Kylie is being refreshingly candid and self-deprecating about a relatable mishap, proving she's not afraid to be vulnerable with her audience and own her mistakes publicly.
Sources say Kylie's mushroom misadventure isn't sitting well with Kris Jenner, who prefers her daughters keep their recreational experiments far from public events—let alone podcast confessions.
Kylie took shrooms before Stassi's event and 'couldn't stop crying,' she admitted on the May 2, 2026 episode of 'Better Half.' She later turned down mushrooms at Coachella last month, explaining, 'Maybe I'll get really emotional and start crying.'
Kylie Jenner just handed her critics a gift—complete with timestamps. The woman who built an empire on curated perfection voluntarily revealed she cried off $400 worth of makeup because she couldn't handle her shrooms. That's either radical honesty or a calculated pivot to seem more relatable. Either way, we're here for it.
Kylie Jenner is finally spilling the psychedelic tea—and it's messy. The beauty mogul confessed on Friday's episode of the "Better Half" podcast that she once took magic mushrooms before attending an event for her close friend Anastasia "Stassie" Karanikolaou, and the experience left her absolutely wrecked. "Do you remember?" Jenner asked co-hosts Victoria Villarroel and Stassi during the episode, per Page Six.
"It was, like, a party. I came and couldn't stop crying. I was laughing-crying because someone came to ask me a question, and I thought it was really funny." The 28-year-old reality star didn't specify exactly when this shroom-fueled disaster went down, but she provided enough vivid details that listeners won't soon forget them.
According to Jenner, the mushrooms hit harder than anticipated, sending her into an emotional spiral that completely ruined her makeup in the process. "I couldn't stop laughing and cried off all my makeup," she explained, clearly mortified as she recounted the humiliation in real-time for thousands of listeners. The situation escalated when she looked in the bathroom mirror and saw something she clearly wasn't expecting.
"I went to the bathroom and I looked like the most craziest version of myself," Jenner admitted with zero filter. "I had to go home." Apparently, that public meltdown taught her a valuable lesson—or at least made her think twice before dabbling in public settings again. When someone recently offered Kylie mushrooms at Coachella last month, she shut it down hard.
"I'm like, I just don't know if I want to be shrooming in public," she explained while getting ready for the music festival. "Maybe I'll get really emotional and start crying. Why do I want to cry tonight?" The callback to her previous breakdown suggests this wasn't a distant memory for Jenner—it clearly still haunts her enough that she's actively avoiding similar situations.
This isn't Jenner's first rodeo with mind-altering substances, though. She's been open about her marijuana use in the past, and during an October 2025 episode of "The Kardashians," sister Kendall revealed Kylie actually experimented with weed before she did. "I was so mad at her.
I was like, 'You're a degenerate!'" Kendall, 30, recalled on that confessional, noting she didn't have "as much of a free spirit" as her younger sibling at the time. The model eventually caught up to Kylie and became what she calls a self-proclaimed "stoner." Jenner even clarified during the recent podcast appearance that she was definitely not high when recording Kid Cudi's "Big Bro" podcast in April 2026—you heard it here first, apparently.
