On Monday, December 3, Pete Davidson penned a statement regarding online bullying and mental health, posting it as an image to his Instagram account. In it, he alludes to the vitriol he’s received in the wake of his breakup with Ariana Grande, writing, “I’ve kept my mouth shut. Never mentioned any names, never said a word about anyone or anything.” He goes on, “I’ve been getting online bullied and in public by people for 9 months. I’ve spoken about BPD [borderline personality disorder] and being suicidal publicly only in the hopes that it will help bring awareness and help kids like myself who don’t want to be on this earth.” Find the full statement below.

The next day (December 4), Grande shared Davidson’s statement on her Instagram Story, adding her own note asking her “fans to please be gentler with others,” as The FADER points out. Her message reads:

i know u already know this but i feel i need to remind my fans to please be gentler with others. i really don’t endorse anything but forgiveness and positivity. i care deeply about pete and his health. i’m asking you to please be gentler with others, even on the internet. i’ve learned thru my own mistakes not to be reactive on socials so i do understand. but you truly don’t know what anybody is experiencing ever. regardless of what they choose to display on social media or how they may appear in public. i can promise u that. so please let whatever point you’re trying to make go. I will always have irrevocable love for him and if you’ve gotten any other impression from my recent work, you might have missed the point.

Ariana Grande’s recent single, “thank u, next,” features references to Davidson. Discussing the breakup on “SNL” last month, Davidson said, “The truth is, it’s nobody’s business. Sometimes things just don’t work out. She’s a wonderful, strong person and I wish her all the happiness in the world.”
