Pete Davidson Defends Ex Ariana Grande After Scrutiny

The former Saturday Night Live star said the attention on his ex’s looks is harmful and defended her as she faces renewed public criticism.

  • On Wednesday, September 30, Pete Davidson defended his ex-fiancée Ariana Grande against ongoing criticism regarding her physical appearance in a Variety profile, expressing disapproval of the intense scrutiny the 33-year-old singer faces.
  • Following her press tours for the 2024 movie musical Wicked, Grande faced intense public speculation about her physical appearance, prompting the 33-year-old artist to announce a step back from the spotlight in September.
  • "I don't like it at all," Davidson told Variety, adding that Grande "knows how to handle this stuff though" but calling the treatment "fucked up." The actor emphasized his ex-fiancée's strength.
  • Drawing on his own nine-month relationship with Kim Kardashian, Davidson sympathized with the pressures of intense media scrutiny, noting that being "followed everywhere" with constant security became overwhelming during his past relationships.
  • Now 32, Davidson finds renewed perspective as a father to daughter Scottie, born in December 2025, saying his priorities have shifted: "None of this f***in' matters at all" compared to family.
