Kylie Jenner is sharing one of her most unexpected party stories yet.
During a recent appearance on the “Better Half” podcast with friends Victoria Villarroel and Anastasia “Stassie” Karanikolaou, the Kylie Cosmetics founder opened up about a past magic mushroom experience that quickly spiraled into an emotional and hilarious night out in public.
Jenner, 28, recalled taking mushrooms before heading to an event for Karanikolaou, admitting the experience became far more intense than she expected. “Do you remember?” she asked her friends during the episode. “It was, like, a party. I came and couldn’t stop crying.”
According to Jenner, the tears were not from sadness but from nonstop laughter after someone at the event approached her with a question she suddenly found hysterical. Jenner said she was “laughing-crying” to the point where she “couldn’t stop laughing and cried off all [her] makeup.”
Things only got more chaotic once she made it to the bathroom.
“I went to the bathroom and I looked like the most craziest version of myself,” Jenner admitted, adding that the moment ultimately convinced her it was time to leave. “I had to go home.”
Kylie Jenner Explains Why She Avoided Mushrooms at Coachella
The reality star revealed the experience stuck with her long after the party ended.
Jenner explained on the podcast that she recently turned down an opportunity to take mushrooms again during Coachella because she worried the same emotional spiral could happen all over again in a very public setting.
“I’m like, I just don’t know if I want to be shrooming in public,” she said. “Maybe I’ll get really emotional and start crying. Why do I want to cry tonight?”
The candid confession came shortly after Jenner also addressed speculation surrounding her recent appearance on Kid Cudi’s “Big Bro” podcast. Jenner clarified that despite fan assumptions, she was completely sober during the interview.
“You heard it here first,” she joked. “I was not high for that podcast.”
Still, Jenner did get honest about her past marijuana use during the conversation with Kid Cudi. According to The U.S. Sun, she revealed she used to smoke “a lot” while listening to his 2009 song “Hyyerr” from the album “Man on the Moon: The End of Day.”
Jenner reportedly said the song became one of her favorites during that era of her life and reflected on how much Kid Cudi’s music influenced her growing up.
Kylie Also Talks Timothée Chalamet, Music and Kendall Jenner
The podcast appearances offered fans a more relaxed and unfiltered side of Jenner than they typically see online.
During the Kid Cudi interview, Jenner briefly spoke about boyfriend Timothée Chalamet, revealing that “Call Me by Your Name” is her favorite project of his and sharing excitement for “Dune 3.”
The beauty mogul also hinted she may not be fully done with music. Jenner previously collaborated with Terror Jr., and during the interview, Kid Cudi jokingly offered to executive produce an album for her.
Jenner additionally reflected on experimenting with marijuana before her sister Kendall Jenner. During a 2025 episode of “The Kardashians,” Kendall admitted she initially judged Kylie for it.
“I was so mad at her. I was like, ‘You’re a degenerate!’” Kendall recalled at the time, before later admitting she eventually smoked with Kylie and “had the best time ever.”
Kylie laughed off the memory and suggested growing up as the youngest sibling worked in her favor.
“Kris Jenner definitely got more relaxed the more children she had by the time I came around,” she said.
