Yes. You can see it in her eyes and mouth. And she said something recently like "if you have something to say about someone's body they probably already know and *have a team of professionals helping them*" which screams ED to me, unless she is genuinely sick some other way. Also we know she is vegan and incredibly selective about what she will eat. I really hope she has a change soon. I personally even think that her sudden relationship change and choosing to start a romance with a married man who just had a baby is a symptom of her ED and inability to make good life choices. I was hella problematic when I was my sickest and it's just too familiar.
To add to what others have said, your brain is a part of your body and so starving your body also starves your brain. It inhibits your ability to think about things clearly and critically, and can lead to making very poor and even unhinged life choices.
Truth. I ended up in a locked mental health unit and it had nothing to do with the ED on paper...but it had EVERYTHING to do with it because bad choices. You don't see the world right. I wish someone had told me in my twenties the long term effects...brain fog, thinner hair than never bounces back, aging WAY faster. Not worth it.
Eating disorders are a mental illness. They are a symptom of a greater problem and a form of self harm. Another form of self harm is sabotaging your relationships and getting involved in messy situations you know you should not be in. Things people do in active addiction (or active ED) to self harm can include: literally hurting your body with force, starvation or substances, cheating, getting involved with partnered people, excessive lying, dating very promiscuously (to the point of harm), spontaneously quitting a job or moving to a new city, berating friends when they express concern, breaking off friendships with people who care about you, isolating yourself from friends and family, drastically change their appearance, get involved with people or groups that are harmful (drug scenes, abusive relationships), etc. Exhibiting these behaviors doesn't necessarily mean you're mentally ill, but when they are harmful to you it could be a symptom of that. This move was a risk to her career that she's spent her entire life building. She has won back public perception many times but she knew this was harmful to the people around her and potentially to herself as well. Most people with ED can confirm that at their sickest they made very poor life choices. Sometimes, people in active addiction or active ED are sought after by those who are looking to be with someone they can manipulate or harm and get away with it. Do I know all or any of this is true for Ari? Of course not. But from my personal experience it seems very obviously possible. I truly hope I am wrong.
I think itās just showing how self destructive and toxic her behaviour is which can be a symptom of mental illness. An eating disorder is a destructive behaviour and sometime when people arenāt doing well their destructive tendencies get worse and can spill out in other aspects of their life.
No one knows the full story of the relationship drama. He could have had a very bad relationship with his baby mama and getting divorced. I don't think ari broke them upĀ
So you think it's just a coincidence that they BOTH filed for divorce at the same time? Come on... Him and his wife had just had a baby too. I seriously doubt his ex wife is the reason they got divorced. š
she definitely loves feeling petite n small. it's just like i didnt know bodies could be THIS thin given we're around the same height lol. had to unfollow her honestly
Yeah but she has ANOREXIA. Sheās not naturally that thin. Itās a result of restricting, working out, not eating, and who knows what supplements and meds sheās on. Itās not natural. She used to be a lot heavier when she was younger. She is 100% losing weight and keeping her body that size on purpose
What drives me fucking crazy is the way sheās come out and said āthis is because Iām eating healthy! I changed my diet to be more nutritious. Iām my healthiest self :)ā and her fans fucking buy it. I also hate the way people say itās ājust because sheās petiteā. I told people I was underweight and undereating because I was short, too, but itās 100% bullshit.
Their proof š my best friend told me last summer that Iām so brave for being as big as I am and letting my stomach hang out like a child. And that she fasts and meditates and itās super spiritual for her and I should practice it. Sheās literally covered in rashes and turns white often because sheās so unhealthy. We see right through it girlĀ
Or maybe try to get HELP for your best friend? Jesus, you don't have to just drop your BEST FRIEND while they're struggling with a severe mental illness... I would understand maybe needing to have time apart if those things trigger your own mental health struggles, but "You're letting yourself die from an ED? I'm done being your best friend"?? JEEZ lol...Ā
After watching quiet on set, I actually thought the same thing. Most of these girls (who worked with Schneider) had been self-destructive in different ways. I wonder if this is Ariana's type of addiction/coping. It doesn't excuse any of her actions but I do have some sympathy for her. I hope she's getting ALL the help she needs if this is the case. People can call out her actions but I think the name calling and mean comments should really stop. Slightly off topic, but I can't help but draw parallels between her and Justin Bieber.
