Ashley Benson And Brandon Davis Have Been A Thing For A Few Months
E! Online reports that Ashley Benson and Brandon Davis are dating, and a source claims they’re “really into each other.” Brandon Davis… Brandon Davis… why does that name ring a bell? WAIT. Brandon “Greasy Bear” Davis? Paris Hilton’s scumbag sidekick from the mid-2000s? Brother to Jason Davis (RIP)? The billionaire oil heir who proudly informed the paps that Lindsay Lohan was a firecrotch who came freckles?! Ashley Benson’s friends, assemble! Your girl is in dire straits.
Apparently, 33-year-old Ashley and 43-year-old Brandon have been a thing for a few months. They were photographed together at the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Miami Heat game on January 4, and Brandon was spotted resting his arm on Ashley’s leg. Soon after, the pair were papped leaving celebrity agent Cade Hudson’s birthday party with Brandon’s bestie Paris Hilton. Then, last Wednesday, Brandon and Ashley went on a double date with Emma Roberts and her boyfriend Cody John. Here are some pics and footage. Please note Brandon is all grown up and serving us Handsome Squidward:

A source tells People that Brandon and Ashley have a lot of mutual friends and “are both super fun and very social people.” Oh. We are well aware that Brandon is a social butterfly. I’m pretty sure that dude has lived at the clerb (club) since 1999. In his Y2K heyday, he dated Avril Lavigne, Mischa Barton, Brittny Gastineau, and Miranda Kerr. As for Ashley, she spent the last few years dating, dumping, and reconciling with rapper G-Eazy. Before that, she was with Cara Delevigne. Hmmmm… what do Brandon, G-Eazy, and Cara have in common? I think you can put two and two together…
Speaking of which, Brandon has struggled with addiction and legal issues for many year. He went to rehab for cocaine and alcohol abuse in 2001 and again in 2006. In 2011, he was arrested and charged with felony coke possession and battery after punching comedian Ben Gleib at the Roosevelt Hotel. He pled guilty and had to complete a drug diversion program. Three years later, Baywatch’s Jeremy Jackson accused Brandon, Paris, and their friends of attacking him at a party. In 2015, Brandon was arrested and charged again after crashing his car while drinking and driving (his blood alcohol level was almost twice the legal limit). He pled no contest to the DUI and completed 3 years of probation. Brandon’s brother, Jason, passed in 2020. He struggled with heroin, OxyContin, and Xanax addiction. It was eventually reported that the 35-year-old had accidentally died from the effects of Fentanyl. Sad.
Man, all this Brandon Davis talk has me yearning for a simpler time, when “celebrities” didn’t bother hiding the fact that they were genuinely horrible people. Ladies and gentlemen… the Firecrotch Monologues, circa 2006:
