Pete Davidson Reflects on Facing Ye’s Wrath 4 Years After Kim Kardashian Romance: ‘He Did Push Me’

Four years after their relationship ended, Pete Davidson reflected on the tumultuous period he endured when dating Kim Kardashian, as detailed in a recent Variety cover story. Davidson, who faced Kanye West's wrath after their breakup, revealed that he empathized with the rapper despite the harsh treatment he received. Though Davidson acknowledged that Ye had experienced personal losses and mental health struggles, he also recognized that Ye's antisemitic behavior was not solely driven by his half-Jewish heritage.

In fact, Davidson believed that the rapper's fixation on Davidson was a result of the relentless pressure and provocation Davidson faced from the public and Ye himself. Davidson noted that Ye eventually resorted to saying, "Leave me the f--k alone. I'm just going to say crazy s--t." The comedian admitted that his previous openness about mental health issues did not deter Ye from continuing to target him online.

Despite the negativity, Davidson expressed that his time with Kardashian may have provided a positive outcome for her future relationships, as she might have been deterred by his behavior. Davidson also confirmed that he had never experienced anything he did not wish to be a part of during their nine-month relationship, praising Kardashian for her respectfulness amidst the whirlwind lifestyle.
