Khloé Kardashian is opening up about a frightening experience she says happened during one of her trips to Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. During the latest episode of her podcast, “Khloé in Wonderland,” the reality star recalled attending the famous music festival years ago and revealed it left her deeply shaken.
Kardashian explained that she only attended Coachella once, estimating the trip happened around 2016. “I’ve gone once. It was many moons ago. I feel like 2016, or something like that,” she shared. “Wasn’t the best experience. I got drugged without me knowing, but I think everyone knew.”
The Good American co-founder clarified that she doesn’t believe anyone intentionally targeted her, but now suspects she unknowingly consumed a drink containing drugs at a party in the desert. “I don’t think anyone, like, drugged me,” she explained. “I just think I was the dumb one and didn’t realize that everyone was on drugs, and I remember drinking this drink and just feeling really crazy.”
Kardashian Recalls Hiding In Bathroom ‘For Hours’
As the substances kicked in, Kardashian said she became overwhelmed and confused, eventually locking herself inside a bathroom for hours. “No one wants to feel like that and not know why they’re like that,” she said. “I just didn’t realize what was happening until after it happened, like, that I was on drugs and everyone was yelling at me because I wouldn’t get out of the bathroom.”
The experience left her terrified. “But I got scared. I was in my head,” Kardashian admitted. “I was so scared, so my experience was not good.”
Khloé Kardashian Recently Admitted She Had ‘FOMO’ Over Coachella
Interestingly, despite her negative past experience at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Khloé Kardashian recently revealed she almost considered returning to the desert this year. During a previous episode of “Khloé in Wonderland,” Kardashian told guest Kris Jenner that she experienced unexpected “FOMO” over missing the festival, particularly because all of her sisters attended.
“The first weekend was True’s birthday weekend,” she explained on the April 29 episode. “It’s probably the first year ever I’ve had FOMO from Coachella, because I genuinely couldn’t care less, but I’ve never had any Coachella where all [my] sisters are there. I was the only one not there.”
While Khloé stayed back in Los Angeles, sisters Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner were all spotted attending festival events and parties throughout the weekend. Khloé did admit she had considered making the trip partly to catch Justin Bieber’s headline-making performance.
Kardashian Also Reflected On Her DUI Arrest
Elsewhere in the podcast episode, Kardashian also revisited her 2007 DUI arrest, admitting that at the time, she didn’t fully understand how serious the situation was. “I didn’t know I was going to go to jail because of that, ’cause it was my very first offense,” she explained.
Kardashian went on to describe some of the more surreal details of her time behind bars, recalling what she wore the night she was taken into custody and how out of place she felt in the holding cell. “But I was in a very short dress, so I looked questionable, I imagine,” she recalled. She also “never used the restroom, not one time,” during the hours she spent in the holding cell, she said. “And that still fascinates me.”
The reality star recalled being shocked when she was taken into custody and having to spend the weekend in jail because her release couldn’t be processed until Monday. “They can’t process you until a weekday, so I was in a holding cell with 23 other women, who were all prostitutes, besides me,” she said. “But I was in a very short dress, so I looked questionable, I imagine.”
The following year, Kardashian briefly returned to jail after violating her probation.
Khloé Kardashian Laughs About Famous Mugshot Years Later
Khloé Kardashian also revisited one of the most iconic moments from her legal troubles, her now-famous mugshot. The reality star confirmed that her best friend, Malika Haqq, was the one responsible for styling her hair before she turned herself in. “Malika did do my hair,” Kardashian revealed with a laugh. “She did a good job.”
Khloé explained that the mugshot was taken when she surrendered herself to serve a 30-day jail sentence after violating probation tied to her DUI case. “I had to turn myself in, because I had to serve 30 days in jail,” she said, later clarifying that she did not end up serving the full sentence. “That was much scarier, because thinking I was gonna spend 30 days in jail wasn’t anything I thought about [before].”
