Pete Davidson Deletes Instagram After Disturbing Post
Hollywood Reporter ^ | December 15, 3018 | THR Staff

Posted on 12/15/2018 2:04:13 PM PST by EdnaMode

Pete Davidson deleted his Instagram account after he wrote that he doesn't "want to be on this Earth anymore" in a post on Saturday.

"I really don't want to be on this earth anymore. I'm doing my best to stay here for you but i actually don't know how much longer i can last. all i've ever tried to do was help people," Davidson wrote.

An outpouring of support followed the post as "Pete Davidson" and "Pete" trended on Twitter on Saturday.

On Saturday afternoon New York police told The Hollywood Reporter, "We are aware of the post and we are conducting an investigation and welfare check."

The post came hours after Davidson had posted in support of singer Kanye West, who had been tweeting about mental illness. "Bravo Kanye West for standing up for yourself and speaking out against mental health," Davidson wrote. "I can't explain to you enough how difficult and scary it is to be honest about stuff like this. We need people like Kanye. No one should ever point fingers at you for your bravery in speaking about mental health. I'm seriously disgusted."

On Saturday, singer Ariana Grande, who was formerly engaged to Davidson, tweeted an apology that she had joked about West's tweets days earlier. "man i’m so sorry i told a dumb joke. i really didn’t mean any harm. all i want everyone to be healthy and happy. so desperately. please. my god," she wrote.

Grande added in another tweet, "I’m downstairs and I’m not going anywhere if you need anyone or anything. I know u have everyone u need and that’s not me, but i’m here too."

On Thursday, Grande had joked about Kanye West's feud with singer Drake. West accused Drake on Twitter of making fun of a performer with mental illness. Grande wrote on Thursday, seemingly in response to the feud, "guys, i know there are grown men arguing online rn but miley and i dropping our beautiful, new songs tonight so if y'all could please jus behave for just like a few hours so the girls can shine that'd be so sick thank u."

The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to NBC, Universal TV and Lorne Michaels’ Broadway Video to find out if Davidson is scheduled to be on Saturday Night Live. They have not responded for comment.

Mr. Davidson lost his father on 9/11 and publicly stated that he is suffering from borderline personality disorder. Hope he can get the help that he needs.

The same Pete Davidson (Little Puke) who made crude jokes about newly elected Congressman Dan Crenshaw who is a Veteran and a war Hero.

Did he get liberal blowback for supporting Kanye?

Apparently so. I wonder how he was “helping people” on that day?

Yep. His father was a firefighter who died saving people at the WTC on 9/11 when Pete Davidson was only 7 years old.

I never knew who this guy Davidson was until that SNL controversy. But Dan Crenshaw appeared on SNL the next week and all was well:

Does that mean he barely has a personality?

I can’t believe this unattractive man was actually lucky enough to convince Ariana to date him.

But, I hope he gets better.

Yes, mental health is a terrible thing and not to be recommended.

He definitely has mental problems. The actions of the Clinton co-Presidency were a main factor in 911 happening and Pete got a tattoo of Hillary on his leg, he worships her.

He will never recover from BPD. Very sad.

Who the hell is Pete Davidson and why should I care?

There are thousands of folks every day who think they should no longer be on this world.

I have no interest if “Pete Davidson” wants me to follow-up with him or not.

I spent some time reading this as I wanted to find out what why I shouldn’t just say “So what?” When I was done reading I should have just left it as “So what?” as now I am at “Who gives a rat’s arse.” and “Why did I waste my time?.”
