Ariana Grande has sparked concern among fans and international media due to her appearance at a promotional event for the movie Wicked. Described as “painfully thin,” the 31-year-old singer’s weight and health have become a growing source of worry.
Appearance at Wicked Promotional Event
The pop icon, born in 1993, took center stage during a photo shoot with her Wicked co-stars, Cynthia Erivo and Jonathan Bailey. Grande wore a long, low-cut gown that highlighted her collarbones and exposed a visibly thin frame.
Fans were alarmed by her drastically slim figure, which has reportedly changed significantly in recent weeks.
“She’s skin and bones,” one attendee at the Los Angeles event remarked. Another agreed, saying, “Ariana looks alarmingly thin,” while a third questioned, “Has she always been this skinny?”
Many fans expressed their distress over her appearance:
“I love Ariana, and I don’t think people should comment on others’ bodies, but she genuinely looks unwell in this case.”
“I hope she’s okay.”
“Ariana has always been petite, but this is concerning.”
Co-Star Cynthia Erivo Also Faces Criticism: Grande’s co-star, Cynthia Erivo, has also drawn attention for her significant weight loss. Some social media users reacted harshly:
“Not to be rude, but were they starved on set?”
“Are they okay? Someone get these women a burger.”
“Ariana and Cynthia look scarily thin and frail.”
Fans Defend Ariana
Despite the criticism, many fans defended Grande, pointing out that she has always been naturally slim. Back in April 2023, the Thank U Next singer responded to body shamers, emphasizing that she was healthier than ever after photos comparing her weight over the years went viral.
Grande has previously attributed her weight changes to periods of intense personal struggle. She revealed that she had relied heavily on antidepressants, experienced poor eating habits, and faced some of the lowest moments in her life.
By sharing her journey, Grande hopes to encourage understanding and compassion regarding physical and mental health challenges.
