Is there trouble ahead for Pete Davidson after Elsie Hewitt’s accusation?

Elsie Hewitt and Pete Davidson’s split raises custody concerns after deleted social media post about financial support

Comedian Pete Davidson and model Elsie Hewitt have reportedly split just months after the birth of their daughter, Scottie Rose, amid growing scrutiny over their co-parenting situation and online activity.

According to RadarOnline, tensions between the former couple escalated after Hewitt posted a series of comments on social media suggesting she was financially supporting their child on her own. The remarks, made on TikTok and later deleted, quickly circulated online and sparked public debate about the couple’s custody arrangement.

In the now-removed posts, Hewitt said she was “doing it on my own” while managing life as a new mother and continuing her work commitments. The comments led to speculation about Davidson’s role in supporting their daughter, although sources close to the comedian have denied the implication, claiming he has been fully involved and financially supportive.

Legal experts told RadarOnline that even deleted social media statements could potentially influence custody proceedings. Family law attorney Frank L. Perrone Jr. explained that courts may consider public comments when assessing co-parenting behaviour, particularly if they suggest conflict or undermining of the other parent.

He added that judges are especially attentive to signs of parental alienation and may evaluate whether each parent is acting in the child’s best interests. In some cases, such statements can be introduced as evidence during custody disputes.

The report also noted that non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) are sometimes used in high-conflict separations to limit public discussion of co-parenting issues. Such agreements can help reduce disputes and maintain privacy, particularly in cases involving public figures.

The situation remains unresolved, with both sides reportedly focusing on arrangements for their daughter as legal and personal tensions continue to unfold.
