Why should not we be surprised? Pete Davidson jokes about his split from Ariana Grande

Is everything just in love and in post-breakup art?

That is the question when it comes to Ariana Grande and Pete DavidsonThe recent splitting of the group occurred as the two men now navigate the troubled waters after such public engagement. And unfortunately, it does not seem that they are exactly on the same page when it comes to solving their problem.

On Thursday, Grande, 25, went on Twitter to apparently give Davidson, 24, the impression of having used their breakage as feed in a new Saturday Night Live promo.

"Pete's jokes did not entertain him at all," said E! A source close to the singer of "God is a woman". New. "They agreed not to talk about their relationship after they separated, he violated this agreement."

Another source, however, said "it's not true" that Davidson "violated any agreement."

And for Davidson, using the darkest experiences of his past, those that other people generally hide unless they sit on a therapist's couch, are an integral part of his comedy and have become one of his stand-up signatures.

"I'm like," Heyyyy, I just want to talk about that, what's everybody's uncomfortable with. " I like doing that, "he said The New York Times in 2015. "I like doing dark, awkward and weird things that you do not really find funny, funny."

This often includes the referencing of his father …Scott Davidson, a firefighter was killed on September 11th – during his routines, a loss that affected him in the same way as the loss of a beloved parent at the age of seven.

An example of his comedy adaptation? "I've always regretted growing up without dad … until I meet your father, Justin," says Davidson to Justin Bieber during the comedy Pop Comedy Central roast in 2015. "Now I'm happy that mine is dead."

If you feel a little confused by this joke, well, that was Davidson's intention: the offensive humor mark of this 24 year old man helped him become one. of the SNLThe youngest members of the cast ever.

After the tragic death of her father, Davidson's mother told the Time"It was sad to see how much he was growing up," he added. He started going to school and even ripped off all his hair until he became bald during a particularly difficult time.

And then, when he was 16, Davidson started stand-up. "I feel very safe – you can say what you want," he said.

Davidson's comfort is to put people at ease on stage even at his own expense, but he is well aware of his losses before they can be used against him.

And that's exactly what he did when he mentioned his recent split with Grande during the promo released on Saturday Night Liveshow of November 3rd. Davidson jokingly asks the musical guest Maggie Rogers"Do you want to marry?"

When she refuses, a sad Davidson says, "0 for three".

It was not the first time Davidson had conjured up his broken engagement – it was the first time he'd done it on such a big stage. And his ex-fiancee certainly noticed it.

"For someone who claims to hate the relevance [you] that love hangs in there eh, "she wrote, adding," Thank you [you], then. "Grande did not refer to Davidson directly, but the sub-sites were perfectly clear.

She then retweeted a user who wrote. "SNL is about to take advantage of their breakup, just as they did for the engagement, "as well as Maggie's clip belittling Pete.

Some people cry. Some people go to therapy. Some people write a song. Davidson goes on stage and turns his insecurities into comic ammunition.

"I'm talking about things that really make me sad," he says Interview Magazine in 2014. That way, if it's funny, it does not hurt anymore. "

But is there a line when it comes to talking about its separation from one of the biggest pop stars in the world? There is a fine line in terms of personal and private art, and Davidson and Grande clearly have a divergence of opinions, which makes sense given their respective careers.

Nobody holds their fists when it comes to stand-up comedy. Everything and everyone is a fair game, for better or for worse.

The music – and more particularly the musical composition – concerns only insinuations and veiled references. Taylor Swift had the entire internet deducing each lyrical (and support note) with it red album in 2012, desperately trying to decipher the code to discover which of his ex-boyfriends had inspired each song.

"The more it looks like a newspaper entry, the better it is," Swift said. "The more it looks like an open letter, the better, the more honest, honest and real it is," Swift said. Universe of Songwriters in 2012. "Where do you name the places where you went and the time at which it happened and all the things of a relationship."

Great seemed to hint at his break with Mac Miller (who later died of an apparent drug overdose in September at the age of 26) after years spent together on the song "Better Off" from time to time.

