Model Elsie Hewitt has set the internet ablaze following a series of highly volatile public claims about her turbulent relationship with former Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson.
Taking it directly to her TikTok account to share her side of the story, Hewitt addressed public comments about her appearance in paparazzi photos and stated that she was essentially left to handle the immense pressure of their breakup entirely on her own, claiming: “Yeah, yeah, I know. I’m exhausted, okay? After I left the house looking like it yesterday, I should’ve known that that was gonna happen. But that’s not what I’m thinking now. 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.”
The model, appearing emotional, further alleged that the situation had taken a deep personal toll on her. Hewitt also liked a response from a TikTok user who said that “not staying with your partner” when they are postpartum is “insanely loser behavior.”
The commenter wrote, “I hope you don’t mean 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’re all rooting for you.”
In a since-deleted comment, Hewitt responded: “I am :).”
Team Davidson Fires Back To Categorically Deny Toxic Accusations
The shocking allegations did not sit well with the comedian’s inner circle, who immediately rushed to defend his reputation against the damaging digital narrative.
Strongly pushing back against the model’s public grievances, a source close to the actor spoke directly to PEOPLE magazine and Entertainment Weekly to firmly state that the claims are entirely fabricated.
Asserting Davidson’s innocence after the viral TikTok videos and message, the source stated to the publication that Hewitt’s remarks are: “…objectively and obviously not accurate.”
The person in the know went on to call the claims “confusing and concerning,” revealing: “Pete has made himself extremely available and has provided financial support. Pete is actually covering all Scottie costs and more.”
An additional insider speaking to Page Six supported this, adding that the comedian has footed every bill, including “the rent, their living expenses, their health insurance,” and noting that: “…his main priority right now is making sure that Elsie and Scottie are looked after, so it’s utterly confusing to everyone who knows them why she would possibly post anything about him not supporting her.”
After about a year together and five months after welcoming their baby girl, Scottie, the couple’s romance fell apart due to a “fundamental breakdown in communication.”
Sources told Page Six they barely knew each other, and their contrasting lifestyles made the situation more complicated. Insiders close to the pair explain that the split occurred due to the intense pressure of balancing Davidson’s demanding Hollywood filming and comedy tour schedule with his ongoing recovery, amid the overwhelming, immediate realities of newborn parenthood.
Hollywood Exes Openly Rally Behind Comedian Amid Bitter Legal Backlash
Despite the unfolding media storm, a massive wave of public support has heavily shifted in Davidson’s favor. While the comedian has always been incredibly transparent about his personal battles with mental health issues and substance addiction, the vast majority of his high-profile ex-girlfriends have consistently gone on the record to praise his character, describing him as a generous, deeply loving sweetheart.
Over the years, numerous prominent women from his romantic past have stepped up to echo these exact sentiments:
Kim Kardashian: Following their high-profile split, the media mogul publicly praised his genuine nature, stating that he has the literal biggest heart, is always looking out for others, and is simply a genuinely good, sweet person.
Ariana Grande: Despite their tumultuous, short-lived engagement, the pop star famously called him an amazing, sweet soul and affectionately referred to him as an absolute angel who brought immense joy into her life.
Madelyn Cline and Phoebe Dynevor: Both actresses have spoken publicly and fondly of their time with the comedian, consistently praising his unmatched chivalry, protective nature, and deep respect for the many women he had dated.
