Pete Davidson spoke about how “traumatic” it was when the world incessantly made jokes about his manhood.
The comedian, 31, who is expecting his first child with girlfriend Elsie Hewitt, appeared on The Breakfast Club this week.
He addressed rumors about his “big d*** energy” and how the size of his genitals became fodder for tabloids.
While on the show, the comedian candidly spoke about his time on Saturday Night Live and how his dating life was constantly spurring headlines.
“I brought a lot of pop culture into the show, like I made it [a] sort of tabloidly, trendy thing unintentionally,” he said.

“Also, I was embarrassed by it because … no one talked about any work I was doing. They were just like, ‘Oh, that’s the f*** stick.’ And that hurt so much,” he added.
While no one was “outrightly mean” towards him, the King of Staten Island actor was still affected by the attention.
His SNL castmates would notice how “sad” and “embarrassed” he was by it.
