Kate Quigley Claimed To Be ‘Turned Off’ From Cocaine Before Overdose

“I did start microdosing mushrooms during this whole period. Holy sh*t that has helped me so much with everything, anxiety, depression, everything,” she said.

She explained that the effects aren’t too drastic, but that she feels a lot better after taking the drug. “I get so much less stressed out than I used to. It really makes me happier. And it’s just the babiest little bite. I don’t feel high but I’m happier.”

She continued, “I’ve had the capsules but I just break a little piece off and eat it once or twice a day. It’s so small, that’s it.”

She also explained in the interview that the lack of parties during COVID-19 along with the loneliness of quarantine “really turned me off” cocaine.

Days later on Friday, September 3, Quigley was at a party in Venice Beach, Calif., when she overdosed on fentanyl-laced cocaine that left three of her friends dead.

Stand-up comedian Fuquan Johnson, 42, along with Natalie Williamson, 33, and Enrico Colangeli, 48, were found dead at the home, and police suspected that the group had overdosed on a dirty batch of coke.

She tweeted on Wednesday, September 8 to let her fans know that she was on the mend after the tragic accident. “I’m gonna be ok. Still in hospital, recovering slowly,” she wrote. “♥ Thanks so much to everyone who has reached out!!! It really has made a difference. Truly.”

The shutdown across the country meant that Quigley had no work, and she ended up resorting to stealing food from CVS.

“I was stealing ice cream. I was stealing food from CVS,” she confessed.

“I mean you have a mask, hat, sunglasses. I mean really you could rob anywhere. I didn’t rob anywhere, but just ice cream I took. And popcorn, a little popcorn,” she admitted.
