I developed an ED because of people’s comments about how thin I was. I can’t see how this discourse about Ariana or Bella or Alexa Demie etc is doing anything but making the situation worse. :( I wish people were more gentle with women I feel bad

As someone who developed anorexia I think it’s normal for people to mention it especially with the level of fame she is on. People are only being concerned and trying to let her know, but die hard fans are trying to shut them up which doesn’t help Ariana. I don’t like Ariana personally, but she definitely needs to try to look in the mirror for real and see that she’s hurting herself and affecting young people who look up to her who want to be her.

I think this is a lot better than calling her body tea orwhatever. Many women in the Hollywood industry right now are dealing with this Ozempic shit and as our body positive queens are fading out and little girl are trying to get a clavicle as prominent as them- we should not be calling them hot and to die for because people will die for it. I think letting people continue to idolize an unrealistic body standard w/out noting the fact that it is not healthy is a lot worse.

i’m only gonna say this one time. if you or anyone else was genuinely “concerned” you would keep your comments to yourself. explain to me how pointing out multiple times how skinny she is gonna help her? and to blame fans as well is ridiculous bc they can’t do anything. whatever ariana has going on behind the scenes is her business and she has lovely friends and family to help her with that. your think pieces and fake concerns are only for likes and views. you’re genuinely doing nothing.

i wish ppl would stop acting like having an eating disorder is something to be cancelled for or belittled over. it’s an illness and you should be more kind now than ever. i’m sure she’s not actively choosing to have an ed if she even has one. just be kind it’s not hard at all. for the past 3 years y’all have been talking abt her body it’s ridiculous.

You completely took my comment the wrong way. Also, what views and likes??? This is yik yak bro. Anyways, I’m not saying we should belittle her. We should let her know we are concerned for her and wanting her to find help. Her die hard fans have been disgusting to those like me just hoping she seeks help. How am I or anyone supposed to voice their concerns without speaking out? Also, no one chooses an ED willingly. It is part of a mental illness. No one wants to stick a finger down their

Throat or starve themselves. It’s not a fun time. It is scary and lonely and humiliating. Not anything worth being canceled for, just should be taken care of away from the public to ensure privacy and mental health is worked on. Anyways. Conclusion, she needs help and she needs to recognize this for her own good and to recognize this hurts people who are young and impressionable as well which comes with her status as a responsibility. Die hard fans need to help too.

okay you’re literally not understanding your opinion does not mean anything. she’s seen the comments obviously but again the only ppl that can help her truly or have her back are the ppl in her life. so once again all you’re doing is pointless and triggering other ppl like no shade. “we should let her know” sounds so entitled. like “hey you’re too skinny! get some help” from millions of strangers is insane and has no weight compared to ppl in her life who genuinely care. you don’t even like her.

also just bc she has an eating disorder doesn’t mean she needs to hid from the public. that’s such a gross thing to say. it’s up to parents to teach their children that their own body is beautiful. you’re acting like she’s promoting diets or saying her body is the only beautiful one. how hard is it to keep concern to yourself or be concerned from afar?

Okay and people who word it like this are assholes. The right way to word it is “hey Ariana, this comes from a place of love and concern (and depending on the person, from experience) but we are really worried about your health and we wouldn’t want you to push yourself in this state. Please take time to take care of yourself and your mental health.” I don’t love Ariana but I’m not an asshole and I’m not heartless. I see people like this and my heart goes to them and I hope that things better

For them. I’m sorry if you see the world so black and white but it isn’t like that. Maybe you need to reflect on yourself as well.

you’re missing my entire point abt how it’s not what is being said to ariana but who it is coming from. also you’re making assumptions abt me which is strange but not surprising. i just hope you give more grace to ppl you don’t even know personally.

??? Lmfao you didn’t give me any grace. In fact I gave you grace by explaining fully what I mean and you kept acting defensive and slightly lashing out to me as if I was the people acting out inappropriately to Ariana. I gave plenty of context and was agreeing how people need to be kinder. I was also saying how people can voice their concerns in a certain way rather than how a certain collective have been doing as of late.

No, I am understanding your points + I was simply trying to bring a different perspective. Trying to explain how not everyone is attacking/being nasty about her body. I have even brought up the fact that it is the die hard fans that are being quite weird + not wanting to wish her help/good health. Saying that she’s perfect the way she is+ telling those who are voicing concerns are just body shamers. You should be more upset with those people than those who are encouraging for Ariana to seek help

the concept of discourse over a celebrity’s body is the weird part to me. it doesn’t matter if ppl want to tell ariana she needs help in a mean way or nice way. that’s never going to work or have any positive effect on her unless you personally know her. that was my entire point but i’m just going to leave it here and we can agree to disagree honestly.

But I don’t see you saying the same thing about people idolizing her body in unhealthy ways either. many woman in Hollywood have hollow eyes and clavicles able to cut now and it seems to be trending. No one should be an asshole about it but it shouldn’t receive the levels of praise it’s getting either. Also families don’t live in a vacuum apart from society. Parents can’t do everything and can’t change societal pressures

how about we don’t comment on ppls bodies at all if they’ve expressed they’re not comfortable with it AND have expressed they are working on it in private + with friends and family. body neutrality >>> body positivity
