Pete Davidson Slammed Over ‘Disgusting’ Girl Dad Joke
Pete Davidson raised eyebrows after revealing that it has been difficult for him to watch adult videos now that he has a daughter.
The funnyman instantly came under fire on social media as he revealed he still manages to do so, saying he “powers through.”
Pete Davidson also recently opened up about his decision to get sober, revealing that a “brutal” conversation with his mom led him to it.
Pete Davidson Says It’s ‘Hard To Watch’ X-Rated Films Since He Became A Dad
During a comedy show at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas on Saturday, Davidson opened up about how fatherhood is impacting some of his NSFW pastimes.
The “Saturday Night Live” alum and his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, welcomed their daughter, Scottie, in December last year, and according to Davidson, it has been “hard to watch porn” since then.
“I haven’t done stand-up in 5 months because I just had a baby; it’s a lot of fun,” he said at the show, per Us Weekly. “[I] got a little girl. It’s weird having a little girl.”
The “Bodies Bodies Bodies” actor then said that it’s “hard to watch porn… in front of her,” but followed up with a shocking admission, saying, “I still did. I power through.”
Fans Blast The Comedian Over The ‘Creepy’ Joke
The reaction online was instant and heavy as several internet users slammed him for associating an NSFW activity with fatherhood.
“Why would you associate porn with your daughter? Those are two different things,” an annoyed X user wrote, while another said, “Pete needs to pack up the comedy stuff for now and just focus on his kid, who can’t even stand as yet, work on new material, and stfu, and this is me giving him the tough love treatment.”
Someone else wrote, “This [is] weird as f-ck. Who thinks about their girl daughter while watching porn?”
“Ew, only a weirdo would think to put p0rn and his daughter in the same sentence,” a fourth user penned.
One critic sounded off heavily, saying, “wtf? ew??? I never once liked this guy because he’s unfunny, but this gives me an even better reason to dislike him. This is genuinely disgusting.”
Pete Davidson Said His Daughter Is His ‘Biggest Gift’
The online criticism is particularly biting as it wasn’t too long ago Davidson weighed in on becoming a father while calling his daughter the “biggest gift” ever.
“The best thing I’ve been telling people is [that Scottie is] the biggest gift,” he told the news outlet about his first month being a dad back in January.
“Nothing else matters as much or intensely, like career, activities, hanging out with people [or] what do people think of me, that sort of sh-t,” he continued.
“I still want to do cool stuff, but it’s like, ‘Well, how long do I have to be away?’ Or, ‘Is this worth being away?’” Davidson added about becoming a parent.
The Actor Called His Girlfriend ‘Very Caring,’ Almost ‘To A Fault’
Davidson also praised his girlfriend for how well she embarked on her journey into motherhood, saying at the time that it was “f-cking awesome.”
“The whole time I was very sure and knew that she would be great at being a mom,” Davidson said. “She’s very caring and, almost to a fault, puts everybody else’s needs first. So, it’s really just sweet to see how on top of things she is, and … if [Scottie is] crying, [Elsie] knows exactly what to do.”
He added, “She has, like, little tricks that get her to relax or calm down, and all that stuff is really f-cking cool to watch and see.”
Pete Davidson Opened Up About ‘Brutal’ Reason He Became Sober
Davidson has been away from performing in front of a crowd as he took time to look after and take care of his girlfriend while she was pregnant. He has returned to performing now and seemingly has a number of stops to make just ahead of summer.
The comedian will be performing next at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York, on April 22, before headlining another event in Winnipeg, Canada, on July 17. He will also head to Tacoma, Washington, on August 28.
The changes Davidson is undergoing seem to be widespread as he didn’t only spend over $200,000 to burn off over 200 tattoos, but has also gotten sober following years of struggle with alcohol and substance abuse.
During his recent show, he spoke on how his mom’s brutal honesty helped him turn a new leaf as he revealed she felt his addiction would lead to his death.
“I went to rehab this time,” Davidson said, per Us Weekly. “I was like, ‘I’m gonna I’m gonna actually do it so I could save some of this money I’m making and stop blowing it on rehab.’”
“She was, like, ‘Peter, it’s very hard to be your mom because I wake up every morning with the fear that I’ll turn on the news and see that my son has died,’” Davidson told the crowd. “She told me all this on Zoom — from the house that I bought her on drugs. I was like, ‘Someone’s getting used to things.’ That got me sober.”
