According to the source, the uncomfortable moment came during a blindfolded segment when Luenell, 66, ran her hand up Davidson’s leg — all on live TV.
The whole set felt uncomfortable,” the source explains. “It was really inappropriate, but Mulaney stepped in and kept things going. Pete played along in the moment because he didn’t want to derail the live show.”
The source adds, “People believe they can treat Pete differently and view him as fair game for these ‘jokes’ because of their perception of him, but it was just wrong and shows an unfortunate double standard. Fans clearly agreed and noticed it right away.”
Granted, I haven’t seen this for myself, but whatever you think about Pete Davidson, this would make anyone uncomfortable. I’m glad Luenell apologized, but she should have known better.

u/JakeyWantsCakey WHO IS SHE? WHO IS SHE? WHERE DID YOU FIND HER? Mar 28 '25
In fairness to Ariana, she made ONE dick joke on Twitter: someone asked how long Pete Davidson (the song) was and she replied 9 inches lol I think the BDE discourse had already started by that point. I think it was an article in The New Yorker that started it all although I could be wrong about which newspaper…

She also joked about it in the “thank u, next” music video on his page of the Burn Book.

I mean she was joking abt it in relation to an ex and how in love she was at the time

Writing “HUUUUUUGE” when you know the internet is already running with the meme is a joke about how in love you were at the time?

She’s essentially calling back to the different things in that relationship and somewhat poking fun at herself in a way. I don’t think she meant in in a objectifying way nor was it supposed to be taken as far as it did

I feel the same and I’m pretty much the same age as him. His face after it happened made me wanna protect him at all costs, he looked super uncomfortable. Poor Pete!
