Luenell’s Awkward Touch Sparks Apology to Pete Davidson on Live TV!

by

Pete Davidson’s latest TV appearance made for an awkward encounter.

Comedian Luenell has issued an apology to a former Saturday Night Live cast member following their appearance on the March 26 episode of John Mulaney’s Netflix talk show, Everyone in English (or Everybody’s Live in short).

During the performance, Luenell, who’s 66, playfully interrogated Pete, aged 31, regarding his romantic past. However, when the star of Borat later slid her hand up Pete’s leg during a subsequent, blindfolded segment, a source near Pete revealed to TopMob News that the incident became somewhat awkward for him.

According to the source, Pete chose to go along with the situation at hand since he aimed to avoid disrupting the ongoing live performance.

Before the segment, Luenell inquired about Pete’s past relationships, including his fleeting romance with Kim Kardashian, expressing amazement over how he manages to date many women. She then jokingly requested a date with him for “research” purposes. It was mentioned that the actor from ‘Bupkis’ found humor in these jokes directed at him.

According to the source, Pete had no problem responding to questions, there was nothing amiss with Kim, and he adores Mulaney. The atmosphere on the set remained jovial among everyone until this incident occurred.

The source also noted that the moment highlighted “an unfortunate double standard.”

The source stated, “People seem to think they can single out Pete and make light of him with these ‘jokes’ based on their impression of him. However, such behavior is clearly inappropriate.

During the segment, Luenell confessed that she playfully touched Pete’s leg, and she apologized for any discomfort caused by the incident.

She expressed to People magazine on March 28 that her actions weren’t intended to upset Pete. She genuinely apologizes for any discomfort caused. She clarified it was all in good fun, and she hopes Pete can forgive her. If given the opportunity, she’s open to going out on a date with him. Furthermore, she assures there won’t be any unwanted physical contact unless he explicitly consents to it.

TopMob News has reached out to his rep for comment on the apology.

In 2015, Davidson had a short-lived relationship with the star of “Girl Code”. Despite their past romantic connection, they have managed to maintain a strong friendship as comedians. They were seen together following one of his comedy performances in February 2019, and Aquilino even appeared alongside him in his movie, “The King of Staten Island”, which was released in 2020.

In her 2020 book of essays titled “No One Asked For This”, Davidson, the daughter of Larry David from the show “Curb Your Enthusiasm”, disclosed many details about her two-and-a-half year relationship with Davidson. They started dating in 2016 and David described them as spiritually connected. However, she acknowledged that Davidson’s mental health issues had impacted their relationship negatively.

Reflecting on past experiences, I’ve found myself teetering on the edge due to seemingly insignificant triggers. It was as if a calm sea could suddenly turn into a stormy abyss in an instant, with the intensity escalating so rapidly that it felt like the final minute of an escape room, where time is running out and there’s no one else to help but me. All the solutions seemed like deceptive clues, leaving me mentally drained, struggling just to emotionally recuperate from the turbulent events of the previous week. However, once I regained my mental equilibrium, I found it difficult to revisit those feelings, as I was too spent from dealing with the emotional upheaval.

In the midst of a family vacation in 2018, she decided to part ways with him. However, in a brief moment of vulnerability, David tried to rekindle their relationship. Yet, she was taken aback when he subsequently texted her, disclosing that he had already moved on.

Two days hence, she logged into Instagram to find that her ex had posted a picture displaying his fresh finger tattoos, hiding his face with one hand, the caption read. Previously inscribed on his ring finger in elegant cursive script, her name had been concealed beneath layers of black ink.

Following their separation, Davidson and David, as well as Ariana Grande and rapper Mac Miller, it was later confirmed by TopMob News that the two celebrities had been seeing each other informally.

However, the situation shifted dramatically when the duo, who had first crossed paths during her hosting stint on Saturday Night Live two years prior, made their relationship Instagram official and got identical tattoos within a month of each other. By June 2018, they were engaged, cohabiting in a $16 million New York City loft, and sharing their life with their adopted pet pig.

In October 2018, their fast-paced relationship concluded, and a separation announcement followed about a month later. This news came shortly after Miller’s untimely death from an overdose at the young age of 26.

Davidson coped with the split by incorporating it into his stand-up routines, whereas Grande expressed her emotions through a successful track and album titled “thank u, next”.

Three months following my separation from Grande, I found myself embarking on a casual relationship with Beckinsale, the renowned actress, as I moved forward in life.

According to our source, due to them residing on different coastlines, their relationship is relaxed. However, they plan to continue their conversations and enjoyable interactions.

Throughout their short-lived relationship, Davidson and the actress from the Underworld series participated in social events, hockey matches, and even dined with Beckinsale’s family. However, their affection cooled after three months, according to a source, who stated that it was just “natural progression,” implying that they remain in contact and maintain a cordial relationship.

