Early this year, Pete Davidson turned a lot of heads when he made an inappropriate joke about his daughter, Scottie, who was born in December of last year.
And, now Pete has caught the attention of millions of people again, specifically women, with a comment he made during a new Variety "Ask a Local" interview.
In the clip, he shares his true feelings about people who make money on social media and addresses women influencers in particular. He says, "It's bad, and it makes me sad, you know. And girls are just talking to themselves on there, and they're like, 'Okay, come get ready with me.' And I'm like, 'Who the fuck are you? What do you do? Nothing. What the fuck is this?'"
"They make 40 million a year. What? And then I'm like, 'The world's broken,'" he adds.
Pete continues, saying, "There's girls my age that go on TikTok, and they'll, like, mutter like a thing and then do this, like, dance. And I'm like, 'What the fuck are you doing?' This is insane. Does no one else see how fucking insane and lame this is? And these girls are, like, super famous. Like, everyone's like, 'Oh my god, I can't believe.'"
He then goes on to share how seeing these videos is the first time he's felt "really old." But he also makes additional remarks about how influencers make him view his own career: "I do think about it, like, once a week. I'm like, should I just start an OnlyFans and show soft cock, like really tight underwear, and just soft cock and retire, or just keep, you know, keep trying? I don't know. You know, if it all goes to fail, I could just soft cock it. We all could. We can soft cock it."
