Supporters are standing up for Pete Davidson following his decision to leave the stage on Friday evening amid "relentless heckling" from the audience.

During his Prehab Tour stop at Steelhouse in Omaha, Nebraska, the former "Saturday Night Live" cast member abruptly ended his performance due to the persistent disruption caused by audience members' refusal to remain quiet.

Where "did decorum go at events because he shouldn't have had to walk off stage because you guys don't understand that because you see crowd work on TikTok that you think every comedian needs to be heckled to the point that they leave stage with one joke left," influencer Katelin Stivers fumed in a video on YouTube Saturday.

"It's just absolutely absurd. You're ruining it for the whole show," she continued. Stivers pointed out that although Davidson, 30, enforced the tour policy of collecting everyone's phones upon entry, she believed it was done for a "good reason."

"There should be no tolerance. ... You need to immediately be kicked ... out," she stated.

Another supporter defended the "Bupkis" actor in reaction to Stivers' video, labeling the incident as "embarrassing."

Expressing disappointment, the attendee remarked that Nebraska failed to provide Davidson with the respect necessary to complete his set. They deemed the situation as embarrassing for Omaha and lamented that it would likely leave a negative impression on the city for the comedian.

This isn't the first time Davidson's tour has been fraught with drama. The tour has been riddled with last-minute cancellations and even abandoning his opening act for his controversial friend Matt Rife's Radio City Music Hall show in February.
