Do you think stepping back from the spotlight is the right move for Ariana Grande — and what does this say about the pressure celebrities face today?
Not everyone can have the mentality and ego of the Kardashian family.
The life has gone out of her eyes. Not the same person anymore.
It's not always a case of body-shaming. People care when an artist they love looks unhealthy.
The criticism, shaming…. Right… calling out her BS for lying about her weight loss isn’t shaming, it’s called for accountability. Her eating disorder is now our fault? Geez, these celebrities n their airheads 🙄😒 take responsibilities ffs 🙄😒
Also, I have a friend who is currently bones n skins, n despite me saying u gotta take care of your health, n force/ask her to eat with me, she said she will later. Friends n families sometimes cant do anything, because we aren’t as brutal as the public. But if everyone tells them, maybe, just maybe they seek help. It’s the “we need them to seek help” that is the loudest, not whatever this news segment tries to do, which is PR for Grande to continue to be the public figure with that problematic figure. I don’t want to tell my kids: u shouldnt like her because she herself couldn’t love herself enough to eat 🙄😒
“The fear that you will be forgotten” – ding ding ding! Finally some real issue! With these stars, they have the money n means to seek help if they want to! But this fear of not being famous is what holding them back! This mental Illness is the kind that their airheads brought it to themselves. Do I have no sympathy for them? In a way, yes. They have made enough money, why couldn’t they be happy n sit back n relax n enjoy their money?! Because they have that need for validations 🙄😒 n they will cheat n lie for that validations. Let us be real here!
She worked hard to develop her voice and music. She has every right to walk away for as long as she wants.
Because she's not eating…?
Body Dismorphia isn't recognized by the person it is affecting.
Karen Carpenter thought she was fine.
A sandwich will be healtier for her than leaving the public eye
Seems like the cost of fame costs more than a few sandwiches.
Because she's rich? She can retire anytime she wants
Yeah we get it she’s busy but doesn’t change the fact that she still needs to eat. 100% her BMI is screaming eating disorder
Calling this body shaming is gaslighting. She is clearly suffering from a major eating disorder that might be at the level of life threatening at this point. I hope withdrawing from the public eye will mean she gets the help she needs.
Leave Ariana alone, she is a human being and deserves to be treated with kindness, dignity and respect. I’m rooting for her. Hugs 🫂 darling
