When we saw Wicked, I turned to my wife and said “someone needs to fix that girl a sandwich.”
Seriously though, it’s sad to see. No healthy person is that skinny.
Some video of hers came on my spouse’s Spotify just now, and we both said the same exact thing. Except cheeseburger instead of sandwich.
Humans need muscle mass and bone density. Please, it’s ok.
This was petal? The music video was really good. I feel bad for her. She needs help.
Some people in the comments need to read up on what eating disorders are and fix their hearts
Lemmy (and reddit and all of social media) tend to be pretty cruel to anyone who is famous whenever they slip.
Being as rich as she is is already “slipping” to me. I’m sorry, but I don’t feel particularly bad for her.
Ariana Grande is a shitty and classist person, and she’s dying.
It’s baffling to see so many people, not even able to live paycheck to paycheck, foam at the mouth when it’s correctly pointed out she’s dangerously starving. Her dumbfuck cult of a fanbase are witnessing her commit suicide via ED, and scream at anyone pointing it out as “body shaming”.
I mean, this is the same bitch who said she hates Americans because they’re fat (something that correlates to poverty). She also has used her body to sell countless products to young impressionable girls who will never be able to achieve her body size without also engaging in starvation.
This isn’t just a return to the “heroine chick” EDs of the early 2000s, this is going far past that. This is the “3 minutes from dying” chick. This will have dire consequences on young people’s psyche for a whole generation.
I think you got autocorrected from chic to chick.

Thank you
From licking the donut to how pretentious and annoying her and that black chick were on that movie premiere tour to the ultra processed sliced deli meat brand of music she puts out that’s like so much else out there and her thinking she’s something special? I really don’t like her.
She’s an easily influenced influencer. Remember her licking doughnuts as a trend? She was with “friends” at the time.
Similar to Will Smith, she’s a rich kid with a ton of insecurities and lots of bad acquaintances. She’ll keep making mistakes because that kind of negativity leads your thoughts astray easily and you need something grounded to keep you going. I’m not sure she has that something to hold on to.
i feel pity for her of course. also, thanks lemmy o grant me (a 47yo dude, basically listening to either deadmau5 or Motörhead) a peek into today’s pop stars, so that I can have an awareness discussion on this body image thing with my 14yo pop culture sensitive daughter. i don’t think she’s got a body image problem, but good to nail it now.
Protip: if you find something heartbreaking, it is not a shitpost.
Celebrities aren’t real people. They are all part of the Epstein class. Let’s end the worship of celebrity culture!!!
Pro-tip: the community’s description explicitly states: “Anything and everything goes. Memes, Jokes, Vents and Banter.” Consider this a vent.
Also, content policing on a platform as small as Lemmy makes no sense. This also isn’t the first snarky, smart-ass comment you’ve left on my posts, which is also weird.
I try to write what I think directly, no snark or smart assery intended, I just don’t want heartfelt posts about serious stuff mixed up in my genuine shitposts.
Dude or dudette, have a little respect for the shitposting community. This is not a shitpost.
This is a very distressing picture, and a incredibly sad topic.
“shitpost” is generally understood to have humor as one of the defining characteristics.
So, i’m sure you can see that this might make people point out that this might be the wrong area for this, and frankly can seriously harsh someones buzz if they just want to look at some fun memes and get a left hook right in the feels.
Pretty sure the defining quality is the “shit” part of the name. Aka low quality/effort.
Shitposts don’t need to be funny or interesting. Look at the whole corn, jeans or beans posts.
And judging by the amount of both praise and hate she’s getting, I’d argue that Violet is one of the best shitposters in this community.
Don’t particularly care, except for that she is essentially just promoting anorexia to her fanbase of young girls who don’t know better, which is pretty fucked up because Ariana should know better.
The thing is, she most definitely doesn’t know better right now in the depths of anorexia. Anorexia warps your sense of reality and self, and it’s also a competitive disorder (hence, the “flaunting” many people suffering from it do). I mean, in the music video, there’s a note that says “couldn’t hurt to lose a few pounds” while she looks like that, so she’s obviously not in her right mind. I blame her management, executives, team, family, and friends for enabling her.
If you watch the full video though she’s obviously “opposed” to the critique she’s getting from the judges (the note), as she goes full Carrie on them in the end. The other girls celebrate her for it. My takeaway is that the pressure put on women is the men’s fault, and women want to be free of it.
And I’m guessing the contents of the notes are real comments she’s gotten over the years, not self-written notes to her current self. I don’t see how you can read it any other way than this video being about revenge and freedom.
