Comedian Pete Davidson was accused of hypocrisy and infidelity by his ex-girlfriend Olivia O'Brien in an Instagram comment section on October 2, following his remarks criticizing female influencers. O'Brien alleged that Davidson cheated on her during their 2020 relationship and publicly ended things by going public with a more famous woman.
The controversy stems from a Variety interview published on September 30, where Davidson dismissed female career paths as lame and insane while discussing his prolific romantic history. During the same interview, the former Saturday Night Live cast member expressed affection for high-profile exes Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande.
Davidson also addressed intense media scrutiny surrounding his dating life, stating that his work and professional relevance have been unfairly overlooked for over a decade.
