All right, so back in 2024, which I know was like 100 years ago in terms of the Internet, there was this trendy genre of men that girls and journalists like to call sexy rat. Or the other term they used was hot rodent man. So, TL Dr. The summer of 2024 was not only the summer of brat, it was also the summer of rat. And probably the most iconic of all of the rat men was Pete Davidson. Now, if you've been an OG viewer, like I am talking, like early days of comment section viewer, then you probably remember that before the Internet was talk, the sexy rats, the hot rodents, I was calling this same exact genre of man wet cigarettes. You know, they're kind of like tall and skinny, like a cigarette. They're grimy, they're grungy. They look like they never sleep. They're wearing the same T shirt on a daily basis. It's like major dirt bag, wet cigarette energy. And so I'm bringing up all of this because I hate to tell you, but we have an update here. We have an update about the wettest of the cigarettes, the rodents of the Rat King. I think that was actually one of his Netflix specials. We have an update about the Rat King, Pete Davidson. And I hate to tell you because years years later, even after spending over 100k allegedly to remove most of his tattoos, trying to clean up his image, Pete Davidson is still a dirt bag wet cigarette. And these days, he's on stage making porn jokes about his new baby daughter and allegedly walking out on his baby mama. And this, my friends, is why you should keep your legs closed and have discernment about who you sleep with. So just diving in here in case you missed it in class, I mean, the most classic Pete Davidson fashion. Last year, he started dating a model named Elsie Hewitt. It was in early 2025, and they had a classic Pete Davidson whirlwind romance. And they announced that she was pregnant just a few months later in July of 2025. Now, she delivered their daughter on December 12th of last year. Her name is Scotty Rose. She is healthy and happy, all good things. And for a moment, you know, the world at large, the Internet, who have been following the Rat King, the wet cigarette King, they seemed hopeful that this is what Pete needed. Because for years, even through all the ups and downs, the stints in rehab, the of relationships, people were rooting for him. And so they saw this relationship. He was now a new dad. He has a podcast with Netflix. He's, like, cleaned himself up. He's gotten rid of the tattoos, they thought, okay, this is what he's needed. He's successfully gone through rehab now. They were living in this big wooden estate outside of Manhattan, like in Westchester county, on six acres. He was spending less time in the city, doting on his new baby daughter. And then in February, he listed that suburban home dramatically slashing the price month after month, seemingly desperate to offload it. And then a few months later, rumors started circulating. This was at the beginning of May that he and Elsa were having problems. And fast forward to this week, it was officially announced that they split. So almost immediately after that announcement was made, the paparazzi shared pictures of Elsie and their daughter walking in the city. Without Pete. Very obviously without Pete. Now, almost immediately after those paparazzi pictures dropped, people started commenting on her appearance, which, by the way, give her a break. She has a four month old baby. Like it's impressive that she got out of the house to begin with. But anyway, those comments were quickly followed by Elsie making this TikTok. And from there, all hell broke loose. So just watch what she had to say.

I should have left the house looking nicer yesterday. I should have known that that was going to happen. But that's not what I'm thinking about right now because I have a baby to take care of and I also have to work and make money

I'm doing it on my own, which is hard. Noted. Next time I will try to look nicer when I get paparazzi on a walk with my daughter.

A
So she's talking about looking nicer for the paparazzi. She's responding to those comments. But obviously what everybody honed in on in that video was her saying that she has a baby to take care if she has to make money because she is doing it alone. But it wasn't just that because she took it a step further as she responded to comments. For example, somebody said, I hope you don't mean that you're doing the financial part alone. That would be insane given the circumstances. You seem like a lovely person and a wonderful mother. We are all rooting for you. And she responded and said, I am smiley face. She is allegedly allegedly sorry, Pete allegedly doing the financial part alone. Then another comment, somebody said, sorry, but not staying with your partner when they are postpartum is insanely loser behavior. This is the most vulnerable time in a woman's life. She responds to that comment as well and said, amen, sis. Another person says, why is he not helping you like dead ass. And she likes that comment as well. So she is Essentially painting this picture saying Pete Davidson, my baby's father is not helping in the slightest. He has allegedly walked out. He has sold the home that we were living in. I'm now on my own, I'm taking care of this baby, I'm working, I'm financially providing. He's off doing his shows, whatever it is. That is what she is telling the world very directly. Like there is no nuance here. That is what she's saying. And of course that is just one side of the story. We will get to his. I wanna make sure we're being fair here. But I will say upon review of the circumst is just taking what we know about this individual. Like let's just say that in terms of what the Internet was thinking, her story was believable and people on the Internet were not shocked in the slightest. Like somebody on X said, moving in together after two months, getting pregnant after four and then acting completely blindsided when you realize you barely know the guy you are raising a child with. Like, thank you. The Internet could have warned you. The Internet could have told you about the behaviors of the king of the wet cigarette men of the rat king. We could have told you this was a terrible, terrible idea. All you needed to do was log on to TMZ and find one of those articles timeline of Pete Davidson's relationships. And then you should have been running like a track star, far, far away. And also, not to add salt to the wound and just make matters worse, but to correct this commenter here, it was getting pregnant after one month, maybe even less because their baby was born in December, they started dating in March. I'll let you do the math there. Somebody else commented and said pregnant one month into meeting the Village Bicycle and coming online for sympathy. All right, like Village Bicycle is crazy talk. But also it's accurate. It is accurate if you know Pete Davidson's history. Somebody else said if only there was some indication that Pete was an unstable person. If only, if only. And I'm not here to shame this woman, but I do think there is a lesson here for women at large to learn. Just saying now, like I said earlier, that was of course just Elsie's side of the story. And sources close to Pete have now been pushing back. So Page Six wrote about this, they said a source close to the former couple exclusively told Page Six that Pete has been paying for everything related to Elsie and Scotty, including the rent, their living expenses, their health insurance. The insider added of Pete Davidson saying they may have split but all he wants for Elsie is to be happy and in a good place. His main priority right now is making sure that Elsie and Scotty are looked after. So it is utterly confusing to everyone who knows them why she would possibly post anything about him not supporting her. Obviously they have had personal disagreements and there has been a breakdown in the relationship, but he is fully committed to being a good dad. Now. Hopefully he's at least paying for her phone bill. If not, she should look into Pure Talk. Because paying 70 or 80 or $90 a month to Big Wireless for unlimited data is insanity. Especially when PureTalk, which is my wireless company, is going to give you unlimited high speed data for just 34.$99 a month. Now unlimited high speed data at Pure Talk used to start at 55 bucks a month, but because constantly pushing to give you more for less, you can now get that high speed data for just $34.99 a month. So if you've looked at Pure Talk before, cause obviously I've been talking about them for years now. If you did not make the move, check again. Now is your opportunity.

