Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson,
may be broken up now, but when they first became fiancee's after just two, months, of dating
fans were pretty divided on whether or not to ship the couple
especially, considering in just those 4 short months of them being together
Pete made PLENTY of inappropriate jokes
about his fiancee, so today we are breaking down
the 9 most problematic comments Pete has made about Ariana
Now this first one actually happened long before the two got together
as I'm sure you all know, in May of last year there was a terrorist attack at the Manchester arena
the night of Ariana's concert
23 people died including the bomber
and 139 more people were injured
of course this tragic event was extremely traumatic for so many, Ariana included.
Before Pete and Ari began dating he actually made a joke about the incident
saying that it must have made Ariana realize how famous she'd become
because, quote, "Britney Spears didn't have a terrorist attack at her concert".
Now, obviously this joke was very insensitive, but Ari ended up coming to her man's defense via twitter
after a fan tweeted, quote, "I respect Ariana and I want her to be happy and everything, but she was just broken after the Manchester bombing,
so I don't know why she is still with Pete, like yeah he made that joke a while ago, but like it's not funny, it's just rude. This is my opinion."
Ari then responded with, quote, "This has been very tough and conflicting on my heart.
He uses comedy to help people feel better about how f-ed up things in this world are.
We all deal with trauma differently. I of course didn't find it funny. It was months ago and his intention wasn't/is never malicious,
but it was unfortunate."
Next up, Ariana was recently called upon to perform at Aretha Franklin's funeral.
And despite her incredible performance honoring the legendary soul singer,
Pete still managed to find a way to be a little bit inappropriate.
In an interview with Howard Stern, Pete talked all about the funeral, but not in the way you'd think one would typically speak about such an event.
In fact, Pete told Howard that he comforted Ariana by telling her that she was so hot,
because of all the people that were looking at her. And then added,
quote, "I get it. I was jerking off to her before I met her!"
Oh, Pete *exasperated*. To make matters even worse, Pete then decided to throw in a joke about the way Bill Clinton was looking at Ariana - at the funeral.
In that same interview with Howard Stern, Pete said that he's, quote,
"never been prouder", than when Bill Clinton seemed to be "eyeing" Ariana.
We totally get that he's a comedian, but like, c'mon.
Unfortunately, the funeral jokes didn't end there.
So I'm sure you guys all saw the photos that surfaced of Ariana and the bishop.
The ones that got him accused of groping Ari
Well, in that same interview, Pete also defended the pastor (I know),
he said, quote "It's not cool and I feel really bad. We both don't think that was intentional.
He's a really tall guy; she's very little. He was trying to be funny. He did a stupid joke. He's a pastor. I feel bad for the guy.".
Umm, what?
Once he was done chatting with Howard about Aretha's funeral
Pete went on to discuss his sex life with Ariana, and things took a very strange turn when he decided to bring his late father,
who died on 9/11, into the conversation.
In order to last longer during sex, Pete told Howard, quote,
"I was just thinking of my Dad being burned alive. That's what I do. I just think of my dad seeing that fire coming right towards me.".
If you've heard Pete's standup before than you know that he does often makes jokes about 9/11,
which seems to be a coping mechanism for him. However, we this time he definitely took it a LITTLE too far.
Now this next one was actually just a miscommunication.
When Ari posted a pic of her and her late grandad on Instagram, Pete commented quote,
"omg what a cutie".
Many fans thought he was talking about Ari, and then found it incredibly disrespectful,
but he hit back in the comments immediately and defended himself, clearing things up saying quote,
"Are you guys all insane? I was talking about how cute her grandpa is. What's wrong with that?
You guys will really look for anything to attack people. It's sad."
Speaking of sad, it was a little sad that when Pete first talked about his engagement to Ariana he did so in a raunchy and downright inappropriate way.
Pete said quote, "It's like what you would think it was like but, like, 100 times sicker. It's f-cking lit. I'm a very, very lucky boy, and I'm very, very loved and I'm very lucky.
And my d-ck's forever hard." Yes he went there.
If you follow Ariana on Instagram, then you're probably already fully aware of the fact that she and Pete recently adopted a new baby pig, named Piggy Smalls.
When talking about the process of getting Piggy Smalls on Late Night with Seth Myers.
Pete said this, "This girl like, she was like, I want a pig, and then an hour later it was just there."
*crowd laughter*
"You know what I mean, like I'm still trying to get like a Propecia refill for like the last like two weeks --
this chick got a PIG in a f-cking hour!"
Pete recently appeared on SNL's Weekend Update. He obviously had to crack a few dates about his relationship with Ari.
Among them though, was a joke about wanting a prenuptial agreement. Which some people felt he shouldn't have joked about at all
So when Colin Jost asked about their prenup agreement, Pete said, quote,
"Well, obviously I wanted one, you know, so God forbid we split up she takes half my sneakers."
Clearly this was meant to be a joke, but considering he'd likely gain a portion of Ari's money, and property with a prenup if they were to split;
the joke rubbed many people the wrong way. But guys, what really got people up in arms
was when Pete made a joke about replacing Ariana's birth control pills with TicTacs in order to ensure that she wouldn't leave him.
"Yeah last night I switched her birth control with TicTacs"
*crowd laughter*
"No, I believe in us and all, but you know, I just wanna like, make sure." *more laughter*
One angry fan responded by writing quote, "Hey Pete Davidson, can you not make creepy and uncalled for jokes about switching your fiance's birth control with TicTacs?
Let's not normalize that disgusting manipulation.
Another person referred to the joke as quote, "Tone-deaf and insensitive."
Whew! Well, we understand where people are coming from with that one, but, at the same time he is a comedian.