In August 2019, speculations about a budding romance between the comedian and the star of “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” ignited when they were both present at the premiere of Margot Qualley’s movie, “Seberg.” Later on, they were observed taking a romantic walk through the city, holding hands.

It was never publicly confirmed by either Davidson or Qualley that they were in a romantic relationship, but her mother, Andie MacDowell, hinted at it during an interview with People. She said, “She has a beautiful relationship with him, but I don’t want to intrude too much on their relationship.” She also added that they have a nice connection.

But the couple called it quits after two months.

In October 2019, Davidson and Gerber – the daughter of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber – started dating and were frequently seen together in New York City, suggesting a strong bond between them.

However, several weeks into their relationship, Kaia’s parents stepped in due to their concerns. A source shared with TopMob News that their aim was to provide guidance for Kaia and assist Pete during a challenging period of his life.

By early 2020, a confidant near Davidson shared with TopMob that his romance with Gerber was becoming less intense because he was focusing on improving his emotional well-being through therapy. A different insider mentioned there was no animosity or conflict between them.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but express hope that my beloved Lady Whistledown didn’t feel dismayed when the paparazzi beat her to the scoop, capturing images of the dashing Davidson with the radiant Bridgerton breakout star in April 2021. The pair were photographed cosying up outside a grocery store and seemingly enjoying a playful walk together in an English field.

During their multi-month relationship, the pair gave numerous hints about being together. They were often seen wearing matching silver necklaces engraved with their shared initials, “PD,” and Davidson referred to the actress as his celebrity crush during a Zoom Q&A session with college students.

She later shared with Elle, “It turned out to be quite naive—I didn’t realize people would take notice,” regarding their experience. “I was merely living my youth, dating, and it seems that sparks conversation. I learned many tough lessons by simply going about my personal life.

According to a reliable source speaking to TopMob News, Davidson is deeply smitten with Phoebe, as evidenced by his frequent travel between New York City and the U.K. This source added that he is eager and enthusiastic about spending time with her.

As I reflect on the summer months, a long-distance relationship that once held promise proved untenable for me and my partner. The distance between us, though initially exciting, ultimately became an insurmountable hurdle. We had our moments of joy, but maintaining such a connection from afar was simply not sustainable in the long run. It was a wonderful chapter in our lives, but we both realized that it was best for us to move forward separately.

For about a year, Davidson and The Kardashians star experienced an exciting journey together. They made their relationship official during a Halloween outing at Knott’s Scary Farm in October 2021, shortly after her SNL hosting stint.

Over the following months, Davidson accompanied Kardashian to Tahiti, appeared on her family’s Hulu reality series, and walked the Met Gala red carpet with her. However, by August 2022, their whirlwind romance had cooled down.

According to a source at TopMob News, despite having “a lot of affection and regard for each other,” New Yorker Davidson and Californian Kardashian found that the distance between them and their busy schedules made it challenging to sustain their relationship.

Discussing the charisma of the comic after collaborating for a 2021 photoshoot campaign, the model expressed her enthusiasm on Late Night With Seth Meyers, stating, “He’s just so charming! He’s endearing. He’s adorable. His nail polish is fantastic, and he looks amazing!” Furthermore, she added that he has a “wonderful relationship with his mom.”

When the self-proclaimed ‘mama’s boy’ contacted her in November, following his separation from Kardashian and her divorce from Sebastian Bear-McClard, she found it amusing to reconnect. As reported by TopMob News at the time, “Emily finds Pete entertaining and they share a playful chemistry.”

Their romantic exploration persisted for several weeks with the author of ‘My Body’ assisting Davidson in celebrating his 29th birthday. However, a source emphasized that neither were seeking a label for their relationship, describing it as “casual.” By December, she was sparking rumors with designer Jack Greer.

Davidson resumed his acting career with a romantic connection in “Bodies Bodies Bodies,” as seen at a New York Rangers game in December 2022 with co-star Rachel Sennott, followed by a date night at Universal Studios Hollywood. As they bonded quickly on the set of “Bodies,” she shared with Nylon in May, “It was evident that we could collaborate exceptionally well.” This mutual understanding led her to rejoin him for another project, starring in his Peacock series “Bupkis” as his on-again, off-again girlfriend.

In a more personal light, she added, “We discuss everything openly and our relationship feels extremely sacred.” However, by late August, it was reported that they had parted ways.

Originating from Las Vegas…the Outer Banks star, who had a past relationship with co-star Chase Stokes, was initially connected to Pete in September 2023, when she traveled to Sin City for the comedian’s standup performance at the Chelsea. According to People, this connection was reported. The duo ended their relationship just months later.

In a similar vein, they haven’t disclosed the origins of their relationship, but Davidson once mentioned on the “Real Ones” podcast that he typically meets his romantic interests through work and has never engaged in direct messages (DMs) with anyone.
