Maria, who clarified that she has never dated Pete, shared that she is close friends with his sister, Casey. She revealed that she received a direct message from Casey, confirming that Pete is not in rehab and has actually been sober for several months.
Expressing her frustration, Maria stated, "It's very insulting to his recovery and my mental health. He's literally home." Pete has been open about his mental health battles, including his borderline personality disorder diagnosis, and has sought treatment in the past. Despite some challenges, such as his continued use of marijuana, Pete has maintained sobriety from drugs like cocaine and ketamine.
