Kate Quigley has come out the other side of a scary overdose incident that claimed 3 of her friends’ lives — and the first thing she’s doing as she continues to recover … honoring them.
The comedian — who was one of 4 people who apparently ingested a bad batch of coke last weekend — broke her silence Saturday on the passing of Fuquan Johnson, Rico Angeli and Natalie Williamson … all of whom suffered suspected ODs while partying in the Venice neighborhood of L.A.
Hi guys. Upon being released from the hospital, I’ve finally had the time & clarity to put my feelings on paper. Mean this from the bottom of my heart. ♥ pic.twitter.com/n6cPPPWNyU
Quigley was with them, of course, but miraculously survived the ordeal — and now, she’s remembering her late pals after a whirlwind week of overdoses affecting Hollywood.
She starts out by thanking everyone who reached out to her with words of encouragement as she healed in the hospital, while also giving a s/o to the docs, nurses and first-responders who treated her and, as she puts it, saved her life. Quigley has since been released.
KQ also writes, “I am still shocked & devastated by the loss of my friends Fu, Rico and Natalie. Words cannot describe the pain I am feeling & I will be changed forever by their passings. Fu was a generous, loving soul … Rico was always filled with enthusiasm & Natalie was so kind and endearing.” She says they all left a mark on her life, and she’ll miss them.
Quigley finishes by saying … “There are so many more things i want to say, but I’m not ready. When I am, I will. Until then, all I can say is: Tell your people that you love them everyday. Stay safe. And please don’t take this life for granted. I did, and I never will again.”
