is one of seven former Chi Phi fraternity members named in a civil lawsuit filed by a former Cornell student, identified as Jane Doe, who alleges she was drugged and sexually assaulted inside the fraternity house in October 2024.

Lopes is pushing back on those allegations in a statement issued on Wednesday.

“Cornell previously investigated this matter and developed an extensive factual record,” attorney Tara J. Davis told TMZ.

“The allegations now being made publicly differ in significant respects from the accounts provided during that investigation and do not reflect the complete record,” Davis added.

Lopes’ legal team says those differences will become a central issue as the case moves forward.

“Those inconsistencies will be tested through discovery and addressed in the litigation,” Davis said.

Lopes’ attorney previously gave CBS News a similarly forceful statement, saying that her client “unequivocally denies the allegations against him” and emphasizing that accusations are not proof.

The allegations stem from an October 2024 incident at Cornell’s Chi Phi fraternity house. Jane Doe claims she was intoxicated and later given drugs before being sexually assaulted by multiple fraternity members.

She subsequently reported the incident to Cornell police.

Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten announced this week that his office is reopening its criminal investigation and plans to present the evidence to a grand jury. No criminal charges have been filed against Lopes or the other men at this time.

The DA has said that the account provided by Jane Doe in 2024 differed substantially from allegations contained in her more recent civil lawsuit. Specifically, Van Houten has said her original statement did not allege that she had been drugged against her will or gang raped.

At the same time, attorneys for Jane Doe have disputed that characterization and pointed to additional evidence, including interviews and messages that they say support her account.

Cornell has also confirmed that its own investigation resulted in disciplinary action against several of the accused students. According to the university, two were expelled and two others were suspended for at least two semesters. The Chi Phi chapter was also closed and remains barred from campus.

For now, Lopes remains adamant that he did not sexually assault the woman.

And with the criminal investigation now being revisited, his defense team appears prepared to challenge the allegations in court.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.
