Pete Davidson’s split from girlfriend Elsie Hewitt coincides with the backlash he’s getting over a Charlie Kirk joke he recently made on Netflix Kevin Hart’s roast.
The former SNL comedian was condemned by conservative commentator Lilly Gaddis on the Piers Morgan show for targeting Kirk, who was killed in a shooting last year.
“I didn’t think that joke about Charlie Kirk was funny. I think he could have taken that joke and used someone else in a different scenario, and I think it would have been funnier.”
When Morgan asked, “Did he cross a line for you,” she said, “A line that should be crossed is comedy. Do I think it was inappropriate? Yes. Do I think it wasn’t necessary? Yes. Do I think he could have done better? I don’t think he’s funny and I don’t think the joke was funny.”
She said the murder of Charlie Kirk traumatized millions of people around the world.
Pete Davidson took aim at MAGA comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, saying he “reminds me of Charlie Kirk because he’s definitely been on camera and had a man unloaded down his throat.”
According to PEOPLE, Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt have broken up, but are still working on things together.
Quoting a source, the outlet reported that “Pete and Elsie are working on things.” “They want each other to succeed and be happy.”
According to the insider, the couple’s relationship has had ups and downs before. “There have been times where they have broken up and gotten back together,” the source explains, adding that it is not clear if they will reunite.
