Pete Davidson Fires Back: Friends Deny Negligence Claims Amid Elsie Hewitt Drama

Friends Stand Up for Pete

Pete Davidson's inner circle is rallying to his defense after his former flame, Elsie Hewitt, made a public plea for help in caring for their baby daughter. Just days after their breakup hit the headlines, friends of the comedian are setting the record straight. According to a source close to the couple, Pete has been footing the bill for everything related to Elsie and their daughter, Scottie. "They might be apart, but all Pete wants is for Elsie to be happy and in a good place," the insider shared.

“Pete is doing everything to be super supportive to Elsie, he’s changed his schedule, and done everything he can to be there physically and financially so Elsie can feel supported,” they concluded.

Elsie's Public Plea

Despite these assurances, Elsie took to Instagram with a now-deleted post seeking assistance in her new role as a mom. She even posted a whimsical selfie covered in lipstick marks, hinting at her need for a helping hand. The actress also uploaded a TikTok video, whispering about the challenges of being a single working mom, which sparked mixed reactions from fans.

The Breakup Buzz

News of the couple's split has been buzzing since last week, with reports that Elsie was seeking more support at home from Pete. "It's been tough for Pete," a source revealed, noting his demanding work schedule. Despite their attempts to work things out, it seems the "King of Staten Island" star and the "Industry" actress are officially done, focusing on co-parenting Scottie. The comedian is currently looking to sell their shared home in Salem, New York, as they both move on with their lives.
