Comedian Kate Quigley has hit out at ex-boyfriend Darius Rucker, after the musician commented on her nearly-fatal overdose which also saw three of her friends killed.
Rucker on Friday gave an update regarding Quigley's health, but made clear that he had no affiliation with his ex-girlfriend's accidental overdose on September 4 when Quigley took fentanyl-laced cocaine at a home near Venice Beach.
Fellow comedians Fuquan Johnson, 42 and Enrico Colangeli, 48, along with friend Natalie Williamson, 33, all died as a result of taking the drugs.
'You know, she's doing great. She's coming out of that,' Rucker told People before his performance at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas on Friday.
'I'm glad that she's doing that.' He later added that his 'heart goes out to all the other victims, but Quigley is doing okay.'
Quigley, 39, and Rucker, 55, dated back in 2020.
However, Quigley snapped back over the weekend, saying that Rucker had never called to check up on her since the incident.

Quigley was seen out in Los Angeles for the first time on September 15th since the night of the overdose, which left her hospitalized and killed three of her friends at a house party.
The 39-year-old, wearing a face mask, David Bowie T-shirt and short denim cutoffs, was spotted parking her convertible at a Floyd's 99 barbershop near Venice Beach on Tuesday.
Quigley reportedly spent just five minutes chatting inside before heading back home.
It was the first time the stand-up comedian was seen in public after the fateful September 4 gathering that killed fellow comedians Fuquan Johnson, 42 and Enrico Colangeli, 48, along with friend Natalie Williamson, 33, at a home near Venice Beach.
The group was allegedly using cocaine that may have been laced with fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid and painkiller 80 to 100 times stronger than morphine.
Only Quigley could be saved by first responders when they found her unresponsive at her home in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Venice the next morning, near the barbershop she visited Tuesday. She was taken to the hospital in critical condition.

She spent a week in the hospital and took to Twitter to update fans on her recovery on September 12th, saying: 'I am better every day. Im sore.'
She added that she was watching the Los Angeles Rams' kickoff game, and wished she was attending the game at SoFi stadium.
'I wish i was at SoFi!!! I was going to break from social, but honestly I'm in a great mood today. I'm so excited about the kickoff game & I've decided that life must go on. No use in not living when I am lucky enough to be alive!!'
She also tweeted a raunchy picture of herself topless while holding a football, to show her support for the three-time NFL champions owned by Stan Kroenke.
The day before, she posted a message saying she was 'shocked & devastated' by the loss of her three friends.
'I feel overwhelmed by the outpouring of kind messages and am incredibly grateful to be surrounded by a strong community of friends, family, colleagues, and fans who have offered their support during this time; and to the team of paramedics, nurses, and doctors who saved my life,' she wrote on September 11.
