Did Elsie Hewitt Suggest Pete Davidson Is a Deadbeat Dad?
Elsie Hewitt and Pete Davidson managed to keep their relationship drama out of the public eye for a while. Now that the pair have split, though, the facade is coming down. An unfiltered social media upload by Elsie after a seemingly rough day has fans questioning whether Pete Davidson is really putting in the work to be an active father. Insiders claim he’s flummoxed by Elsie’s odd statements, and they are fighting back. Several insiders claim Hewitt’s insinuation is completely untrue. Here is what we know.
Elsie Hewitt fuels feud rumors with an odd TikTok upload
On Saturday, just days after news of her split broke, Elsie Hewitt took to TikTok to comment on negative commentary about her appearance. Elsie, tired and a bit frazzled in the video, discussed how her changing priorities mean she doesn’t always step out of the house polished.
No one would have batted an eye at such comments, but she did seem to throw a bit of shade towards her co-parent when she insisted she was juggling everything, from working and earning a living to caring for her infant, Scottie, “on my own.” The phrasing led lots of followers to assume she was accusing Pete Davidson of being a deadbeat dad. Elsie has left the upload there to amass more views. An additional upload seeking a nanny/assistant seemingly furthered the narrative. That post has since expired. Insiders claim, however, that Davidson is utterly confused by the allegation.
Sources Say Pete Is Paying for Everything
Davidson’s camp was quick to push back hard on the picture Hewitt’s TikTok appeared to paint. A source told Page Six that the comedian has footed every bill for Elsie and baby Scottie, despite the split. The insider alleges that Pete has been paying Elsie’s rent, her health insurance, and all living expenses for both her and their shared daughter.
A second insider told E! News that Davidson is taking full financial responsibility for his ex. While Pete has been busy working, the insider also claims he’s made himself as available as possible. It is unclear just how available he is physically, though, considering his work schedule. When rumors of the pair’s split first circulated, his schedule was blamed for the end of the romance. It is unclear what actually led to the split.
Scottie Rose Davidson was born in December 2025, just around nine months after her parents went public with their romance. Named after Davidson’s father, she is the first child for both. Before dating Davidson, Hewitt was linked to Benny Blanco. Davidson has had a slew of high-profile romances over the years. His famous exes include Kim Kardashian, Cazzie David, and Ariana Grande.
