Coachella 2026 is officially over, but attendees and celebrities like Khloé Kardashian are still reflecting on this year’s festivities and the event as a whole.
During a recent episode of her podcast, the reality star dropped a bombshell story about how she believes she was “drugged” at her first and only Coachella in 2015. As she dropped the details of how she felt after drinking a mysterious beverage, she noted that it was so “scary” that it was enough to make her swear off the music festival for good, which is why she hasn’t attended it alongside her siblings since then.

Khloé Kardashian Claims She Was 'Drugged' At Coachella During Viral Podcast Episode
One of the world's famous music festivals is undoubtedly Coachella, the festival in Indio, California, that lasts two weekends and often books some of the biggest names in the music industry. Attendees travel from all over, spending lots of money on tickets and often camping out during the entire weekend.
However, Coachella has become especially famous for drawing a large crowd of celebrities of all callibers, from influencers to award-winning performers. Some of the most notorious attendees are the women of the Kardashian-Jenner family, who tend to start trends with their outfits for the festival and are always filmed and photographed in the crowd. Still, over the years, people have noticed that there's often one iconic member of the family missing - Khloé Kardashian.
In a recent episode of her popular podcast, Khloé In Wonder Land, the mom-of-two dropped an intense story about why she hasn't attended the festival since 2015, when she had a bad and "scary" experience after drinking something.
"Wasn't the best experience, I got drugged without me knowing, but I think everyone knew," she began, talking about how she drank "juice" someone gave her that made her feel quite off.
"I don't think anyone drugged me, 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," she added. "No one wants to feel like that."

It's not often you hear stories about the famous reality family having run-ins with drugs or bad experiences with drugs. They tend to keep those experiences a bit more private, mostly making light-hearted jokes about and filming their experiences of drinking together.
Therefore, this episode of the Good American founder's podcast quickly went viral, as she described the vulnerable and terrifying moment she had during the 2015 music festival.
"I just didn't realize what was happening until after it happened, like that I was on drugs," she continued. "Everyone was yelling at me because I wouldn't get out of the bathroom. I was in my head. I was so scared, so my experience was not good."
The bombshell story is why the 41-year-old has not returned to the festivities since, despite most of her family typically going to at least one set.
