Pete Davidson says he found it “embarrassing” for the media to discuss the size of his manhood.
The discourse surrounding Pete‘s size started back in 2018 after his former girlfriend Ariana Grande tweeted a joke about it.
A fan had tweeted “how long is pete???” While the fan was referring to the song about him, Ariana responded in a much different way. “like 10 inches? …oh f–k…i mean…like a lil over a minute,” she tweeted back, though the tweet was later deleted.
Years later, Pete said he “thought that was super weird” that Ariana commented on his “BDE.”
Now, Pete is calling out the media for continuing the discourse after all of these years, especially after he dated many of Hollywood’s hottest women.

“I was embarrassed by it,” Pete said on The Breakfast Club podcast. “No one talked about any work I was doing. They were just like, ‘Oh, that’s the f–k stick.’ And that hurt so much.”
Pete said that while working on SNL, people started to notice the toll the media took on him. ” “I think after a year or two, everyone saw how sad I was about it — and embarrassed,” he said. “I was never on Instagram flexing that lifestyle at all; I was very embarrassed by it,” he said before adding, “No one was outrightly mean by any means.”
Podcast host Charlamagne tha God was surprised to hear that Pete was uncomfortable with the chatter surrounding his size.
“You was banging a lot of hot chicks and you had a 10-inch penis,” he said.
Pete responded, “You know, on paper, that sounds great… It’s embarrassing, ’cause, you know… It’s Hollywood. Everybody f–ks everyone. Why are they focusing on me? I’m not Glen Powell handsome. I’m just a dude who tells dick jokes that is a drug addict. It had nothing to do with comedy. But also, that stuff affects relationships … I don’t want to victimize myself in any way because I’m cool, but the sexualization of me — if that was a girl, there would be a march for it… Seriously. You’re just talking about my dick all day? People do that on the internet to like Sydney Sweeney or whoever, [but] there’s no radio hosts or news people … they don’t talk about girls like [that]. [This] was professional. It was pointed out in the street.”
“It just got to a point where I was… I got really tired of my whole career just being, like, my personal life. And living through that is sort of traumatic. Like, not to be lame, but like, it’s traumatic to live in your own crap all the time,” Pete added.
Pete is now expecting his first child with his current girlfriend.
