Ariana Grande Talks About Body Shaming and Dealing With It

In a touching TikTok video posted on April 11, pop star Ariana Grande discusses her shifting appearance in response to criticism of her physique.
The pop artist explained “what it means to be a person with a body and to be seen and to be paid such close attention to” in response to her body shamers’ “concerns” about her body. Added Grande, “I don’t do this often. I don’t like it. I’m not good at it. I just wanted to address your concerns about my body.”

The former Nickelodeon star responded to her pictures from the previous year by saying, “I know personally for me, the body that you’ve been comparing my current body to was the unhealthiest version of my body. I was on a lot of antidepressants and drinking on them and eating poorly and at the lowest point of my life and when I looked at the way you consider my health. That in fact wasn’t healthy.