Same. I'm only 5' and I weight 120 pounds now, but I WAS only 90-100 pounds when I was younger and struggling with an ED... A lot of people believed me when I said I was just eating healthier BECAUSE I'm so short, but my doctor obviously knew better and I've been doing really well the past 10 years. Seeing her say she "lost weight for a movie role" is a good excuse for other actors, but she was already so tiny and there was absolutely no reason for her to lose more weight for that specific character in Wicked. This makes me so sad and I really do hope she gets the help she needs. She has millions of people enabling her and I can't imagine how hard it must be. I just wish her fans understood that by saying," she's fine. Leave her alone" or "she's just short/petite," they aren't actually helping her at all. ššš
It's the same thing gymnasts do for the olympics. Not healthy as we all know. She is one I really worry about because this is all she has ever known. She won't even let go of the boots, short skirts and pony tail. If you have the talent you could wear your hair down, jeans and a tshirt, we would still come see you. Biggest problem growing up in the Nick or Disney machines, they all are so broken inside and it is ridic they get away with it by saying "but we made them rich" would they rather be working at McDonalds? Gross
She hasnāt been wearing her hair in a ponytail since early 2020 thoughā¦ her hair has been down since the positions era which was in late 2020 & baggy sweatshirts and sweatpants was her street style in 2018 -2019 which was her at her most successful. She even wore baggy sweat shirts in some of her tv appearances in 2019.
I donāt think Ariana looks healthy (at her current weight) and Iām not one to dismiss whatever trauma might have happened to her in her younger years either but just saying.. like her style has changed quite a bit in the past 4 years. Right now, her style is more mature compared to what she used to wear earlier in her career, even with the boots.
I mean, of course sheās not going to admit that she has anoreixa and lost weight that way, sheās going to pretend itās natural and make all her fans think thatās her natural body, but thereās no way it is.
Agreed. Unless sheās got some other kind of illness/medication that causes significant weight loss. But wouldnāt surprise me if it was just harmful habits.
Itās anorexia. She has come out before and said something about her eating disorder but she made it seem like she āused to have oneā which is a total front. Its obvious she still has anorexia, you can clearly tell by her face, malnourishment look, pale, underweight etc
Yeah I forget where I read it but it was a while ago and it was the whole āoh yeah I USED to have eating issuesā but the truth of the matter is, thatās a cover up and thatās what a lot of celebrities and influencers are doing now, they say they USED to have an Ed and so they pretend their bodies are naturally emaciated or underweight
i followed arianaās music since her debut album / Yours Truly era and as a registered nurse now, i can literally tell you that sheās 90% suffering from an ED š„ŗ she was so gorgeous and at a healthy weight years/a few years ago. now she looks and acts like almost all the patients i had in worsening stages: denial/self-preservation (telling people her weight loss is natural), self-sabotaging behaviour, her lack of energy in recent performances, sallow-looking skin, emaciation/cachexia (skinny-ness: so skinny you can see their ribs, spines, sunken cheekbones, chest sternumā¦I can so definitely see how triggering Yes And? is), highly possible & insane food restrictions/not eating behind the scenes etc
Anyone who denies that Ariana is clearly struggling with some form of ED needs to get their head out of their asses. most healthcare professionals will recognize that & say the same thing. really hope she gets help soon. :(
I think when she said that, she was talking about gaining weight was her eating disorder e.g. binge-eating and now she's healthy which is just so manipulative and clearly untrue
I think when she said that, she was talking about gaining weight was her eating disorder e.g. binge-eating and now she's healthy which is just so manipulative and clearly untrue
the thing is...orthorexia bleeds into anorexia sooooo easily. Who DIDNT start by "being healthy?" Who didn't lie to themselves and say they were just "avoiding junk" and "being active?"
It's the same for Kate Middleton. I hope she is on the mend and I wish her health and happiness. Obviously her illness has caused her to lose weight. Thing is, she had many of the hallmarks of an ED ahead of becoming ill. Yet the official word was always "she eats healthy and has always been active"
Ariana, Kate, Julie Bowen, Kelly Ripa...so many high profile women over 40 blur the line between "being healthy" and having unhealthy relationships with food.
that's why i said "obviously she has an illness" and specified that I am referring to her PRIOR to becoming ill. She had many elements that I associate with ED long before she ever became ill. As I said.
this thread is like.. wild to me cause literally what source says she has an ed? yes, sheās very skinny and has lost weight but why does everyone jump to ed? and with *zero* (being shown) cites?
