Ariana Grande BLASTS Pete Davidson: This Loser Used Me For Fame!
Hard to believe that it was less than five months ago that Ariana Grande stunned fans by announcing her engagement to Pete Davidson.
Of course, saying the situation didn’t play out the way she expected would be putting it very, very mildly.
Ariana and Pete broke up unexpectedly last month, and from what it seems, the split was far from amicable.
Now, there are many perks to dating a comedian, chief among them, of course, is the fact that your relationship is sure to be filled with laughter.
But there are downsides, as well, particularly the fact that comics tend to mine the more painful aspects of their private lives for material, which means there’s a good chance that a difficult breakup will immediately become joke fodder.
So it’s not terribly surprising that a new promo for the upcoming episode of SNL finds Pete playing the news about his love life for laughs.
Standing alongside hosts Jonah Hill and musical guest Maggie Rogers, Davidson jokingly proposes to Rogers, who promptly shoots him down, an obvious reference to Davidson’s tendency to move very quickly in relationships — particularly when his partner is a well-known singer.
Take a look:
Pretty harmless stuff, if you ask us, and Davidson is clearly poking fun at himself more than he’s skewering Ariana.
Still, Grande was obviously not thrilled to find that her very recent breakup is already being played for laughs, and she made her feelings very clear with a pair of scathing tweets.
“For somebody who claims to hate relevancy [you] sure love clinging to it huh,” Grande wrote.
“Thank [you], next,” she added.
We can’t help but think “fame” would’ve worked better there than “relevancy.”
After all, who hates being relevant?
But we digress.
Needless to say, fans have overwhelmingly sided with Ariana, with the tweets attracting many references to the spillage of tea and state-sanctioned beheadings.
(We assume that’s what’s meant by the phrase “slaaaaaay queen!”)
And as the details of Pete and Ariana’s breakup are hard to come by, it’s impossible for us to say if it was appropriate for Pete to joke about the breakup so soon after the fact.
But we can say that if Ariana is this thin-skinned, it’s a safe bet that her relationship with a famously envelope-pushing comic was likely doomed from the start.
Again, this argument is null and void if it turns out that Pete precipitated the breakup with some sort of monstrous behavior, but if it was just a standard split, then Ari might have to just come to grips with the fact that the snarky sense of humor she previously found so endearing will now serve as a source of mild irritation.
And hey, if she wants to shoot back by claiming that all that talk about “big dick energy” was just her way of compensating for Pete’s micropenis, we’re 100 percent here for it.
Grey"s Anatomy Recap: Who"s Dying?
Ghosts from the past roamed the halls of Seattle Grace Memorial on Thursday’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy as Día de Muertos weighed heavily on the minds of our favorite characters.
It was all thanks to a girl named Flo who was in the hospital for surgery, so her family decided to celebrate their tradition, and it resulted in a lot of blasts from the past.
Before that, Richard pulled Meredith aside to let her know that one of his friends told him her father was dying of cancer and was in a hospice.
Gulp.
This threw Meredith for a loop as she tried to conclude whether her deadbeat father deserved to be graced with her presence one last time.
As such, she turned to Maggie because they’re as close as ever, but Meredith quickly realized the journey ahead was one she had to travel on her own.
Cece set her up on another date, and she wasted no time in talking about her issues with her father, and it rendered the whole romance a dud.
Both Link and DeLuca were in a battle for Meredith’s heart, so they were especially pissed to learn that she was still dating.
After embracing Día de Muertos, Meredith exited the hospital, but there were ghosts from the past walking the halls.
There was Derek, Lexie, George and even Meredith’s mother, Ellis. Meredith somehow found herself getting closer to Link after visiting Alex instead of her father.
Elsewhere, Miranda and Jo worked together with a woman who was planning her funeral because she was under the impression she was not getting the liver she needed in time.
A patient died, and Miranda decided to try and salvage the liver from his body because he was a match with the woman who needed the liver.
Despite the liver functioning, Alex shut the whole thing down, claiming that he couldn’t allow it to go ahead in case there were issues down the line that put the hospital under scrutiny.
But Bailey and Jo went ahead with the surgery thinking they were saving a life, and that they did. The surgery went well, and the woman survived with a new lease on life.
Jo thought Alex was going to flip out, but he loved that she was right and they got hot and heavy in his office.
Elsewhere, Betty went missing, and it threw a wrench in Teddy’s plan to tell Owen all about her carrying his child.
Yes, this storyline is going to be dragged on until the midseason finale, you guys!
Amelia, Teddy, and Owen worked together to find the teenager, but their mission was unsuccessful. They ultimately gave up when Amelia had to go to a meeting because she thought she was being triggered.
The mystery of Betty’s whereabouts will continue on next Thursday’s installment.
