Pete Davidson Dragged For Jokes About Ariana Grande Concert Bombing

If you've been following Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande's relationship, you know that things have been speeding along very quickly. Not only did Pete get tattoos inspired by his new love, but he also asked the singer to be his wife, and she said yes. However, when a couple gets engaged so quickly, there is no way they can know as much about each other as couples who wait a little before taking things to the next level, and things might come out that could lead to some tough conversations. That's probably just happened for the two lovebirds. 

Just months after a suicide bomber killed 22 people and injured 59 others at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, Pete joked about the tragedy during a stand-up show. The SNL star was performing at LA's Laugh Factory and remarked that Grande must now know how famous she's gotten because, "Britney Spears didn't have a terrorist attack at her concert." 

Twitter hasn't been thrilled to hear about the off-color comment. 

Even more upset than the people on Twitter are the families of the victims. One woman, Charlotte Hodgson, whose 15-year-old daughter was killed in the attack, told The Sun, "For anyone to joke about this situation is disgusting and I think he should publicly apologize for it. For someone so famous to be doing it and now to be with Ariana, it’s outrageous. I think she would be horrified too."

As for how the joke was received at the comedy club, it apparently fell flat because there were some British tourists in the audience that day. 

Ariana, who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder because of the bombing, hasn't commented on the joke. Meanwhile, Pete's reps defending him, claiming, "He is a comedian. No subject is off limits and that includes jokes about his father and 9/11." Pete's dad, a firefighter, was killed on 9/11.