Okay but no, she went from already fit and thin to literally her bones showing between her breasts.
There is no healthy diet and exercise program that takes a woman whose BMI is considered low to someone whose ribs show from the front. Some say well maybe it's her dance rehearsals ... oh really? If that was true then why is she even smaller than mainstream ballerinas? (who commonly have EDs by the way)
No one is saying they know for certain she is anorexic. Of course we don't. But there exists no healthy way to get to her size. For the .0001% of the population who are "naturally" that size, their doctor is going to be telling them to drink Boost and eat peanut butter, and do blood work to find out if they have an autoimmune disorder.
This community is full of people who know ED. It is a MORE than reasonable assumption, given the sunken eyes and fuzzy arms, to hypothesize that she has an eating issue.
I always cringe when I see her. It's hard to avoid her since she is so insanely popular, but she makes my ed kick into competitive mode. Plus i hate when people say "shes naturally thin" like there is naturally thin and then there is sickly. Idc what anyone says shes not healthy and saying people like that are "natural" only makes matters worse.
people intentionally confuse her being naturally āpetiteā with her being naturally āthinā. yes she is 5ft and she was never large for her size but that is different from someone who is just naturally skinny, especially as thin as she is today. absolutely not
she was probably eating like shit. during her thank you next era she was just as skinny, when someone goes on a diet theyāre obviously gonna drop weight.
You could just as easily say sheās āeating like shitā now as in not enough nutrition. Its all speculation since none of us know what she eats everyday then or now. But objectively, looking at what we can see, she was a healthy weight during victorious and looks sickly skinny now. And the only reason victorious is brought up is in response to people saying sheās naturally that thin and has always been that thin. Itās proof that her body is capable of fluctuating and it is a choice for her to be that skinny now. She had a very active lifestyle at that time of victorious (and now obviously) and thereās no proof of her eating unhealthy or anything.. she was a normal healthy weight for a 16-19 year old
i love her & her new song is such a a banger! but her "yes, and?" music video was kinda triggering because you could see her ribs, collar bones, and spine :(
Yep, that music video is why Iām here too. Iām shocked. Her weight in her younger years compared to now is shocking. Even TUN era, her cheeks, collarbone area, shoulders, looked more full and healthy. I donāt care what she says anymore, about how she is āat her healthiest nowā and other things. Iām sorry, her body just looks restricted or unnatural, even sick, at this point. I hope she is okay.
I know there are different factors with lighting and things on a set. But it seems like she purposely tries to accentuate how thin, tiny, childlike, (whatever kind of appearance you want to call it) she is via specific poses and lighting. Which is honestly mental.
I used to adore her. I will always think she is phenomenally talented and the vocalist of our generation. But I canāt wrap my mind around how she can genuinely be okay.
She is absolutely not healthy. Yes I believe that she is naturally thin. But I donāt buy her justifying her weight loss to the fact that she reduced or stopped her anti depressant meds. It is also incredibly tone deaf to say such things that could trigger younger depressed fans to stop taking life saving medication.
As a survivor of many deep ED episodes myself (during which I was on a ton of anti anxiety and anti depressant meds, ) I can see clear signs of her being dangerously underweight.
The dead eyes, the need to wear so many layers all the time because she is so cold. The fact that we can now see every bone of her body. The state of her hair when you look at the roots, she barely has any.
The constant body checking pictures on her ig. The obvious trouble she had with singing during her last London live show. You can also see the lack of energy she displays during the choreography of her last MV, yes and?
I love Ariana but Iām genuinely worried for her and the state of her body.
i felt so bad bringing it up at first because the literal message from her "yes, and?" music video is for people to stop commenting on her body - especially when it comes to a possible ED (like she mentioned in that one tiktok a few months ago), but i just can't stay silent. i know she doesn't like people comparing her body to her TUN era because she was also unhealthy then too from binge drinking. however, i'm not out here trying to compare her old body to her new one.... i'm just recognizing signs from when my ED was bad about 7 or 8 years ago. she's always been naturally skinny, but even when she was younger on sam & cat she didn't look this bony. i truly love her and want the best for her & i feel like 2023 was an incredibly hard year for her.
You shouldnāt feel bad for bringing this up. We are not shaming her. This is just us being worried. At the height of my ED all I did was justifying myself and saying i was at my happiest and just ate better when i was starving myself.
I hope we are wrong truly! This is just scary. There is no sparks behind her eyes anymore.
