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.
โNormally I wouldnโt comment on something like this cause like fโ you. But I been hearing a lot of 'people with bpd canโt be in relationships' talk. I just wanna let you know thatโs not true,โ Davidson wrote in his IG story. โJust because someone has a mental illness does not mean they canโt be happy and in a relationship.โ
He continued: โIt also doesnโt 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.โ
โI just think itโs fโโ up to stigmatize people as crazy and say that they are unable to do stuff that anyone can do. Itโs not their fault and itโs the wrong way for people to look at things,โ 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: โMental illness is not a joke itโs a real thing. Thereโs kids out there killing themselves. And itโs fโโ 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. Thatโs all. Love to everyone.โ Read his note in its entirety below.
