In recent months, several videos have gone viral on TikTok in which people have been discussing Ariana Grande’s body and comparing her current weight to her previous weight. Many of the videos have been posted by fans who claim that they are concerned about Ariana’s health. In spite of people’s intent, the conversation has sadly fallen into a form of body-shaming.
Now, Ariana has addressed the comments and suggested that people should stop commenting on other people’s bodies.
Ariana Grande addresses concerns about her body
Taking to TikTok, Ariana posted a video in which she stated: “I think we should be gentler and less comfortable commenting on people’s bodies. If you think you’re saying something good or well-intentioned, whatever it is… Healthy, unhealthy, big, small, this, that, sexy, not sexy… We just shouldn’t. We should really work towards not doing that as much.”
Discussing her own weight, Ariana added: “The body that you’ve been comparing my current body to was the unhealthiest version of my body.” She explained: “I was on a lot of antidepressants and drinking on them and eating poorly and at the lowest point of my life when I looked the way you consider my healthy. But that, in fact, that wasn’t my healthy.”
Asking for fans to be more compassionate, Ariana ended by saying: “You never know what someone is going through, so 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.”
In her video, Ariana also said: “There are many different ways to look healthy and beautiful.”
We couldn’t put it better ourselves.
