I actually DO think I’m smarter than everyone that repeatedly falls for online smear campaigns against women

alright. let’s say ariana came onto social media tomorrow and said, “you were all correct. i do infact have an eating disorder.” then what? what exactly do people think their job is after that? she’s a global celebrity, not someone’s fucking neighbour. she has family. friends. a management team. a record label. doctors. people who ACTUALLY know her. fans are consumers. they are observers. they are not her treatment team, and acting as though it’s the internet’s responsibility to diagnose and manage the health of a woman they’ve never met and know nothing about is absolutely absurd. people keep acting as though posting “she looks like she’s dying” or “she’s way too skinny” is some noble act of awareness, but if she were genuinely suffering from an eating disorder, there’s a very real possibility that this kind of obsessive public scrutiny would be harmful rather than helpful. recovery from an eating disorder isn’t fuelled by millions of strangers analysing your body from every conceivable angle and in MOST cases, having your appearance constantly dissected becomes part of the disorder itself, reinforcing an unhealthy fixation on weight, shape, and external validation. so please, enlighten me, what is actually being achieved by turning “is ariana grande too skinny?” into a weekly trending topic? IF the concern is sincere (and i really truly doubt it is), saying it once is enough. after that, it stops reading as concern and starts reading as malice. there is a difference between expressing concern and endlessly consuming someone’s body as a topic of entertainment. i am so fucking sick to death of strangers on the internet who are convinced they have both the authority and the obligation to comment on a woman’s body every single day. THIS IS NOT ADVOCACY.

“why aren’t people talking about ariana’s weight loss” and it’s been the only conversation that’s been had about ariana for the last 1600 days and 1600 nights

this keeps happening w my irls too. not an hour ago someone told me “she’s too skinny” “she said she was healthy” expecting me to have an answer/opinion like what are we supposed to say? and it’s not like anyone is coming from a place of empathy. it’s all cruel gossip to them.

“even if you are coming from a loving and caring place, that person is probably working on it, or has a support system that they are working on it with.” this part of the video almost never gets mentioned but it’s so important. none of us know anything, leave her alone already

Someone’s mental health is not your clickbait. You are not concerned, you want attention. You want to be vindicated at the expense of someone who could be suffering. You are a vulture. You are disgusting.

wether i think ariana looks healthy, or not, i simply will never comment on it, neither positive nor negatively, just won't comment on it cause she's been saying for the past three years to STOP COMMENTING ON HER BODY. She didn't ask anyone to defend or romanticize it.

bringing this back

the conversation around her body and looks has always been the same. some of you weren’t there. they were calling her “fat” and criticizing the ponytail/oversized sweaters. not to mention everyone claiming she wanted to be a different race.

just a reminder - even for those who claim to be coming from a good place 🤍

I honestly don't think I'll ever understand the "Ariana needs to belt more" discourse, the whole world knows that this woman can sing, she doesn't need to prove anything to anyone anymore 13 years into her career. Vocal gymnastics aren't necessary all the time.

Sputnik Music gives Ariana Grande’s ‘petal’ a superb rating of 90/100. “It drops all of the fluff and needless fanfare, instead focusing on crafting something emotionally intelligent, beautifully arranged, and centered around Ariana’s timeless vocals.”

petal (the song) is genuinely a completely different experience in the car

i need a making of petal documentary please @rembeauty @katiatemkin

why hasn’t apple music released the full petal interview

PETAL BY ARIANA GRANDE

I love how this is the opposite of Yes, And? At first, she was trying to be nice about the things people were saying about her. But with Petal, she's finally telling y'all she hates you bitches

So BASICALLY she can NEVER win, and is very tired of y’alls SHIT.

like why are people complaining about her not belting lmao she has nothing to prove as a vocalist they need to let her explore different parts of her range

Ariana just dropped a beautiful album about her relationship with the general public and how they’ve mistreated her for half a decade. and those same people are going to claim its just about a boy and completely miss the point. misogyny is crazy
