Pete Davidson and PETA appear to have entered their feud era. It all started when Pete and his girlfriend Chase Sui Wonders were photographed buying a puppy at a NYC pet store—prompting PETA’s senior VP of cruelty investigations Daphna Nachminovitch to release a statement.
“It’s tragic that Pete didn’t seek out a borough-born mutt from a city animal shelter because a scrappy New Yorker with charm, personality, and unconventional handsomeness could have been his perfect match,” Nachminovitch told TMZ. “Since shelters in New York and across the country are overflowing with homeless animals, PETA urges Pete to show some big heart energy by adopting, not shopping, in the future.”
It seems Pete didn’t take kindly to this, choosing to leave Nachminovitch a voicemail explaining that he’s allergic to dogs and that the puppy he purchased was for his mother, whose dog recently passed away.
TMZ has the full voicemail over here, where Pete says in part: “Why don’t you do your research before you fucking create news stories for people because you’re a boring tired [expletive]. Fuck you, and suck my dick.”
PETA has since informed TMZ that “If Pete had done his research, he would know that there’s no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog, that at least a quarter of dogs in shelters are purebreds, and that Petfinder has listings for homeless dogs of every breed under the sun, including the one he purchased.”
Meanwhile, Pete told TMZ in part, “I was already upset that the store had filmed me without my permission or acknowledgement. Then this organization (PETA) made a public example of us, making our grieving situation worse. I am upset. It was a poor choice of words. I shouldn’t have said what I said, but I am not sorry for standing up for myself and my family.”
Welp. We didn’t have this battle on our June bingo card.
