Pete Davidson Makes Brief 'SNL' Appearance After Disturbing Post

-

Pete Davidson only made a brief appearance on Saturday Night Live on Saturday, December 15, and didn’t reference his troubling Instagram post from earlier in the day.

Pete Davidson’s Mental Health Struggle in His Own Words

The comedian was only glimpsed twice during the show, the first time was when he portrayed Rami Malek in a prerecorded segment about auditions for the host of the 2019 Oscars. “Maybe something fun and super high-energy,” he deadpanned.

His next sighting was when he introduced a musical segment featuring Miley Cyrus, Mark Ronson and Sean Ono Lennon performing a cover of John & Yoko/Plastic Ono Band’s “Happy Xmas (War Is Over).”

The low-key appearance came hours after Davidson, 25, posted a distressing message on Instagram, writing, “i really don’t want to be on this earth anymore. i’m doing my best to stay here for you but i actually don’t know how much longer i can last. all i’ve ever tried to do was help people. Just remember i told you so.” He subsequently deleted the post as well as his account.

Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson: The Way They Were

The post came after the comedian slammed his ex-fiancée, Ariana Grande, for tweeting about Kanye West‘s feud with Drake and referenced the “Famous” rapper’s mental health, prompting a response from West.

“Bravo Kanye West for standing up for yourself and speaking out against mental health. I can’t explain to you enough how difficult and scary it is to be honest about stuff like this,” wrote Davidson, who has been open about his own diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. “We need people like Kanye. No one should ever point fingers at you for your bravery in speaking about mental health. I’m seriously disgusted.”

Grande, who split with Davidson in October after a four-month-long engagement, had jokingly asked Drake and West to stop feuding on Twitter because she and Cyrus were releasing new music on Thursday, December 13. She later apologized for her remarks.

Celebs Fight Back on Social Media

The New York Police Department conducted a wellness check on Davidson after his post went viral, and Grande tweeted that she was trying to see her ex.

In a now-deleted message, she wrote that she was waiting “downstairs” for Davidson, presumably at the SNL studios in Manhattan, where he was rehearsing for the show.

“I’m not going anywhere if you need anyone or anything,” the “Thank U, Next” singer, wrote. “I know u have everyone u need and that’s not me, but I’m here too.”

Celebs including Nicki Minaj and Sophia Bush tweeted messages of support for Davidson, with his friend Machine Gun Kelly revealing that he was flying to NYC to check on his pal.

Luann de Lesseps’ Ups and Downs: A Timeline of the 'RHONY' Star’s Struggles “This season, for me, is about redemption. After what I’d been through the last couple years — which has been hell — and then, before that, divorce, I just feel like this is the season where you get to see me shine,” the reality star, 54, says on the latest episode of the “Getting Real With the Housewives” podcast. “I thought I could shine last season. I just couldn’t because there was just so much that the women didn’t understand about me and what I was going through.” She explains that last season the cast thought she was “being narcissistic,” but it was harder than they thought, not drinking with them when she was on probation.
