After taking a hiatus from Instagram for more than four months, Pete Davidson made his return to the social platform on November 28 to promote his forthcoming film Big Time Adolescence. But almost immediately after he shared a 7-part photo carousel of himself and his costars, Ariana Grande, users (including, unsurprisingly, Perez Hilton) saw the pictures as an opportunity to harass her ex-fiancé by using lyrics from Ari's breakup anthem.

So, they began spamming the post with comments reading "Thank u, next." (The song mentions Pete by name as one of the exes she's "thankful" for; the two called off their engagement in October.)

Yet doing so seemingly ignores a few crucial details, including the fact that the pictures Pete posted had nothing to do with Ariana. The post included snapshots of Pete along with costars like Machine Gun Kelly, with the caption, ”See you at sundance muthf*ckas." Moreover, it's never OK to harass someone on social media, regardless of whether they are famous or not.

What's more, bombarding Pete's Instagram with "Thank u, next" just isn't in the spirit of the song, which is about thanking your exes for what they meant to you at the time, and then moving on and taking care of yourself. As one fan pointed out on Pete’s post, “Wtf is up with all this [sic] thank you, next comments? didn’t ariana tried [sic] to put something positive out? smh."

Some users have already criticized the fandom’s actions, dubbing them "childish" and "terrifying." "Bruh you better turn off the comments lmao 'thank you next' x1000,” one user commented after seeing the overwhelming amount of comments.

Even Ari's manager, Scooter Braun, felt the need to step in: "Stop the bullsh*t. It is nothing like that and Pete is a good dude. No one has hate for this guy and he is a stand up guy. Show respect because trust me everyone on this side knows he deserves it and wishes him well," Scooter wrote in response to a fan's remarks on Pete's Instagram.

This isn't the first time Pete has faced comments like these; that kind of harassment is part of the reason the comedian took a break from social media in the first place. And in July, Pete wiped his Instagram clean, saying that the negative comments were getting to be a bit too much for him to handle.
