Darius Rucker Gives Update, Kate Quigley’s Reported Overdose

Darius Rucker has given an update about his ex-girlfriend Kate Quigley after her near-fatal drug overdose. 

Earlier this month, the comedian was hospitalized after a suspected group fentanyl overdose, where comedians Fuquan “Fu” Johnson and Enrico Colangeli, as well as friend Natalie Williamson — all died after allegedly using cocaine that had been laced with fentanyl at a party in Venice, California, PEOPLE reports.

At the iHeart Radio Music Festival in Las Vegas on Friday (Sept. 17), Rucker spoke about Quigley. The pair dated for the majority of 2020, according to PEOPLE. 

“You know, she’s doing great. She’s coming out of that. I’m glad that she’s doing that,” he said. “My heart goes out to all the other victims, but [Quigley] is doing okay.”
