Kim Kardashian is facing criticism from fans who believe she put her four children in a perilous situation following her ex Pete Davidson’s shocking confession in his Netflix comedy special, Turbo Fonzarelli. The uproar began as Davidson, 30, revealed that he had been high on Ketamine during Aretha Franklin’s funeral in August 2018, a revelation that didn’t sit well with Kardashian’s supporters.
In his standup routine, Davidson candidly admitted, “I had to stop doing hard drugs because [you] can’t be a drug addict in your 30s, you know? Doing drugs in your 20s is fine. It’s like an excuse. You’re like: ‘I’m finding myself.’ It’s cute, you know?” as per The Sun. This revelation sparked a social media backlash as critics speculated about the timeline, assuming that Davidson may have been under the influence during his nine-month relationship with Kardashian. One online critic sarcastically remarked, “Oh my word, somebody in Hollywood was high around children? Say it ain’t so!” while another added, “I wouldn’t want him driving my kid around, but I definitely think there are different levels of how messed up he couldn’t have been.” The concerns escalated as a third critic stated, “Children should not be left in the care of someone who is under the influence of horse tranquilizer, therapeutic or otherwise.”
Criticism surrounding Kardashian decision to have Davidson, around her children is still ongoing as another individual expressed disapproval. They exclaimed, “UGH! Sounds like Kim put the kids in a dangerous situation.” Another person raised a scenario that questioned the Kardashians’ judgment by asking, “Where would Kim run off to? Would she leave Pete with her kids unsupervised?” All these comments raise grave concern, which is regarding Davidson and his substance habits. Adding to the controversy is the history between Kardashian and Davidson. Their first kiss took place in October 2021 when Kardashian hosted Saturday Night Live. They attended the Met Gala in May 2022. However, their relationship came to an end in August 2023 as they decided to remain friends due, to challenges posed by their schedules and long distances as reported by E News.
