Yesterday, SNL star Pete Davidson posted on Instagram:
Just wanted to let you guys know I’m okay. I know I’ve kinda been missing, on social media and on the show. I quit drugs and am happy and sober for the first time in 8 years. It wasn’t easy, but I got a great girl, great friends and I consider myself a lucky man. I’ll always be here for you guys, I promise. Remember to never give up hope because sometimes that’s all we got. We are a family and I appreciate all your love and support. It’s nice to be back in action.
Davidson (whose firefighter father died in 9/11) is dating Cazzie David (the daughter of Larry David)(see below).
From Jezebel:
Davidson has been open about his use of marijuana to treat the symptoms of Crohn’s disease, which he was diagnosed with in his late teens. In an interview with High Times in 2016, Davidson discussed how the drug makes it possible for him to function, saying, “I wouldn’t be able to perform on SNL if I couldn’t smoke weed!”
Kind of suspect this was Lorne Michaels’-mandated, but wishing him all the best. SNL isn’t the same without him! (Photo: Pacific Coast News)
