We recently learned that Ariana Grande and comedian Pete Davidson were dating. However, some people think that isn't a good idea.
On Thursday (May 24) evening, Davidson went on Instagram and accused some of Grande's fans of bashing him because he suffers from a mental illness known as Borderline Personality Order. According to the comedian, these fans were saying that due to his illness, he shouldn't be dating anyone, especially Grande. But, Davidson had something to say right back to these critics.
âNormally I wouldnât comment on something like this cause like fâ you. But I been hearing a lot of 'people with bpd canât be in relationships' talk. I just wanna let you know thatâs not true,â Davidson wrote in his IG story. âJust because someone has a mental illness does not mean they canât be happy and in a relationship.â
He continued: âIt also doesnât mean that person makes the relationship toxic. 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.â
âI just think itâs fââ up to stigmatize people as crazy and say that they are unable to do stuff that anyone can do. Itâs not their fault and itâs the wrong way for people to look at things,â Davidson added.
The comedian's message to continue to tell other people who battle mental illness not to listen to these naysayers. Davidson closed his message: âMental illness is not a joke itâs a real thing. Thereâs kids out there killing themselves. And itâs fââ 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. Thatâs all. Love to everyone.â Read his note in its entirety below.
