Pete Davidson has checked into rehab after struggling with borderline personality disorder and PTSD — two weeks after he was arrested for reckless driving.
The 29-year-old has been open about his mental health ever since he was diagnosed with a personality disorderin 2017 after years of experiencing bouts of depression and anxiety.
According to PageSix, the former SNL star is receiving in-patient therapy in a Pennsylvania facility.
A source said: “Pete regularly goes to rehab for ‘tune-ups’ and to take a mental break, so that’s what’s happening.”
An insider told People: “Pete will often check himself into rehab to work on these issues. His friends and family have been supportive during this time.”
They added that the star “should be getting out pretty soon”.
The Standard has reached out to Davidson’s rep for comment.
News of his treatment comes as he was charged with reckless driving three months after crashing into a Beverly Hills home.
The King of Staten Island actor was with actress girlfriend Chase Sui Wonders, 27, when his Mercedes hit the house in March.
No one was seriously injured but the car flattened a fire hydrant before crashing through the homeowner’s living room. The property had be demolished.
“We believe that Mr Davidson engaged in reckless driving, which ultimately resulted in his involvement in a serious collision into a home,” the DA’s office said in a statement.
“In 2022, traffic fatalities in Los Angeles have reached the highest levels seen in 20 years. This is an alarming trend that we cannot ignore.
“As a result, it’s crucial that we take all allegations of reckless driving seriously and hold those responsible accountable.”
Davidson is due to appear in court over the incident on July 27.
As well as SNL, the comedian is also known for his appearances in films including Bodies Bodies Bodies, The Suicide Squad, and Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts.
