Pete Davidson Seemingly Blames Ex Ariana Grande For 'Traumatic' BDE Title: 'That Hurt So Much'

Pete Davidson has gotten raw and honest about how sexualized he felt years ago, when he was in a romantic relationship with his ex-fiancée, Ariana Grande. 

The actor and comedian felt uncomfortable by all the attention, saying that it was focused on the wrong things. 

Davidson's honest admission comes shortly after he revealed that he’s expecting his first child with his model girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt. 

Davidson was recently featured in the latest episode of “The Breakfast Club.” During the discussion, he revealed that he didn’t welcome the overly sexualized attention he received for dating women who were seemingly out of his league. 

The 31-year-old celebrity was “hurt” because people were talking about the size of his genitals when they should’ve been talking about his work. 

“Also, I was embarrassed by it because... no one talked about any work I was doing. They were just like, 'Oh, that's the f--- stick.' And that hurt so much,” he said on the show.

Davidson acknowledged that he got tired of centering his career around his personal life, saying that the experience took a toll on him. “...And living through that is, it's sort of traumatic. Like not to be like lame, but like it's traumatic to live in your own crap all the time,” he added.

The “Saturday Night Live” star didn’t understand why he got all the heat for his romantic relationships because in Hollywood, “Everybody f---- everyone.” “Seriously. You're just talking about my d--- all day,” he quipped. 

Speaking on where the sexualized talks originated from, Davidson seemingly pointed to the time he was in a high-profile relationship with Grande. 

“It was, I think it was like the New York Times or something, when I started dating someone that I guess they considered out of my league, which I think everyone is out of my league, but you know, uh, they were like, 'This guy must have big d--- energy.' And then someone confirmed it,” he recalled. 

Davidson and Grande started dating in 2018 and got engaged that same year. However, their engagement was called off following Grande’s ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller’s, death. The pair’s short-lived romantic relationship lasted all of six months, from May to November 2018.

In 2018, a fan asked Grande, “How long Pete was, but the fan was referring to the song she wrote for her former lover, titled “Pete Davidson.” 

The “Side To Side” singer jokingly responded to the fan, writing, “Like 10 inches? …oh f---…I mean…like a lil over a minute."

That same year, Davidson discussed the “Big D--- Energy” title, saying that he didn’t “hate” it. All that mattered to him at the time was that he was “really, really happy.” 

Despite not being romantically linked to Davidson, Grande reportedly wishes her ex-fiance a happy life and thinks he was made for fatherhood. 

A source reported that although the 32-year-old singer doesn’t personally know Davidson’s current girlfriend, Hewitt, she is happy for the couple. 

“She [Ariana Grande] believes that Pete becoming a father is exactly what he needs in his life. She thinks he’ll be a great dad,” an informant said, as reported by The Blast.

Meanwhile, Davidson recently expressed excitement at the prospect of becoming a father. Last month, he said he couldn’t be more elated about the news because it has always been his dream to father a child. 

According to The Blast, the “Suicide Squad” star also had nothing but praise to sing about his girlfriend. In addition to calling her one of his favorite people ever, he declared that she will be a great mother to his child. 

On the other hand, he also hopes to be a great father to his unborn child. 

Despite gushing over Hewitt about her impending role as the mother of his child, Davidson and the model’s relationship has reportedly been on the rocks. 

As reported by The Blast, insiders claimed that the couple was “fighting a lot” and experiencing pressures from becoming first-time parents. 

Another source added that they now secretly record each other due to growing distrust between them.
