Bachelor alum Maria Georgas has shut down reports that Pete Davidson is currently in rehab.
The reality star took to her Instagram Story on Tuesday (November 19) to address speculation about Davidson’s sobriety after The Sun reported that the comedian was receiving treatment amid his struggles with his mental health.
“Just spoke to his sister, he’s not in rehab and has been sober for months,” she wrote.
Georgas – who was a fan-favorite in Joey Graziadei’s season of The Bachelor – added: “Can’t believe this s*** it’s very insulting to his recovery and my mental health. He’s literally home.”
The Independent has contacted a representative for Davidson for comment.
She also denied reports that they were in a relationship.
“Never dated Pete. False rumor! I’m friends with his sister. Case closed,” she wrote on Instagram.
The rumors about Georgas and Davidson came four months after the actor reportedly split from Madelyn Cline, who he was romantically linked to in July 2023. He was in many public relationships before that, including with Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, Kaia Gerber, and Phoebe Dynevor.
In August, there were also reports that Davison checked into a rehabilitation center. Davidson received treatment in 2023 for his previously diagnosed borderline personality disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
During a comedy show with Jon Stewart and John Mulaney in New Jersey in September 2023, he addressed his time in rehab. “I am fresh out of rehab, everyone,” he told the crowd at the time. “I got that post-rehab glow. Seventh time’s the charm!”
He confirmed a previous stint in rehab in February 2020 and said in an interview with Howard Stern that he went to rehab in 2016 because “there was no way I could stop” using drugs.
“I was like, somebody has to put me in a house where there is literally nothing,” he told Stern in 2018. “I had too much access.”
During the one-hour Netflix special Turbo Fonzerelli, which aired in January, Davidson also revealed that when he was at Aretha Franklin’s funeral in 2018, he was high on ketamine.
“I was on a drug for the past two and half, three years called Ketamine. What a time,” he said in the special.
“It’s embarrassing when you’re not on ketamine anymore, though… I’m embarrassed,” he continued. “I was out and about like that. That’s not cool, you know? I was at funerals like that. That’s f**** up, right? I was at Aretha Franklin’s funeral like that. Yeah, I have to live with that. You know what I mean? She’ll never know, but still, that’s not the point. You know what I mean?”
When Davidson attended the singer’s funeral at Detroit’s Greater Grace Temple in August 2018, he arrived alongside his now ex-fiancée singer Ariana Grande, who performed a song at the service.