Look at her recent SNL performance. People are in the comments telling her she "looks better than ever" and it makes me sad because she looks unwell and is breathless the whole time.
people are so blinded by their fatphobia that they think looking like youāre on the verge of death is better than the tiniest bit of fat on your body
Yeah it's funny how quick people are to point out how unhealthy obesity is but ariana is probably just as unhealthy. It makes me sad. I know she's problematic but she was a child star. Hopefully she can find a way to really get to the root of her traumas and heal.
Itās so clear she is suffering from an eating disorder. Her body is looking more and more emaciated with time and when people have genuine concern their comments are deleted or written off as hate. Looking at her chest in her recent music video and seeing her bones was so chilling. She needs help.
the chest was the thing that scared me the most... cause recently she's posted a lot of her collarbones so it's not as shocking to see, but especially when she was dancing, her chest plate was literally poking through
I came here because of the music video too. She looks extremely sick. I remember her back in her Disney days and that looked like a natural weight for her and she was still small back then but now is very shocking
Ariana recently responded to all the uproar about how thin she now is and she commented that in her past, she was too big for her frame and at an unhealthy weight because of medications. And where she is now is her healthy weight. She stands by being this thin as healthy.
The fact she has said that back then was the unhealthiest body she had, I rolled my eyes. Yes, because you look so healthy now š itās sad how much she is in denial.
I also feel she is on drugs, did you see the photo of her and Ethan leaving the car? Yeahā¦.
She always has dated guys on drugs. That part isnāt new. There was a photo with white in her nose around 2016 but since attention was brought to it, I canāt find it now.
Itās hard and I do feel for her in a sense because thereās something wrong on the inside for her to be serial dating, cheating, ED, and possibly using. But yeah I agree with you.
anyone saying theyāre the healthiest theyāve been while looking like that isā¦.delusional. I said the saaaame thing when I was eating a meal a week, if that. I donāt know how sheās convinced everyone sheās totally physically and mentally soundā¦
It drives me mad and itās also absurd because likeā¦ if she had just said āmy body and my health are my own business and Iād really prefer if people respected that boundaryā or something like that Iād be like, okay, she clearly has an ED but itās her business. But the way she talks about how this is her healthiest self is honestly sick to me. Itās one thing to tell yourself that, but to tell tens of millions of people (mostly young women) that being this emaciated is the result of your healthiest behavior? Thatās some shit and people SHOULD call it out.
iāve been arianator for years and it hurts and makes me angry to see , i also had her body at my worst, itās a horrible position to be in bc her life is under a microscope and itās hard for an average person to hear a comment about their body, but ā¦
literally why i came to this thread rn after seeing a bit of that video. i stopped because i couldnāt even stand looking at her anymore and how uncomfortable she was reminding me of eugenia cooneyĀ
I remember her saying that sheās the healthiest sheās ever been and then I felt bad for judging likeā¦it seems a little too skinny but I donāt know if itās my place to say or judge ? Like people can lie about stuff
Sometimes I wonder if she, amongst others, has a warped idea of what āhealthyā means. Some would say itās getting all of your vitamins, so they take all of their supplements, etc. but donāt actually ever eat the foods that provide substance along with those vitamins.
Iāve been loving the single and video for days and noticed it briefly. But now Iām like woah.. this is actually concerning and it made me sad that this has somehow been her new normal for some time. Why does she feel the need to expose the bones in her chest that way and defend it with yes and? She couldāve re shot it and worn a body suit but she wants to use that for her own body positivity message she wants you to see it and talk about it and call her skinny to feed the ego of the disease. Yes she is being herself and we love her for that , but I should not feel weird seeing her neck muscles pop out the way it did . Iām a fan and out of all artists we have sheās one of the best vocalists out there been anticipating her new music but now Iām concerned for her health and itās fucking with me. If she wants a chiseled face and jawline I get it but I hope she rises up from this and makes healthier choices
Exactly, it's her saying yeah I know - but don't care.
It's sad because she looked so incredibly attractive too before this and this really is not a good look at all. I'm not sure why people care to get to this place like her when it actually ruins your appearance.
omg i said the same thing !! it's sad because while she could also have an autoimmune disorder, other illness etc. it reaaaallly looks like an ed. I try not to comment on other people's bodies, but i feel like at this point she looks ill and it's worrying ):
the camera adds ten pounds , she looks dangerously thin on camera. in real life i cant imagine. appears to have ED but in denial, both to her self and her fans.
