Hectic: The comedian and actor had been through a tough time in his personal life, including the scary car accident in Beverly Hills, while maintaining a busy schedule shooting commercials, several movies and starting a new romance with Chase Sui Wonders, 27.

He has also just settled his legal issues related to that frightening accident in Beverly Hills, which led to him being charged with a misdemeanor reckless driving.

Police say Davidson was driving a Mercedes, with Wonders in the passenger seat, in March when he lost control of the car, jumped the curb, pulled out a fire hydrant, then slammed into it the side of a house.

Investigators did not suspect drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash, so he was not arrested.

A judge orders him to undergo a diversion program, requiring him to perform 50 hours of community service, which would erase the incident from his record if he complies with the warrants.

Then there’s this incident with PETA about a puppy he recently bought for his mother, which caused him to apologize for his actions.

The organization’s senior vice president of cruelty investigations, Daphna Nachminovitch, publicly criticized Davidson’s decision to purchase the pup from a pet store rather than adopt it from a shelter.

More drama: Davidson apologized after leaving a messy voicemail message to PETA, where he shouted ‘f*** you, suck my d***’ after the organization slammed him for buying a puppy in a pet store instead of adopting from a shelter animal; the comedian claimed he had to adopt a specific breed because he was ‘severely allergic to dogs’

In response, the King of Staten Island star left him a phone message, in which he explained how severely allergic he was to most other breeds of dogs, but then told Nachminovitc, “Fuck you. and suck my dick.”

In the end, Davidson issued an apology for his rude voicemail rant.

The comic has had several stints at rehab centers over the years, including one in 2017 and another in 2019, when he checked into the Sierra Tucson Treatment Center in Tucson, Arizona.

And at the end of 2018, he also had family, friends and even fans worried when he shared suicidal thoughts online, leading the New York Police Department to do a medical checkup on him. .

At this point, Davison has not publicly announced if he will be booking any more stand-up shows in the near future.