Right now, back to Pete's side of the story. Or I should say the sources close to Pete. I do appreciate that in this article they did not pretend like Pete was totally innocent in the situation, that he was not at fault, that he didn't play some kind of role in the disillusion of the relationship. This person goes on and says a lot of people in Pete's inner circle feel like they've watched this exact emotional cycle happen repeatedly. Again, we could have seen this coming. Throughout his over the years he falls incredibly fast and becomes completely consumed by the excitement and intensity of a new romance. Talking seriously about commitment, marriage and building a future together almost from the beginning, because in that moment he genuinely believes it's what he wants. But once the relationship moves beyond the fantasy stage and starts becoming rooted in real life responsibilities, emotional stability and long term commitment, something seems to shift in him psychologically. This is like I'm getting anxious. This is so terrifying. The pressure of permanence appears to overwhelm him and that's when the insecurities, anxiety and self sabotaging behavior begins creeping in. I mean, like I'm just imagining the situation of having a child with somebody like this. Again, you were in the most vulnerable part of your life. Now you have more responsibility than ever before. This is not even like being in a committed relationship. Now you have a child together, you are intrinsically connected to one another for the rest of your life. A little tiny baby, helpless, innocent human's entire future rests on the two of you and both of your obligations to be responsible to this little human and each other. I mean it's just like ugh. Ugh. Terrifying. Terrifying. Terrifying. And again, this person is not lying. And you do not have to be a source close to Pete Davidson to see this pattern take place. I mean, like this is the man who proposed to Ariana Grande three weeks after they started dating. And allegedly he started seeing her two days after he broke up with his girlfriend of two years that he was dating prior to that I think that it was Larry David's daughter Cassie. Then only two months after he and Ariana broke off their whirlwind six month engagement relationship situation, he was making out with Kate Beckinsale in the most disgusting, gross, tonguey fashion at a Rangers game. He then dated four more women. Four more women, before infamously starting to date Kim Kardashian in 2021, which obviously I talked about that a lot on comment section. That sent Kanye over the edge. That was an insane story. Then there were more and more girlfriends until he finally started dating his baby mama Elise in March of 2025. And allegedly, like I said, getting her pregnant that month. And now we are here. Like again, we could have told you that this was the pattern. We could have told you that this was going to happen. And obviously accidents happen. Happy accidents happen. And I'm glad that they chose to keep this beautiful child instead of making an appointment at a clinic and then bragging about it like so many of their Hollywood peers do. But that blessing, that sweet, beautiful, happy accident would have a far more stable family life. If you really thought critically about the track record of the man you were sleeping with, like, that is how serious it is. And I know it's very commonplace to be casual and sleep around, but there really isn't anything casual about it when you consider that that could become the future father of your daughter. So, yeah, maybe think critically about that situation. Just crazy concept. And also just to make another point, maybe it wasn't an accident. Like based on Pete's history of these like, like fast, passionate relationships, the engagement after three weeks, who knows if it actually was an accident, if you know what I mean. Maybe it was some kind of love bombing, intentional. Let's have a baby right now. I'm so in love with you, I have no idea. But what I will say is that this entire situation, regardless of how they got here, does seem to be a ringing endorsement for having some discernment about who you're sleeping with. Maybe, maybe possibly getting married first, is all I'm saying. And I know that there are people out there who will say, okay, Brett, well, consent to sex isn't consent to pregnancy. It literally is. It literally is. That is my least favorite thing to hear in the entire world. That is cause and effect babies. So please think critically. Protections fail. You can be so careful and it can still fail. So please, let's just be careful because there is an entire baby, human's life that is at risk here. Obviously I want to say, like, I have empathy for any mom, like, even when you are in a happy, stable relationship, even when you are married and this was a child that you wanted and intended, postpartum is still a trip. It is still a trip. So I cannot imagine the way that she is feeling right now. And obviously I feel for the innocent child that is now in the middle of this entire story. But again, maybe, maybe, possibly should have considered the type of relationship, the type of man you were getting involved with. And in the very least, this can be a lesson for others. And if this man's relationship track record was not enough to deter you, maybe his comedy should have been. And this is honestly where things get a lot darker. Because, you know, as we've talked about now, there has been a bunch of he said, she said or she said and sources close to him said. You know, there's conversation about whether he's paying for things or not paying for things, whether she walked out, whether he walked out cheating. But apparently, and this is something that is a little more certain than the other things, something happened at his recent Las Vegas stand up show, and it might have been the straw that broke the camel's back for Elise, AKA his baby mama. Just listen to the joke that Pete Davidson made about his newborn baby daughter.

