Former Day26 member Que said he blacked out after taking a red pill allegedly handed to him by Dawn Richard and claimed he feared Sean “Diddy” Combs was trying to “sacrifice” him during a disturbing night at the music mogul’s Hamptons estate.
Que detailed the harrowing experience during an appearance on “Amy Robach and TJ Holmes Presents: Aubrey O’Day, Covering the Diddy Trial,” where he described waking up disoriented and screaming in a basement bedroom after accepting a pill he believed was ecstasy.
“Within 20 minutes, I had knocked out. I blacked out,” Que said, explaining that Richard told him the pill came from Diddy and that he trusted her because they had taken ecstasy together in the past.
Que said he regained consciousness in the bedroom of Diddy’s twin daughters, wearing only basketball shorts and surrounded by people filming him.
“I woke up out of my sleep screaming, very, very loud,” he said. “They were laughing as I woke up out of my sleep screaming.”
He remembered jumping into the pool at some point and described the entire episode as deeply unsettling.
“It felt very sacrificial. That’s what I meant when I said I felt like they were trying to hurt me, or Diddy was trying to maybe sacrifice me that night,” he said. “I thought they were trying to hurt me. It felt like someone was trying to hurt me or take me out.”
Que Claims He Suffered Long-Term Psychological Effects Following Experience At Diddy’s Mansion
After the podcast aired, Que released a more detailed statement, saying the pill was not ecstasy but a horse tranquilizer. He claimed Richard gave it to him and said it was from her boss, Diddy.
“I take full accountability for what I allowed into my life—because in the end, I had a choice. But let me be candid: I genuinely believed I was taking something I’d tried before. It wasn’t ecstasy. It turned out to be a horse tranquilizer—given to me by my ex girlfriend, who claimed it was from her boss to give me,” Que wrote.
He said he collapsed within 20 minutes of taking the pill. According to Que, he woke up in a different part of the house with no memory of how he got there.
“I emerged from a deep, paralyzing sleep, screaming and sobbing, he added. “My body in shock, my mind spinning in confusion. The horror of realizing I’d been drugged with something far more potent than I was led to believe shattered me.”
Que said the experience left him with long-term psychological effects, including paranoia, memory loss and anxiety. “The pill had broken me—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually,” he said.
He also pointed out that Richard never took the second pill, which he said made the situation feel more like an experiment than a shared experience.
Richard has denied all allegations. “I want to be unequivocally clear: I have never drugged anyone,” she said in a public statement. Nor have I ever given anyone pills to take.”
She added that Que’s claims are inconsistent with his actions during and after their relationship.
“The suggestion that I did so is categorically false,” she added. “If such a belief were genuine, it would be inconsistent with the actions that followed—such as inviting me into your home, introducing me to your younger sisters and family, and continuing a relationship with me.”
Richard said she chose not to speak publicly about their relationship out of respect for Que and his family but felt compelled to respond now.
