Pete Davidson Opens Up About Media Scrutiny: ‘I Was Harassed For Like Five Years’

In a candid conversation with Page Six, Davidson reflected on the intense media scrutiny surrounding his love life.
The actor believes his relationships have attracted more attention than those of other Hollywood stars simply because he’s “ugly.”
“Everyone is dating everyone, and it’s Hollywood,” he shared. “Look at Paul Mescal, Timmy [Chalamet], Barry Keough. But because I’m ugly, they wrote about me. I was harassed for like five years, and it made my life a living hell.”
The comedian admitted that the relentless coverage was “pretty humiliating and upsetting.
Expressing his frustration over the public’s obsession with his relationships, the “King of Staten Island” star called it “embarrassing” and admitted he would rather be recognized for his work.

Pete Davidson Embraces Dramatic Roles As He Removes His Tattoos

In an interview with E! News at the New York City premiere of his film, “Riff Raff,” Davidson revealed he is evolving in his career and setting his sights on dramatic projects.
“I would love to do more serious stuff,” the actor said. “It’s a lot of fun. I’m really enjoying it.”
Davidson, who shares the screen with Bill Murray, Jennifer Coolidge, and Gabrielle Union in the crime thriller, noted that stepping outside of comedy has been refreshing.
“Usually, I’m the pothead friend or the guy that helps the guy get the girl in the movie. So, to be able to hold a gun and play a serious guy was a lot of fun for me,” he said.

But his career shift isn’t the only transformation he’s undergone. Since 2020, Davidson has been undergoing the grueling process of removing the hundreds of tattoos he’s collected over the years, a journey he admits has been “horrible” at times.
“They gotta burn off a layer of your skin, and then it has to heal for, like, six to eight weeks, and you can’t get in the sunlight,” he explained on “The Tonight Show” on January 31. “And then you gotta do it, like, 12 more times.”
Reflecting on the painful experience, he joked that the removal is actually “worse” than getting the tattoos in the first place.
Davidson warned: “Really think about that ‘Game of Thrones’ tattoo you’re thinking of getting. Really think about it.”
