Pete Davidson Makes First Red Carpet Appearance After Debunking Rehab Rumors

Pete Davidson returned to the red carpet on Monday after rumors emerged that he had checked into rehab for the second time this year.

The comedian has endured a difficult time of late and took measures to address his mental health by checking into a wellness facility in July.

In November, rumors emerged that Pete returned to rehab, though he later shut them down, and his recent red carpet appearance further proves he is doing okay.

The "Saturday Night Live" alum attended the Broadway opening of Simon Rich's "All In: Comedy About Love," costarring his friend and fellow "SNL" alum John Mulaney.

The event marked Pete's first red carpet appearance in a year and a half, and he rocked a casual look.

The 31-year-old wore a brown leather jacket, which he paired with a black T-shirt, black pants, and cream-colored sneakers.

Pete was at the event to support his friend, Mulaney, and took photographs with him too.

An insider revealed to Page Six that the "King of Staten Island" actor didn't attend the event alone but went with his mom, Amy Waters Davidson, and sister, Casey Davidson.

Pete's red carpet appearance in over a year comes a month after reports revealed he checked into rehab for the second time this year.

A source revealed that Pete flew into rehab in Florida on a private jet, though the exact date he checked in wasn't confirmed.

The insider told US Sun, "He [Pete] is in pretty bad shape this time around. He's not in a good place."

The source also shared that Pete ended his rumored relationship with "Bachelor" alum Maria Georgas just before checking into the facility.

Not long after reports of Pete checking into rehab emerged, he shut them down when he appeared at an NBA game alongside his mom, Amy.

"The Suicide Squad" star was present when the Brooklyn Nets defeated the Charlotte Hornets 116 to 115 in the Emirates NBA Cup on Tuesday, November 19.

Pete, who wore a brown Lehigh Athletics sweatshirt, white beanie, and jeans, looked healthy and in high spirits during the game.

Initial reports claimed that Pete checked into rehab for a second time this year after breaking up with Georgas.

However, the reality TV star set the record straight on their rumored relationship via a post on her Instagram Stories.

Georgas said she and Pete didn't have a romantic history, writing, "Never dated Pete. False rumor. I'm friends with his sister. Case Closed."

"The Pacifier" actress also shut down rumors that Pete Davidson was in rehab, sharing that she spoke to his sister and confirmed that the comedian had been sober for months.

Georgas also wrote, "Can't believe this s—t it's very insulting to his recovery and my mental health. He's literally home."

Pete has never shied away from discussing his mental health struggles publicly and revealed his borderline personality disorder diagnosis in 2017 during an appearance on Marc Maron's "WTF" podcast.

The comedian detailed what led to the diagnosis and his time in rehab in 2016, sharing that he experienced extreme mood swings, which he thought were due to his regular use of marijuana. In 2022, Pete was subjected to intense online bullying from Kanye West due to his relationship with the rapper's ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, and sought further trauma therapy to deal with the situation.

Most recently, Pete checked into a rehab facility in July, bidding to focus on his health after a ridiculously busy schedule with several live stand-up shows and film projects. His family and friends supported him, and they were proud that he chose to take his health and well-being seriously.

The Blast reported that Pete's pals begged him to return to his blue-collar roots in Staten Island because "life in the Hollywood fast lane continues to chew him up and spit him out," which wasn't healthy for someone with his problems.

An insider shared that the actor's friends were worried about how the Hollywood pressure was impacting him and claimed his high-profile circle might be using him for clout.
