Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson took to Instagram to clap back at the haters who said he shouldn't date Ariana Grande because of his mental illness. Read on for more information.
News recently broke that Ariana was dating Pete following her split from Mac Miller. Apparently a lot of trolls were saying the comedian shouldn't date the pop star because of his bipolar disorder, which he's been open about in the past.
But Pete set the record straight on his Insta Story, writing, "Normally I wouldn’t comment on something like this cause like f*ck you. But I been hearing a lot of 'people with bpd can’t be in relationships' talk. I just wanna let you know that’s not true. Just because someone has a mental illness does not mean they can’t be happy and in a relationship."
"It also doesn’t mean that person makes the relationship toxic," he continued. "Everybody is different and there are a lot of treatments for mental illnesses and I have done/am doing all of them. And I encourage those who struggle to seek help as well it has changed my life for the better."

"I just think it’s f*cked up to stigmatize people as crazy and say that they are unable to do stuff that anyone can do," Pete wrote. "It’s not their fault and it’s the wrong way for people to look at things. I may be crazy but at least I’m aware of it and not afraid to be honest about it and I’m not hiding behind a twitter or Instagram account. I’m simply writing this because I want everyone out there who has an illness to know that it’s not true and that anyone who says that is ill and full of sh*t."
He then shared a message for anyone else suffering from mental illness. "Mental illness is not a joke it’s a real thing," he wrote. "There’s kids out there killing themselves. And it’s f*cking horrific. For all those struggling I want you to know that I love you and I understand you and it is going to be okay. That’s all. Love to everyone."
