“There’s no question there’s a triable issue as to whether (Mercer) provided the drugs or not,” Judge Beaudet said during the afternoon hearing. The judge agreed with FAE that Quilisadio failed to state that he personally witnessed someone directing Peep to consume the “excessive” amount of Xanax.īut even without Cold Hart’s full statement, Womack’s negligence and wrongful death claims survived Wednesday because she provided other viable bases for the causes of action, including allegations that no one on the bus was trained to recognize the signs of an overdose that the bus was not equipped with a defibrillator, Narcan, or any other “life-saving apparatuses” used for drug overdose and that no one on the bus rendered Peep life-saving aid, the judge ruled. 14, 2017, Peep’s managers told the rapper he should make “himself sick from taking a bunch of Xanax” so he could trigger “an insurance claim and not lose money” on a show he wanted to cancel.
