After nine months of highs and a lot of lows, the strange romance of Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian finally came to an end last week. 

And what a wild celebrity relationship it was while it lasted: Kim’s ex, Kanye West, cyber bullied and cyber stalked the pair; Pete decided to get an ill-fated tattoo of Kim and her kid’s initials; Kim revealed on her reality show that she basically got together with the Saturday Night Live comedian because he had “BDE.”

And following Pete and Kim’s relationship ending, Ye has been back at his old cyberbullying tricks. The rapper mourned the fake death of the comedian by sharing a doctored New York Times front page on Instagram. “SKETE DAVIDSON DEAD AT AGE 28,” it read. Tremendously normal behaviour from one of the world’s biggest musicians and father of four.

And as per People, Pete is now in “trauma therapy”, mainly as a way to cope with Ye’s repeated public attacks on him. According to several sources, he’s sought out this therapy all the way back in April.

“The attention and negativity coming from Kanye and his antics is a trigger for (Pete), and he’s had to seek out help,” an insider told People.

It’s not all bad news for Pete though. As reported by E!, the end of the pair’s relationship isn’t actually the end of Kim and Pete, with the duo reportedly deciding to remain friends.

And he really might need his former partner’s support if Kanye keeps up such behaviour. “Kim is livid and incredibly upset … Kanye is back to his old ways and Kim will not tolerate his bullying behaviour towards the people she loves and cares about,” a source said to Page Six.

Pete and Ye haven’t commented publicly on the situation yet. More to come.
