Pete Davidson says he was high on ketamine when he attendedAretha Franklin’s funeral in 2018 with his then-fiancée Ariana Grande.
He made the claims in his new Netflix comedy special Turbo Fonzarelli.
Pete says he would take the drug to treat depression. “I’m embarrassed I was out and about like that. That’s not cool,” he said.
“I was so high I thought it’d be a good idea to go up to her family and go, ‘Hey! I’m just here to pay my R-E-S-P-E-C-Ts,” he said.
"I have to live with that."

The comedian added that he doesn’t think the late singer would have even known who he was.
l“’Hey! Who are you and what the f-ck are you doing at my funeral?’” he joked. “It’s embarrassing.”
Pete entered in-patient therapy at a treatment center this summer to address issues related to post-traumatic stress disorder and borderline personality disorder last summer.
“Pete will often check himself into rehab to work on these issues,” a source close to Davidson told PEOPLE. “His friends and family have been supportive during this time.”
