Former "Saturday Night Live" star Pete Davidson found himself in another car accident just months after a peculiar incident in which he crashed his car into a Beverly Hills home.
The incident occurred in the late hours of Saturday evening as Davidson was leaving a stand-up comedy show in Los Angeles. Eyewitnesses reported a minor collision involving his vehicle and a wall, prompting concerns.
A report recently revealed that his "inner circle" is concerned about the state of his health and fear that his friends are "enabling him" and "not being honest with him," noting he could end up paying the ultimate price.
Pete Davidson Crashes Car Again
The "Bupkis" actor crashed his car again on Saturday while leaving a stand-up comedy show at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, Page Six reports.
Eyewitnesses shared that he scraped his car "against the side of a wall while exiting the venue" at around 10 PM, leaving the black GMC SUV he was driving disfigured with swipe marks.
In the aftermath of the incident, eyewitnesses also noted that people didn't know he was the one driving the SUV, with sources claiming bystanders yelled, "Oh s---, that was Pete!" when he got out of the car. He was in the company of four other unidentified passengers.
Davidson has faced scrutiny in recent months for his road mishaps. In a bizarre turn of events earlier this year, he made headlines when he accidentally crashed his car into a Beverly Hills home with his then-girlfriend, Chase Sui Wonders in the passenger's seat. Fortunately, no one was hurt in that incident either, and Davidson walked away with his signature wit intact.
Pete Davidson Was Ordered To Complete Community Service After Last Accident
Following his last car accident earlier this year, Davidson was ordered to complete 50 hours of community service after being charged with reckless driving.
The legal aftermath unfolded after his vehicle collided with a Beverly Hills home, leaving a teenager "traumatized."
Following the charges, Davidson entered an 18-month diversion program that'll see him avert any criminal record if he complies with certain conditions.
Among the stipulations, he is mandated to fulfill 50 hours of community service, participate in a 12-hour traffic school, and undergo educational sessions at a hospital or morgue to comprehend the potential consequences of reckless driving.
Additionally, he is required to pay restitution and was granted permission to carry out his community service hours at the New York City Fire Department—a poignant choice considering his late father's affiliation with the department. His father tragically lost his life in the 9/11 tragedy, an event that has profoundly impacted Davidson. The comedian has consistently been candid about how the loss shaped his life, contributing to struggles with depression and anxiety.
Concern Grows For Pete Davidson's Well-being
Close friends of the "King of Staten Island" star have reportedly voiced growing concerns about his well-being, expressing fears that he could be facing serious risks and end up paying with his life, per The U.S. Sun.
A source close to Davidson particularly slammed the people he surrounds himself with for "enabling him" and being dishonest with him.
"He came out of rehab and he immediately started talking about how he had taken ketamine to treat his depression and these people who are always around him didn't think that was a big deal," the insider cited an instance. "It wasn't a big deal until of course it blew up and became a problem for his fresh-out-of rehab image."
The source went on to express doubt about his maturity in handling the situation but still admonished him to pay attention to his health, adding, "If he doesn't start taking his issues seriously, he could wind up killing himself from drugs."
He Recently Discussed Ketamine Use Amid Heated Exchange With Fan
Known for his transparency about his mental health struggles, Davidson shared details about incorporating ketamine into his wellness journey for the past four years during a recent performance alongside comedy heavyweights John Mulaney and Jon Stewart.
However, the revelation coincided with a less favorable incident involving him and a fan, where he allegedly used offensive language, referring to the fan with a derogatory term.
"You're a c---. Sit the f--- down!" Davidson yelled at the fan, catching everyone at his show by surprise.
The incident occurred during a fan Q&A session, where Davidson faced an accusation of being "racist" after dropping a punchline involving home bedrooms. He joked about an interaction with his black realtor, who showcased various homes, during which he referred to one of the rooms as the "master bedroom."
In a playful banter, Davidson briefly entertained the notion of himself as "the master," only to be corrected by the realtor. The realtor explained that the term had been changed to "primary bedroom" due to its historical association with slavery.
