Pete Davidson‘s mom, Amy Davidson, is devoted to her son — so devoted that she once made a burner account to clap back at trolls complaining about his Saturday Night Live performances.“My mom used to have a fake Twitter account when I first got SNL,” the comedian, 29, revealed on the Wednesday, June 28, episode of “Family Trips With the Meyers Brothers” podcast. “It was, like, my second or third year, and it was a lot of ‘he’s not useful’ typical Twitter comments, and my mom made a f–king fake Twitter account under the name @JoeSmith1355 and would respond to everyone.”Pete went on to joke that his mom’s replies were far too detailed to seem like they were really coming from someone who didn’t know him. “It was so specific,” he explained to host Seth Meyers. “Like, ‘Actually, I heard he’s working on himself and does that quite often.'”Despite her best efforts, Amy’s bit was eventually discovered because she failed to make all of her account’s details pseudonymous.“This was the kicker.

So, it was a picture of my mom, with a name that said @JoeSmith1355, commenting on all these haters. … She got my back, dude.”Pete, who starred on SNL from 2014 to 2022, also revealed that his mom used to attend the show’s famous afterparties — and occasionally went to them without him so she could see her own friends, including Kenan Thompson‘s mother.In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies“Her mom energy is very transferable to people who are not her children,” Meyers, 49, quipped of Amy. “You get a nice mom hit off
