Pete Davidson revealed in his Netflix special “Turbo Fonzarelli” released on January 9th that he suffered from drug-induced bulimia while attending Aretha Franklin's funeral.

According to TMZ, the famous comedian admitted to being high on ketamine while attending the legendary singer's funeral in 2018. Davidson joked About how upset Franklin would be if she were around to see how disrespectful he was at a solemn event. He joked that he went up to Franklin's family and yelled, “Hey!” I just came here to pay RESPEC-T! '' he joked about the reference to her iconic hit song, according to TMZ.

Davison's comedy special included a joke that Franklin was living under the influence of ketamine, unaware that he was behaving abnormally. If she had been able to weigh in, he jokes, she would have asked him “what the hell he was doing” at her funeral in the first place, and she would have wondered who he was. He suggested that he didn't even know.

The famous comedian explained that he was there with Ariana Grande, who he was engaged to at the time, but was only there as her plus one. TMZ continued that he had not yet reached the height of his fame at the time and was relatively unknown to many of those who attended his funeral.

After making light of the situation, Davidson admitted that she was embarrassed to go out in public while using ketamine, and explained that she had been using ketamine for about four years to treat depression. (Related: Report: Pete Davidson crashes his car again, second time in recent months)
