Pete Davidson has to do 50 hours of community service
Pete Davidson will reportedly do his community service with the New York Fire Department following a reckless driving charge
Aux News Pete Davidson
Consider Pete Davidson’s wrist slapped. The comedian and renowned man-about-town has been ordered to do community service after being charged with reckless driving. In March, Davidson reportedly crashed into a fire hydrant and a Beverly Hills home with his Mercedes while his girlfriend and Bodies Bodies Bodies co-star Chase Sui Wonders rode in the passenger seat. No one was injured in the crash.
According to CNN, A Los Angeles County Superior judge has ordered Davidson to complete an 18-month diversion program as a result of the reckless driving charge. That includes 50 hours of community service, which he’ll be able to fulfill in his home state of New York. Per the outlet, his counsel has indicated that Davidson will complete his service with the New York Fire Department. (The actor’s father was a firefighter and died in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attack.) In addition, Davidson is required to pay restitution, do 12 hours of traffic school, and complete a Hospital and Morgue program or the New York equivalent, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County District Attorney told CNN.
In the wake of the reckless driving charge in June, Davidson reportedly checked himself into a rehabilitation facility for issues relating to PTSD and his diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. A source told People that the SNL alum “will often check himself into rehab to work on these issues” and expected that he “should be getting out pretty soon.”
Davidson’s recent months have been an interesting case of life imitating art, as both rehab and reckless driving were covered in the first season of his new Peacock comedy Bupkis. Perhaps it’s more accurate to say that the art was imitating life in this instance, since Bupkis is semi-autobiographical and Davidson stars as a fictionalized version of himself. (Davidson’s real-life girlfriend Wonders even stars as his on-screen girlfriend in the show, though she plays a fictional character and not a version of herself.) In any case, it’s possible we’ll see some version of the repercussions on screen when Bupkis eventually returns for a second season.

I want to root for this guy but he makes it incredibly difficult to do so.
‘’ Per the outlet, his counsel has indicated that Davidson will complete his service with the New York Fire Department ‘’
We can safely assume that these 50 hours will be spent chillaxing with firefighters not doing much, as per his dad’s story.
Wait just a minute! You’re saying Chase Sui Wonders is his girlfriend now?
But you said in the first paragraph that she was his girlfriend in March! Something doesn’t add up…
Can’t he argue “time served” for this stint with Kim Kardashian?

You. You’re good. I like the cut of your jib.
What’s a jib?
A jib is a triangular headsail that stretches from the outer end of the jib-boom to the fore topmast head in large ships, and from the bowsprit to the masthead in smaller craft. I imagine that makes everything perfectly clear, doesn’t it?
Now go after Ike fucking Barinholtz and Josh Gad.
Can you be more specific? I couldn’t find anything on either actor.
I understand Gad is generally loathed here, although I thought he was perfect on Party Down. What’s your beef with Barinholtz? He did some funny red carpet interviews on Mad TV and I liked his turn on Southbound and Down. His Statham but on HDTGM was hilarious. Also, I thought he was generally beloved by his peers and the AV Club.
What did Ike fucking Barinholtz do?
Exist!
Fair enough
50 hours community service honestly seems like a bit more than a slap on the wrist for a reckless driving charge. The max fine in New York for a first offense is $300.
I don’t think this is a wrist slap sentence. Restitution and community service are fair, and the course work he has to complete is reasonable. Davidson has mental health issues. He is open about his issues. He works on them. I wish him well.
He is so gonna OD when he’s not famous anymore.
PTSD doesn’t make you crash your car and enter rehab, drugs and booze do.
