Pete Davidson fired a brutal joke at Ariana Grande after she claimed she only dated him as a distraction…
Pete comes from humble beginnings.
He was born in 1993 in New York City and grew up on Staten Island.
Pete was met with tragedy early in his life.
His firefighter father was killed during the September 11 attacks in 2001.
His career started early.
He began acting in 2010, with roles in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Friends of the People, Guy Code, and Wild ‘n Out.
But in 2014, Pete had his big break…
He was cast on SNL, making him the youngest cast member in history!
He’s been a member of the cast for 8 seasons.
But aside from his career, Pete might just be better known for something else…
We all remember his relationship with Ariana Grande, right?
The pair dated in 2018, and were even engaged!
Grande’s song “Pete Davidson” appeared on her album Sweetener.
He’s also referenced in “Thank U Next.”
Following their split, Pete dated actress Kate Beckinsale.
She was twenty years his senior, and the relationship lasted from January to August in 2019.
Pete also went out with model Kaia Gerber…
The 2 were together between October 2019 to January 2020.
He also dated actress Phoebe Dyvenor is 2021.
You may recognize her from Bridgerton.
And then, of course, there’s Kim Kardashian.
Following Kim’s split from her husband Kanye West, she dated Pete!
Most notably Pete entered into Kim’s private life, which has become less and less private as the years go on.
And it’s fair to say he became embroiled in the drama between her and Kanye.
One of the main media obsessions was Kanye’s constant meddling in their relationship…
As he didn’t take too kindly to his ex-wife moving on so swiftly with the comedian, calling the pair out over and over again on social media.
Following Kanye’s attacks on Pete, Kim appeared to have had enough of the situation as she asked Kanye to stop putting Pete in danger.
In one of many deleted posts, Kanye shared screenshots of his messages with Kim.
The screenshots showed Kim telling Kanye that he is “creating a dangerous and scary environment and someone will hurt Pete and this will be all your fault.”
Captioning the post on Instagram, Kanye repeated Kim’s pleas to keep Pete safe as he wrote: “UPON MY WIFE’S REQUEST PLEASE NOBODY DO ANYTHING PHYSICAL TO SKETE IM GOING TO HANDLE THE SITUATION MYSELF.”
Before Kim added in another screenshot shared by Kanye: “There are dangerous people out there and this is scary and it doesn’t have to be,” the outlet reports.
Kanye responded to Kim in the messages writing: “I will always do everything to protect you and our family forever. And I listened to you and told everyone to make sure nothing physical happens to Skete.”
Kanye’s attacks on both Kim and Pete have been pretty constant…
But throughout it all, many people believe that Kim has handled it well.
In one of Kanye’s new songs, the rapper says: “Pops home, I ain’t getting frisked / I put your security at risk.”
He continues: “I walk in the crib, no getting frisk / Butt-naked in the kitchen cooking grits / Tell yo’ mama, “Come give me a kiss” / Security gon’ need security for this.” This seems to imply Kanye will do whatever it takes to be part of their lives again.
Kanye goes on to rap: “Never take the family picture off the fridge / Never stand between a man and his kids.”
This was allegedly aimed at Pete.
Since the new season of Keeping Up with The Kardashians aired…
We surprisingly saw Pete becoming a part of Kim’s life.
Things seemed to have been going swimmingly.
But, obviously, there were some cracks, with Sky News reporting that the pair had gone their separate ways.
Apparently, the couple still has “a lot of love for each other” but their work commitments “made it really difficult to maintain a relationship.”
Fans immediately thought of one thing…
People began pointing fun at the tattoos Pete got for the reality star, UNILAD reports.
Back in April, fans spotted a tattoo on Pete which read KNSCP which stood for Kim’s initials along with those of her 4 children.
One person tweeted: “Pete Davidson really got all those tattoos for Kim Kardashian only for them to break up.”
“You’re laughing? Pete Davidson has a tattoo of Kim Kardashian’s kids and you’re laughing?” another commented, while a third wrote: “Pete Davidson’s tattoo removal guy just put a down payment on another boat.”
Following their breakup, the real reason behind their split was revealed.
And it all comes down to Kim’s commitment to motherhood.
According to an insider, the pair are on very different life paths.
“Pete is 28 and Kim is 41 — they are just in very different places at the moment,” the insider said, as per Page Six.
“Pete is totally spontaneous and impulsive and wants her to fly to New York, or wherever he is on a moment’s notice.
“But Kim has four kids and it isn’t that easy. She needs to focus on the kids,” they added.
Despite this, many have speculated as to how Pete has so much luck with the ladies.
Including one rather X-rated theory…
“I praise Pete, I praise Pete. There’s something in the sauce. He got something, okay,” Jay Pharoah said on the SiriusXM The Jess Cagle Show.
“So, I talk to him, I said, ‘Pete, man, what is it?’ I said, ‘Could, what is it, what’d you do? What was it? How you do it?’
“He told me what it was. It, it’s his endowment. He confirmed it. He was like, ‘Yeah bro, it’s like nine inches.’
“I was like, ‘What? Word. Oh, snap we twins. That’s crazy,’” Pharoah continued.
“You know, that’s, that’s what they do. You know, that’s what happens… he got Kate Beckinsale. He got the vampire from the Underworld. What the hell?
“Are you kidding me? What, you got Ariana Grande? You? What? You got my money, my car, my push,” he concluded.
Well, dating expert Amber Kelleher-Andrew revealed the truth to the Daily Mail.
The first reason? His sense of humor!
“This is not a cliché. If you follow the science, research has proven that our attitude and state of mind is directly related to our overall health and wellness,” she explained.
“It’s no wonder the leading ladies are drawn to Pete Davidson! Said simply, Pete makes the ladies laugh and this lowers their levels of stress hormones, such as cortisol and adrenaline while concurrently raising their endorphins and dopamine.