C
I haven't done stand up in five months because I just had a baby. So, yeah, it's a lot of fun. Had a little girl. It's weird having a little girl. It's hard to watch porn in front of her, but I still took power through. No, it's great.
- [13:44]
A
I mean, you can kind of tell by the audience's reaction that the only person who thought that that was a good joke to make on stage was Pete Davidson himself. I mean, that is just disgusting. It is filth. And I know, I know that Pete Davidson is this edgy comic. He's a guy where nothing's off limits and he talks about drugs and porn and all the things. But you would think, you would think maybe, and maybe this is just, you know, way too hopeful of me, but you would think that a man would maybe draw a line in the sand when it comes to joking about your five month old daughter and your porn habits, bare minimum. And just to like add insult to injury, like talking about porn at all must be so humiliating for his significant other, especially when she is newly postpartum, hormones raging. Your body is so out of whack, you don't feel like yourself. And he's on stage laughing about being with your baby daughter and getting off to somebody else. I mean, like, I listened to that clip and my jaw hit the frickin floor. Like, just so disgusting, so disrespectful on so many levels. And apparently, shockingly, could not have predicted that the mother of his child was pretty pissed off. This was another quote put in the tabloids. Elsie always understood that Pete uses comedy as both a defense mechanism and a way of coping with difficult emotions. So she was used to his dark, provocative style of humor. But this joke landed very differently and felt felt sickening to her because she was already emotionally running on empty after months of sleepless nights, constant stress, and overwhelming realities of caring for a newborn largely on her own while Pete was away working. Quote. To her, it no longer felt like Pete was simply making another edgy standup joke for shock value. It became symbolic of a much bigger emotional disconnect that had been growing between them behind the scenes. Now, I personally would have been a little more black and white there. It was sickening. Not because of an emotional disconnect, even though I'm sure the emotional disconnect was happening, but it was sickening rather because he was talking about watching porn in front of their daughter. Like, I think about all the other edgy comics out there. Like, think about Dave Chappelle. There is nothing that Dave Chappelle will not touch. Whether it is politics, culture, sex, you name it, he's talked about it. But not his daughter, not his family. Think about Bert Kreischer. Bert Kreischer is very open about his wife, their sex life, all of the things. But he has been so open about the fact that his teenage daughters come first that they have veto power. He screens all the jokes. He lets them know what he plans on saying. If they're uncomfortable with something, he pulls it. He knows that he has pushed his family into the spotlight and he respects their feelings about how they want to be perceived. And now you have Pete Davidson, who is not only sexualizing his baby daughter, but embarrassing the mother of that child on stage for a couple of groans in the audience. I mean, it's just disgusting. And of course, yes, he is a new father. He's learning how to navigate that. Hopefully he doesn't do it again. But again, the fact that that would even come into the fact that he's even joking again, it doesn't really seem like a joke about watching porn with his daughter. It says a lot about him. It says a lot about our culture that he felt like that was appropriate, that that was something that he could joke about. Like on every level. It just made me see and like I know that Pete has had his fair share of trauma. It's why people have given him so much grace over the years. I think it's why he is a good comic. I mean, he tragically lost his father in 9 11. He was raised without a dad. He's been in and out of rehab for years. His relationships obviously have not progressed. They haven't ended well either. I have objectively empathy for him because of the things that he has gone through. But I think one of the many lessons that we could take away from this story is that it should be a top priority to figure out your own crap before you have a child. If that innocent child accidentally comes into existence before you do that, then you have approximately 10 months to at least try to figure it out, to try to commit to the relationship, to try to make it work, to try to get on the straight and narrow for your child. But even before any of that, like, first and foremost, in an ideal world, maybe be sure about who you're with and marry them, possibly commit to them before you get knocked up like crazy. Thought here. Can't believe I'm saying this, but Alex Cooper in her pregnancy announcement. She almost looks trash compared to B. Davidson right now, but I'm getting ahead of myself. We'll talk about her in tomorrow's video.
