Pete Davidson Opens Up About Hollywood’s Penis Rumors
Pete Davidson Spills the Tea on the Traumatic Effects of Hollywood's Obsession with His Endowment
In a shocking and candid conversation on The Breakfast Club, 31-year-old Pete Davidson finally addressed the rumors that have haunted him for years – the speculation about his private parts being "10 inches" long. And, honey, it's a juicy tale of trauma, embarrassment, and a dash of Hollywood hypocrisy.
The comedian, who rose to fame on Saturday Night Live (SNL), revealed that he felt humiliated by the attention surrounding his personal life. He confessed that the scrutiny made him feel like his contributions to SNL were being overshadowed by his relationships and, ahem, equipment.
"It was embarrassing," Pete admitted. "I thought people were talking about my work, but no one was. They were just, 'Oh, he's got a big d*.' And that hurt so much."
But it wasn't just the constant talk of his endowment that bothered him – it was also the way the media and Hollywood seemed to be fascinated by every detail of his personal life.
"I'm just like this dude who tells dirty jokes and is a drug addict," Pete said with a grin, before adding, "I'm not Glen Powell handsome." The implication being that he's only famous because of his connections and physical attributes – not necessarily his talent or hard work.
Pete's ex-fiancée, Ariana Grande, inadvertently fueled the fire when she posted a now-deleted tweet in 2018 claiming that his package was "10 inches" long. But it wasn't just her fans who were interested; it seemed like the entire entertainment industry was salivating over every detail of Pete's private life.
"I think people would be more understanding if this was a girl," Pete said, pointing out the double standard. "If someone was talking about a woman's body all day, there'd be marches and protests."
The conversation turned to the origins of the term "big d* energy" – an alleged trait that fans believed Pete exuded during his relationship with Ariana. But Pete revealed that it was actually the New York Times who coined the phrase when he started dating someone they considered "out of his league."
"It's like, everyone is out of my league," Pete chuckled. "But I think someone confirmed it – after I started dating Ariana, a fan tweeted at her asking how long I was... and she replied with that infamous '10 inches' response."
Pete's relationship with Ariana was short-lived, but the constant attention surrounding their romance left him feeling drained and resentful.
"Living through that is sort of traumatic," Pete said. "Not to be lame, but it's traumatic to live in your own crap all the time." And, honestly, who can blame him?
But it seems like Pete has finally found happiness with his new girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt – a 29-year-old London-born model. The two have been spotted showing off their loved-up displays and recently announced that they're expecting their first child together.
As for the rumors about his endowment? Well, let's just say Pete is finally at peace with his body (and the attention surrounding it).
"I'm not a victim," he said. "Things are cool now. I'm just glad to be moving on and focusing on my life – and not just my...ahem...private parts."
