Thursday, October 1, 2026 - Pete Davidson has spoken out about the intense scrutiny Ariana Grande has faced over her appearance, saying he does not understand why the singer continues to receive such criticism.
Davidson, who was briefly engaged to Grande in 2018, addressed the issue in a recent interview with Variety, saying he does not like the attention directed at his former fiancée and describing it as unfair.
Grande has faced renewed public discussion about her appearance and weight in recent months, following extensive attention around her work on Wicked and its sequel, Wicked: For Good.
She has previously urged people to avoid commenting on other people's bodies and recently stepped back from the spotlight after completing her 10-night London residency, which marked the end of her Eternal Sunshine tour.
Davidson also made clear that there is no apparent hostility between the former couple. Although they are no longer in regular contact, he described Grande as talented and said they are still on good terms.
His comments have now brought fresh attention to the wider debate over celebrity scrutiny and the pressure created by constant public commentary about appearance.
