Why Pete Davidson Was “Embarrassed” by Receiving “Big D--K Energy” Attention

Pete Davidson described feeling embarrassed by intense media focus and sexualization after dating Ariana Grande, with family noting his distress during that period.

  • Admitting his discomfort, Pete Davidson said on The Breakfast Club on August 13 he was embarrassed by the 'big d--- energy' memes.
  • During his May–November 2018 romance with Ariana Grande, media obsession with his personal life increased, leading Davidson to feel embarrassed by the attention.
  • Davidson reflected that the media obsession felt traumatic, saying “I got really tired of my whole career just being like my personal life” and noting that the sexualization of him would prompt a march if he were a woman.
  • Davidson has since urged, with friends and family noticing how “sad” and “embarrassed” he was, that people focus on his art rather than his personal life.
  • With his first child on the way, Davidson is starring in two films, The Home and The Pickup, and expecting a baby with Elsie Hewitt.
