Comedians are always viewed as the happy and worry-free types of people because of their outgoing personality and their personable stature. People don’t realize that they are human too and feel the same things everyone feels: anger, sadness, pain and everything else. It almost seems wrong and not normal to see a comedian down on oneself but that is how society views them. Pete Davidson took to Instagram to let out a cry for help, to show people he is human and he is not okay. Following the break-up between him and Ariana Grande, Pete received many hatred comments and tweets shaming him and bashing on him as a person. His post on Instagram read, “i really don’t want to be on this earth anymore. i’m doing my best to stay here for you but don’t know how much longer I could last. all i’ve ever tried to do was help people. just remember i told you so<3” This is the power the media has on celebrities.
