Pete Davidson recently made the news because he was caught on video pushing a fan who got too close to him at Madison Square Garden after a New York Knicks NBA playoff win
Since then, people are talking about the event all over social media.
The Daily Mail says that the 29-year-old comic was sitting next to fellow comedian Jon Stewart courtside at Madison Square Garden on Sunday afternoon when the New York Knicks beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in a big playoff game. After the game, Davidson posed with a lot of fans and was taking selfies on their phones when another man came up and put his arm around the comic.

At first, Davidson didn’t say anything, but when the man kept coming closer, Davidson pushed him away. Clique Productions caught the event on video, and many people have since shared it on social media sites.
Even though the man moved back when Davidson pushed him, Davidson could be seen shaking his head and looking angry that the fan got too close. After what happened, it’s not clear if the fan was asked to leave the building.

Pete Davidson hasn’t talked about the event in public yet, but the comedian was all smiles during the game, which the Knicks won 102-93 to take a commanding 3-1 lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The situation shows how important personal space and privacy are for people in the public eye. Even though fans may feel close to or connected to their favourite celebrities, it is important to remember that everyone has the right to personal space and limits.
Importance of respecting boundaries and privacy
This isn’t the first time a famous person has had to deal with people getting too close or getting in their way. Many famous people have talked about how important it is to respect limits and privacy, especially now that it’s easier than ever for fans to connect with their favourite stars through social media.
The fact that Pete Davidson will be hosting Saturday Night Live soon has also been in the news. The comedian will talk about his new Peacock series, Bupkis, which is partly based on his life and comes out on May 4. After a two-week break, he will lead the May 6 episode with Lil Uzi Vert as the musical guest.
