Vogue Williams Slams Pete Davidson for 'Misogynistic' Comments About Young Women

Vogue Williams has accused comedian Pete Davidson of misogyny for his recent comments about young women who earn money as influencers. Williams, a presenter and content creator herself, called Davidson "bitter and jealous" for mocking women who post videos of their daily routines online.

Speaking on her "My Therapist Ghosted Me" podcast, Williams questioned Davidson's remarks, particularly his hypocrisy given his previous relationship with reality television star Kim Kardashian, whom she described as the "biggest influencer in the entire world."

"It kind of annoys me, obviously, because I dabble in a little bit of the content creation myself," Williams stated. "And I just think people just s*** on it without even knowing anything about it. As well, he was going out with the biggest influencer in the entire world, Kim Kardashian, and he's just slagging everybody off."

Davidson, in a video interview with Variety, had questioned the financial success of influencers, particularly those who film themselves getting ready or dancing on platforms like TikTok. He described the phenomenon as "insane and lame" and questioned the value of their content, asking, "Who the f* are you? What do you do? Nothing."

Co-host Joanne McNally highlighted that Davidson specifically referred to "girls," not just influencers in general, suggesting a gendered critique. McNally also pointed out the disparity between Davidson's criticism and his own career, which involves monetizing his personality through stand-up and brand endorsements.

"Pete, all you do is monetise your personality. That's stand-up - monetising your personality. You're doing the exact same thing," McNally said. "But for some reason, girls having confidence on the internet and believing in themselves and putting themselves out there really bothers me. What's that about?"

Williams added that if Davidson believes the work of influencers shouldn't be paid, it doesn't negate the reality of their earnings or the legitimacy of their content creation.

Davidson's comments have drawn criticism from other female content creators, including OnlyFans star Sophie Rain, who challenged him to try making a living as an influencer himself.

This is not the first time Williams has publicly criticized male celebrities on her podcast. In July, she condemned MMA fighter Conor McGregor, calling him "heinous" after he was found civilly liable for sexual assault. She questioned his continued popularity despite the allegations and the civil ruling.

Williams also expressed disappointment in Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis for dating significantly younger women, noting a 33-year age gap with his current girlfriend and referencing his past relationship with a 19-year-old model when he was in his early 50s. Additionally, she has called out Usher for his public support of convicted criminals Chris Brown and P. Diddy.
