Pete Davidson is reportedly seeing a therapist due to Kanye West’s online bullying and harassment behavior
The 28-year-old former Saturday Night Live star “has been in trauma therapy”
As soon as the news of Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian’s relationship became public, Kanye West embarked on a journey of bullying and harassment against the comedian. Although many thought that Pete was taking the rapper’s behavior as something without importance, sources close to Pete reveal that he is seeking help.
According to People, in April, the 28-year-old former Saturday Night Live star “has been in trauma therapy in large part” due to West’s disturbing posts. “The attention and negativity coming from Kanye and his antics is a trigger for [Pete], and he’s had to seek out help,” the insider says.
The source tells the publications that Davidson “has no regrets for dating Kim and wants it to be made very clear that she’s been nothing but supportive of him throughout their relationship.”
Now that Kim and Pete have broken up after nine months, Davidson is looking forward to the future. “Moving forward he just wants to focus on his career,” the insider adds of Davidson.
It has been a week since the news of the SKIMS founder and the actor decided to go their separate ways. “Part of the reason they split was because of their busy schedules,” an insider told People. “They both travel all the time, and it was hard.”
Kanye, who has been trying to win Kim back, reacted to the breakup by sharing a since-deleted post featuring a fake mockup from a New York Times newspaper with a headline that read, “Skete Davidson Dead at Age 28.”
In the caption, Kanye wrote, “Kid Cudi meant to play funeral but fearful of bottle throwers.”

After the tasteless post, Davidson and Kardashian’s respective teams demanded West remove the image. “His team and Kim’s have reached out repeatedly to Instagram asking to make the platform a safer space,” the insider says, adding that West’s behavior is why Davidson has “been absent from social media.”
“Kim does not tolerate this type of behavior from Kanye,” the source tells People. “She’s upset about the breakup. But the schedule made it so hard, and the fact that they were living in two different cities.”
