Friends of Pete Davidson have come to his defense after his ex-girlfriend Elsie Hewitt publicly said she was raising their baby daughter alone.
Following news of the couple’s recent split, the actress posted a video on TikTok in which she mutters about having to work to earn money and doing it on her own, which she described as difficult.
However, an insider close to the former couple hit back at the claims, saying Page six that the allegations are completely false and that the actor is actually paying for absolutely everything.
According to the source, the Bupkis The star currently covers the rent, general living expenses and health insurance for Hewitt and their daughter, Scottie Rose, born December 12.
The source explained that those who know both men are completely baffled by these messages, saying Davidson’s main priority is making sure his family is taken care of.
Despite the breakdown of the relationship and their personal disagreements, the friends insist that Saturday evening The Live alum remains fully committed to being a good father.
The drama unfolded over the weekend when the Industry actress took to social media to ask for help.
Alongside her TikTok video, Hewitt shared a since-deleted Instagram Story looking for an assistant or nanny to serve as her right-hand woman, clarifying that she would only look at candidates who provided a resume.
The public posts quickly divided fans online, with some calling Davidson a deadbeat dad while others defended him by pointing out that he is involved in his daughter’s life and also has to work.
In response to the backlash, Davidson’s entourage maintains that he has rearranged his entire schedule and is doing everything possible to be there, both physically and financially.
They point out that all the comic wants is for Hewitt to be happy and in a good place.
Although the couple has officially called it quits, Davidson’s camp is adamant that he goes above and beyond to be a supportive co-parent, despite the picture painted on social media.
