LIVING UNDER THE harsh glare of the public eye has really taken a toll on Pete Davidson.
In the time since he was first linked with Ariana Grande, comedian Pete has been the subject of much online scrutiny from those who do not know him.
And since the pair announced their split back in October, that scrutiny has only intensified.
While Pete was no stranger to the public before, thanks to his role in Saturday Night Live since 2014, his links to superstar Ariana meant he became a household name around the world in mere months.
The online lashing that has ensued since then has resulted in Pete sharing a number of posts commenting on how it has all impacted his mental health, over a year after he was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.
Earlier this month, Pete responded to a year’s worth of online harassment telling followers that despite their efforts, they would not break him.
“I’m trying to understand how when something happens to a guy, the whole entire world just thrashes him without any facts or frame of reference.
“I just want you guys to know.
No matter how hard the internet or anyone tries to make me kill myself – I won’t.
“I’m upset I even have to say this.”
Those posts escalated last week, when Pete shared a since-deleted note.
Pete Davidson just posted this on his verified Instagram account. If you know him, I hope you’ll give him the love and support he needs. If you don’t, you can still give him support. https://t.co/osNU2MdppUpic.twitter.com/IIlfC38BqY
Pete’s post resulted in a string of online support from fans and fellow celebrities, including former girlfriend Ariana.

Police also confirmed that they met and spoke with Pete for a ‘wellness check’ after the worrying post was shared online.
However, those posts of love and support still sadly struggled to break through the onslaught of cruel trolls.
Pete Davidson ... hang in there. There is a lot of help out here. Surrender to some love some where around you ... today! Right now! And then ... let in the help that will become available. I’m praying for you Pete. I’ve been there. It gets better.
We can be so insensitive. God bless Kanye & Pete. Being flippant about mental illness speaks more about you than them. Stop saying the word love & live it. Love is an action.
However, this weekend, Pete appeared on SNL briefly to introduce musical guest Miley Cyrus and the wave of online support was too great to ignore.
I think tonight’s #SNL show should seriously embrace this moment to really talk about mental illness. Sending love to Pete Davidson. ❤️ you are loved, we need you here. @nbcsnl
Finally, a Pete Davidson sighting as he introduced Miley Cyrus and Mark Ronson for theur 2nd song (The Christmas Song/War Is Over). Great to see him. 👍 #SNL
The only reason I’m watching #SNL tonight is to support the beautiful #PeteDavidson I love you so much! Please please see the good things we are all saying to you! We love you and don’t want you ending your life!
Pete, I wish you knew how much of an impact you have made in my life. Within the past few weeks, your courage has empowered me to face my fears and be honest with myself. You are loved and are incredibly brave ♥️ #PeteDavidson#MentalHealthAwarenesshttps://t.co/jz7sH2QbYp
