We're learning new details about former Day26 member Brian "Que" Andrews' experience during a night that he claims altered his life irreparably. Appearing on the podcast "Amy Robach +" with TJ Holmes, Que shared a traumatic experience at Sean "Diddy" Combs' Hamptons home, a night that he came to see as potentially far more nefarious than just a bad trip.
But what began as an innocuous evening with friends took a horrifying turn for the worse when he says he unwittingly ingested a red pill from singer Dawn Richard, his girlfriend and fellow Making the Band alum. He reportedly said the pill was ecstasy and that it had come straight from Diddy. He took it and then woke up 20 minutes later, passed out in an unknown location.
"When I woke up, I was in the basement, in Diddy's twin daughter's room," Que said, adding that he was confused, yelling and wearing nothing but basketball shorts. "They were laughing while I woke out of my sleep screaming," he said, sketching a scene of confusion and terror.
Que said it wasn't even a thrill, but was that horse tranquilizer at all? "I am fully responsible for what I put in my body, and I should have been more responsible," he wrote, "but let me be clear: I consumed it believing it was nothing more than a high-quality vitamin."
Afterward, he explained that he had woken up in a part of the house he was unfamiliar with, with no memory of getting there, and that the experience had mentally and emotionally shattered him. "My body was in shock, my mind going in a million different directions. The terror of that revelation that I had been drugged with something far more substantial than I had been told just broke me.
Que told the crowd that the event had tormented him for years, generating paranoia, anxiety, and long-term memory problems. Plus, he was suspicious of the fact that Richard never took the second pill, which he reveals "made it feel more like an experiment and less like a shared experience."
Richard, for his part, has flatly denied the allegations. "I am going to be clear: I did not drug anyone," he said. "Nothing could be further from the truth."
Moreover, he questioned the soundness of Que's accusations, noting that their relationship sustained over time after that incident. "If that were indeed the belief, it would have been inconsistent with your subsequent actions in doing things like having me over for dinner or bringing me around your younger sisters, your family."
Though the truth, such as it is, is surely buried under conflicting memories and feelings, Que's account does provide another impossibly personal and chilling piece in the puzzle of controversy that has swirled around Diddy's inner sanctums for years. As more of these stories emerge, the silence is broken, and some very dark chapters are aired in the light of day.