While she almost did not include the song on the album, Grande explained on Twitter "[because] At first I was nervous about ……. it became reality. if it makes sense. more honest that I was ready to be myself at the time (his [very] old). but it is beautiful and it has always been one of my favorites and I am very happy that she is there. "

She directly referred to her then fiancée, Davidson, in a song that bears her name and that she wrote shortly after the start of their relationship.

"I just did it and I sent it to him and I did not know how to call him, so I just called him" Pete. "It was going to be that or like, "It's about Pete Davidson," she says. Jimmy Fallon. "I was like why not just be direct?"

And she tweeted about the song, telling her fans, "The music lasts forever, it will survive any tattoo, memory, everything, even to myself, so I want my love for him and my feeling of doing part of that. "

But it was not fair for Grande to be direct with their love, since Davidson also spoke openly about her love during interviews and board games.

during Saturday Night LiveSeason 44 started in late September, just before the split, Davidson made several references to his relationship with the pop star.

He said Colin Jost while Weekend update"I got engaged and nobody could believe it. I can not believe and I get it. She is the number a pop star in the world and I'm this guy from SNL everyone thinks he desperately needs more blood. "

He even discussed their situation before the pregnancy, jokingly explains, "Obviously I wanted one. So, God preserve us, we separate and she takes half of my sneakers? No, look, I'm totally to be comfortable with a successful woman. I think it's dope. I live at home. She pays $ 60,000 for the rent and all I need to do is to store the fridge."

Obviously, Davidson knew who was "the settler" and "the participant" in the relationship. The joke was still on him and he agreed with that.

But some of his humor received negative reactions during their relationship, especially a joke that he made on SNL about switching from Grande "Birth control with ticks, "as well as a comment that he did on the Manchester Arena bombing during a comedy that took place in July. would haveade light of the glory level of his girlfriend so jokingly, "Britney Spears did not have a terrorist attack at his concert ".

A few days after Davidson's comments, Grande tackled the controversy on Twitter.

In response to a user who said that Grande should break with her fiancee because of the insensitive remark, she m said"It has been difficult and conflicting in my heart, it uses comedy to help people feel better and how things are going in this world.We all treat trauma differently.I did not, of course, find that funny it was months ago and his intention was not / is never mean but it was unfortunate. "

After the separation, Davidson's humor about the relationship kept the same angle of self-depreciation, including the SNL promo that sent Great on Twitter.

"Pete never said his name in the joke," said a source to E! News comments. "It was not a joke about him, it was a self-deprecation."

And the source added that Davidson does what he usually does during a difficult period of his life: filter his grief through humor.

"The way Pete handles the breakup is done by jokes, but he is doing very well and is going from the front," said the insider.

Davidson first spoke publicly about the split when he co-hosted the comedy show Judd & Pete for America in October, addressing the elephant fairly quickly. in the room.

"Well, as you can see, I do not want to be here, there's a lot going on," Pete told the crowd. "Does anybody have open rooms? Are you looking for a roommate?"

In addition to joking about her lack of housing, the actress also evoked her infamous matching tattoo (which she was already covering after the split).

"So obviously you know [Ariana and I] broken or anything but when she and I got engaged for the first time, we got a tattoo, and it was like in a magazine like 'Pete Davidson was stupid? & # 39; And 93% of them said yes, he said. "So, boy, he said," Do not listen to this guy. They are literally enemies. And I'm like, yeah, f-k that. I am not stupid. And the other day we were in my kitchen and it was like: Yo bro. It turns out that you were stupid. & # 39; "

As for Grande, who is planning her Sweetener World Tour in 2019, she has remained largely silent, with the exception of some interactions with her fans on Twitter, before moving on to the social media platform that follows the SNL promo of apparently calling his ex.

"It's time to say goodbye to the Internet for a little bit, it's hard not to announce news that I'm not supposed to see," she posted – and then deleted – on Instagram Stories in the middle -October. "It's very sad and we're all trying very hard to keep going.Love yourself and thank you for being here forever."

Now, after Davidson jokes referring to the broken engagement, a source told E! News that Grande is "really hurt" and knowing that he would see her tweeting, she "hopes that he will have enough respect not to do it again".

We think we will all have to wait to see what happens live from Saturday night …
