“I’ve kept my mouth shut. Never mentioned any names, never said a word about anyone or anything,” the 25-year-old began on Monday, December 3, via Instagram. “I’m trying to understand how when something happens to a guy the whole entire world just trashes him without any facts or frame of reference. Especially in today’s climate where everybody loves to be offended and upset it truly is mind boggling.”

“I’ve been getting online bullied and in public by people for 9 months,” Davidson, who previously revealed he was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, wrote on Monday. “I’ve spoken about BPD and being suicidal publicly in the hopes that it will help bring awareness and help kids like myself who don’t want to be on this earth. I just want you guys to know. No matter how hard the internet or anyone tries to make me kill myself. I won’t.”

He concluded: “I’m upset I even have to say this. To all those holding me down and seeing this for what it is — I see you and I love you. Pete.”

A source told Us exclusively that Davidson is “in a good place” and “dating again.” 

“He’s not in a rush. He’s focusing on himself and the future,” the source noted on Monday. A second insider added that the Set It Up star recently joined a dating app.

Grande, meanwhile, made headlines on Sunday, December 2, for tweeting that “true love doesn’t exist” after her split from Davidson.
