Khloé Kardashian said she was drugged without her knowledge during a party at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival [1].
The revelation highlights the ongoing safety concerns regarding substance administration at large-scale music festivals and high-profile social events. This disclosure comes years after the event, illustrating the long-term psychological impact of such experiences on public figures.
Kardashian shared the details during the May 6, 2026, episode of her podcast, "Khloé in Wonder Land" [2]. She said that the incident occurred during her only visit to the desert festival in Indio, California [1]. While she noted the timing was "many moons ago," she identified the year as 2016 [3].
"I’ve gone once. It was many moons ago. I feel like 2016 or something like that. It wasn’t the best experience. I got drugged without me know," Kardashian said [4].
The reality star, who is 41 years old [5], described the experience as accidental and noted that the drug was administered without her consent [1]. She said, "I was so scared" [6].
According to Kardashian, the event occurred at a party associated with the festival [1]. She said that she was accidentally drugged back in 2016 [3]. Because of this experience, she has not returned to the event since that single visit [4].
“"I got drugged without me know,"”
This disclosure underscores the vulnerability of attendees at major festivals, where crowded environments and party atmospheres can facilitate the non-consensual administration of substances. By sharing a decade-old experience, Kardashian brings attention to the lack of security and oversight at exclusive festival events, potentially prompting a broader conversation about attendee safety and the delayed processing of trauma.
