Overview

• In a Breakfast Club interview, Davidson said he was embarrassed and hurt by the obsessive focus on his alleged penis size, noting no one discussed his work.
• He traced the “big d— energy” meme back to Ariana Grande’s offhand 2018 joke on X and subsequent mainstream coverage, including a New York Times mention.
• Friends, family and SNL colleagues noticed that he appeared sad and embarrassed and said the relentless attention made dating and recognition of his work difficult.
• Davidson clarified he does not believe his penis is actually 10 inches long and criticized the gendered double standard that allowed a male celebrity to be sexualized in ways women are not.
• He is now dating Elsie Hewitt and expecting their first child, and says his retreat from the spotlight has helped him handle the emotional fallout.
