Olivia O’Brien calls Pete Davidson a “complete joke” after criticizing female influencers
In an interview with Variety, Davidson shared his thoughts on influencers. She said, “It’s bad, and it makes me sad, you know. And the girls are just out there talking to themselves, and they’re like, ‘Okay, come get ready with me.’ And I say, ‘Who are you?’ What do you do? Nothing. What nonsense is this?
He said influencers earn “40 million a year” while “the world is broken.”
Following his comments, the comedian faced criticism online. Content creator Rachel Lowenstein criticized Davidson in an Instagram post. One slide read, “Less about the dominant culture and more about their disdain for women in particular.”
Another slide showed a photo of Davidson with famous exes including Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, Kate Beckinsale and Margaret Qualley. It read, “Pete Davidson’s cultural capital arises less from his talent as a comedian and more from his proximity to famous women.”
according to buzzfeedThe final slide read, “A man whose entire career was based on attention from women thinks women chasing other women’s attention is shameful.”
O’Brien, who reportedly dated Davidson in 2020, commented on the producer’s post. He wrote“I was dating him in 2020 and found out after seeing on Snapchat Daily Mail that we are no longer together that he went public with a more famous woman llama*o. He is an absolute joke of a human being.”
A user replied to his comment and said that he too had a similar experience. O’Brien responded, “Sounds perfect,” adding, “Not sure how he has the time, considering we were texting 24 hours a day and sleeping on FaceTime even though we weren’t together, busy boy! LMF*O.”
His comments added another layer to the backlash Davidson faced over his comments.