That said, I agree she looks sick and needs to heal from all of the pressure put on her. Obviously it’s affected her a great deal. But I can’t help to read this video as a means to get there, like public therapy, sort of.
I watched it, and I just don’t buy this explanation when, in the same video, she’s purposely wearing stuff meant to accentuate her bones and figure. The “industry critique” aspect of the music video just falls flat. Someone on another platform said it better than I could: the fact that in a gore/horror-themed MV Ariana’s real-life body is the scariest part says it all. Ironically, I think the best “industry critique” is one she didn’t even mean, when she reads the innocuous note, “You bloom wherever you’re planted” (you become famous if, when, where, and how the ones at the top want you to).
So the video accentuates how thin she is, then shows her negative response to the group that told her to be thinner… that all sounds consistent with criticising that kind of commentary to me.
I’m not going to comment on how thin she is, but that explanation seems the most likely, else why would the note be in there at all?
Doesn’t the note sound like the agent from Jeanette’s book?
No, it’s the fact that the video glamorizes how emaciated she is, which is incompatible with seeing “could lose a few pounds” as a negative, since she’s flaunting the end stage of being skinny. You can’t critique something you’re the personification of and trying to paint as normal. “Couldn’t hurt to lose a few pounds” is exactly the deadly lie anorexics tell themselves because of the delusional thinking fueled by their disorder.
But it’s clear to me by now that you’re not engaging in good faith.
I feel like women critique the physical appearance of their peers much more than men do.
Sure, men prop up this system of oppressive beauty standards but women ultimately sustain and engage with it.
Ariana Pequeno now
Actually 🤓 Ariana Piccolo, her surname is from Italian origins
Ariana Venti?
¿sería Pequeña, no?
Sip, se debería usar Pequeña
Si hablas portugués, no. Pequena es pequeña en portugués. O tal vez le falte la ñ en su teclado…
Era el O no A en el respuesta … no hablo nada Portugués
Sí, pero OP usó el género incorrecto.
Ariana Grande’s super fans will shamelessly argue that she’s healthy, nothing’s wrong, and that the elephant in the room shouldn’t even be mentioned
I went to read a few articles after seeing this post. They all cite “fans” criticizing “body-shaming” her for being “too thin”. I don’t think those people ever knew someone who had anorexia or how dangerous this is.
She’s lost so much weight that even her tatts vanished.
Brothers and sisters in christ, in this, the year of our lord two thousand and twenty six WHY THE EVERLOVING HELL ARE EATING DISORDERS STILL A THING?!?! There should be enough celebrity push back on these warped managers and available information about this on the internet to shut down their body shaming bullshit, FFS. Get this chick dinner with Queen Latifah and Sir Mix A Lot STAT. Fried okra, red beans & rice, and some collard greens should do the trick me thinks.
Global eating disorder prevalence increased from 3.5% to 7.8% between 2000 and 2018.
I genuinely believe its worse now than 2018, what with the mass marketing of GLP1 (or similar medicine), and the rise in popularity of the Looksmaxxing bullshit.
The truth is, billion-dollar corporations go out of their way to brainwash the masses that these body types, that are entirely unachievable for the hyper-majority of the population, are THE sex standard. They use this to convince impressionable and desperate people alike to buy buy buy to try to look like this.
The celebrities/models who profit off of it like Ariana Grande are just as guilty. People wanna talk about how EDs warp people’s minds. However, I don’t think its rational to suggest Ariana, and every other major figure, isn’t aware of what they’re doing. She’s made references to it in social media, at least one if her new songs, and always constantly puts emphasis on her exposed bones in front of every available camera.
Yeah it’s so fucked up, sex with someone that skinny is straight up painful, their bones cause bruises on you, there’s nothing sexy about banging a skeleton. Yet, these sick fuckers controlling the media want their stars like this, emaciated and fully under control.
Ah, i see shes aiming for the auschwitz physique.
No one cares about her, she’s just their cash cow. The second pic is from her newest music video, “Petal,” released a few days ago. The fact that a whole team approved a video that’s blatantly pro-ana content (body checking/bonespo) for a mainstream pop star with a young, female fanbase is disgusting. Eating disorders are socially contagious, but I guess all publicity is good publicity to them.
No argument form me, with the introduction of GLPs we have circled back to promoting anorexia to the next generation of young women. Obviously the publisher don’t care about that, same as with any big corporation. The only thing that matters is line going up.
Disgusting.
A body like a doghouse. A bone in every corner.
Thanks, I hate it
Holy fuck thats rough
