Ariana Grande Frowns At Unsolicited Advise On Her Body And Weight

Ariana Grande has urged her fans to refrain from commenting on her or other people’s bodies and to be more considerate in their remarks.

She made this call in a TikTok video where she addressed concerns about her recent weight loss.
The singer stated that her body receives a lot of attention and that some users had compared her current body to her unhealthiest version.

She went on to explain that her unhealthy appearance was due to her being on antidepressants, drinking, and eating poorly, and that it was not a healthy state.

While she acknowledged that she doesn’t have to explain herself, Grande felt that being vulnerable and open might lead to something positive. She concluded that healthy bodies can look different.

She said, “The second thing is, you never know what someone is going through. Even if you are coming from a loving place and a caring place, that person probably is working on it or has a support system that they are working on it with.
“You never know. So be gentle with each other and with yourselves.”

Stressing that “there are many different kinds of beautiful,” Grande suggested fans should avoid making even “well-intentioned” remarks about how “healthy, unhealthy, big, small, this, that, sexy, non-sexy” people may look.

“There are ways to compliment someone or to ignore something that you see that you don’t like, that I think we should help each other work towards,” she said. “We should aim toward being safer, and keeping each other safer.”

Ariana Grande, a pop singer known for hits like One Last Time and Thank U, Next, is also an actress who will play Glinda Upland in the upcoming Wicked film, based on the musical of the same name.

The artist has been open about her struggles with anxiety and mental health issues, particularly following the Manchester Arena attack, where 22 people died after her concert in May 2017.

Like Grande, other stars, such as Selena Gomez, have also dealt with their weight being publicly discussed.

Gomez recently spoke out about how lupus medication causes her to retain water, emphasizing that people should focus on taking care of themselves and not strive to conform to societal beauty standards.