“It’s quite remarkable when you break down the physiology of laughter.
“Pete’s humor brings joy and happiness to his partners and when they feel great and less stressed, they desire more of him,” the expert explained.
The next reason? His big brown eyes!
Well, kind of. It’s more his vulnerable, charming look and demeanor.
“Pete wears his heart on his sleeve. He has been very open and candid about his difficult past and because of this transparency women are drawn to his innocence.
“Pete is what I like to call ‘comfortably charming’. What you see is what you get, and this approachability (especially for type A personalities such as leading ladies) is refreshing,” Kelleher-Andrew said.
The third reason for Pete’s success is his status.
His SNL stint has given him some major cache amongst celebrity types!
“Hollywood and SNL are synonymous with one another, from comedic icons such as Mike Myers, Steve Martin, and Eddie Murphy to box-office mega stars like Will Ferrell, Chris Rock, and Adam Sandler.
“I know firsthand that single men who have reached mega success in their careers tend to be more attractive than those who have not. Hollywood stardom is even more rare, and Pete Davidson has achieved both,” she said.
“Typically, taller men are considered more attractive than their shorter counterparts.
“Pete not only makes his leading ladies laugh but he also stands at 6’3” thus naturally displaying this alpha male characteristic. His stature is directly tied to power, strength, and protection. In a nutshell, Pete’s dominance makes the leading ladies feel safe,” the expert concluded.
And it seems as if these reasons have worked in the star’s favor yet again as Pete has reportedly found a new flame.
In the form of the “most beautiful woman in the world.”
The mystery woman is best known as the “Blurred Lines Girl.”
She has also played many roles in Hollywood films like Gone Girl, We Are Your Friends, I Feel Pretty, Lying and Stealing, and The American Meme.
She has landed television roles too.
In episodes of iCarly, The Spoils Before Dying, Easy, and most recently Ziwe.
Her gleaming portfolio includes the likes of some of the biggest publications and designers in the industry, making her one of the most-talked-about names in fashion…
As well as being dubbed the “most beautiful woman in the world.”
The pair have been spotted together in a steamy embrace.
And when you find out who it is, you’ll be shocked…
Pete was also recently spotted attending an NBA game at Madison Square Garden.
And he had a special someone beside him whilst watching the game.
Pete reportedly wore a dark blue Sinclair sweatshirt and black sunglasses.
He was also seen wearing dark blue pants and silver sneakers.
As well as Pete enjoying his time with his special lady…
He also shared a few laughs with a longtime Knicks fan, Ben Stiller, who was sitting on his right.
As for his plus one, she was seen wearing a white top under a brown puffer coat with light blue jeans and knee-high boots for the outing.
The woman who he was with was rumored to be dating earlier this month when the pair were seen holding hands in Brooklyn.
So who is Pete reportedly dating?
None other than model and actress Emily Ratajkowski!
“Pete and Emily have been talking for a couple months now,” a source told US Weekly, whilst admitting the pair are still in the very early stage of their relationship.
“Pete makes Emily laugh, and he loves how intelligent she is.”
You can see a photo of the pair here.
Chloe Fineman shared that Pete has a catnip for women after admitting she’s charmed by him.
Over the years, Pete has caught the attention of many women.
From Kim Kardashian to Ariana Grande to his now most recent lover, Emily Ratajkowski.
Chloe has now joined the long list of women charmed by him.
She exclusively told Page Six: “I’ve worked and chatted with him.
“I find him deeply charming. And I remember my first year [on Saturday Night Live], going to all my girlfriends and being like, ‘I get it.’”
The thirty-four-year-old also shared that she had “friends who have dated” him.
But recently, a comment from one of his previous lovers has resurfaced and it has been getting a lot of attention.
Ariana Grande admitted that she only went out with Pete as a distraction.
The pair dated back in 2018 and even had a 5 months engagement before they broke up.
In his Netflix special titled Pete Davidson: Alive From New York, the twenty-nine-year-old opened up about his relationship over the years.
He brought up Ariana’s comment which she made to Vogue back in 2020: “I met Pete, and it was an amazing distraction. It was frivolous and fun and insane and highly unrealistic, and I loved him, and I didn’t know him.”
Firing back at her comment, Pete said: “I wasn’t gonna do jokes about this, but then my buddy told me, he’s like, ‘Yo, I’ve recently heard that Arianna said she had no idea who you were. And she just dated you as a distraction’.
“So now I just think it’s like fair game and you’re like, ‘Pete, this isn’t fair. You’re like you’re airing out dirty laundry. How could you do that? Why did she say this stuff, to her friends, in the competence of her own home?’
“No, she said it on the cover of Vogue magazine.
“Can you imagine if I did that. My career will be over tomorrow.”
Then, Pete delivered the killer blow: “If I spray painted myself brown and hopped on the cover of Vogue magazine, and just started s**tting on my ex.”
As the crowd went into a frenzy and cheered him on, he added: “Can you imagine the, no don’t clap those are Drake, Lil Wayne wings claps I don’t like that, I like the giggles.
“But you imagine if I did that s**t if I was just ‘like, yeah, just f**king her because I was bored, and then Fortnite came out.
“That would be insane. Again, these are jokes. I don’t I don’t want any smoke. Okay, my biggest fear is I’m gonna get a shot in the back of their head by like a nine-year-old with a ponytail.”
Users online were quick to comment on his brutal joke…
One user wrote: “He went straight for the neck with that spray paint joke lmao.”
A second added: “Jaw dropped once he said ‘spray painted myself brown’ lol I am BAFFLED.”
While a third chimed: “‘Shot in the back of the head by a nine-year-old with a pony tail’ had me dead lmao.”
What do you think of his comments?