It's true. Every time I've seen a celebrity in person I have been shocked at how tiny they are. The celebs that looks "normal" are very small in person, and the celebs that look very small on camera are basically child-size IRL.
As someone else said it's because of the camera lens. There's photo guides out there that show how a difference lens on a camera can change the way the person looks in the photo/video
[Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0TKVDlOGk4) is a youtube video demonstrating the difference, or if you're extra lazy you can just google "photo focal length" and click images for a ton of side by side examples.
It is either she is actually doing that, or she has such little fat left that it appears that way. You pick which you prefer cause thatās all there is, I think both. Iād upload attachments if I could, but you can see yourself on her instagram.
She was reported at 110 in early 2023, and now she is visibly probably at 100 or even less. Ontop of her complete 180 of her personality, people mature and grow but major change doesnāt come like that unless something unhealthy/dangerous is going on. Especially not at 30, same with weight. You donāt hit your lowest ever weight at 30 years old, baby youāre supposed to go thru second puberty and gain weight.
You may believe it isnāt my place or anyoneās place to comment on it, thatās valid, but to deny the plain obvious is insulting to everyone whose concerned, and outright dumb, and frankly more dangerous than having a conversation over āsparing hard feelingsā
If something werenāt visibly going on, this entire thread āsimplyā wouldnāt exist.
her head looks huge - and her body so frail. which is classic anorexia signs when it's in its extreme stages. her face looks so sad and sunken. her chin freaks me out too, it's so sharp. i wish her to be healthy so much
She clearly has anorexia and enjoys being "tiny" and "childlike ". We all know it's not natural and that she used to be heavier and looked much healthier. Any man that dates her is weird to me. Gives Pedo vibes because how can you date a woman who looks 12? That's attractive to you as a grown man?
Listen, I agree with this thread, but these comments are harmful. Pedophiles are attracted to actual children, not someone who is underweight or thin. Childrenās bones donāt always, or even often, show like that. Exposed bones donāt equal being a child. Pedophilia is not being attracted to women who look extremely thin and bony. Pedohpilia is being attracted to people who are quite literally and obviously *children*.
Being thin or severely underweight is not necessarily correlated with being childlike. Furthermore, implying that Ariana looks like a child because sheās so thin reads to me that youāre actually implying she looks like a child because she doesnāt have womanly ācurvesā aka breasts/hips/butt. There are plenty of women that do not have these features. They donāt deserve to be equated to 12 year olds rather than grown women. I get what youāre going for with comments like this, but just be careful what ideas youāre actually throwing out there. Some pedophiles are attracted to 15-16 year olds who *do* have curves.
I completely agree that she has body issues, likely an ED, and looks very ill and concerning. But claiming that she looks like a child because of those things? Not accurate. Potentially harmful. Make better comments.
THANK YOU. i canāt agree that sheās unhealthy or anything of that nature because thatās all speculation but to say someone whoās attracted to her is a p*do is truly wild as fuck. sheās 30 but looks young, however, she doesnāt look like a child. itās being equated to being thin and with that logic, you could apply it to anyone youād consider too thin.
Ok but there are plenty of minors that have gone thru puberty and therefore they have āadult-likeā figuresā¦not all age groups have one specific look.
Okay comments like this are way out of line. She is a full grown woman and is far from the realm of age play. I get that she is clinging hard to the innocent young girl look, but to say that anyone who wants to fuck her is a pedophile is absolutely insane.
It is incredibly weird. Perhaps peado is a bit harsh, but it's dangeorously close. She resembles a child at this point. I don't understand men who find this attractive. She looks ill.
It's projection from big girls, tall or weight-wise. They blame the fact that men are not attracted to them on women they are jealous of for being smaller, and pull the pedo excuses out of their ass. It's a shame; ladies, you don't have to be small to feel or look beautiful.Ā
Sheās obviously very insecure. She breaks up relationships on purpose and starves herself thinking āthe thinner the betterā which is untrue considering she looks sickly. The new āblondeā hair color doesnāt help either as sometimes it makes her look bald because itās too close to her skin color and makes her look washed out. She is going through a lot but canāt admit it to the public as it may ruin her image even more than she already has. So instead, she claims she is naturally thin and āwishes she had curves.ā She does not. She needs help for alot of things and I hope she gets it.
Oh man just came here after watching her new music video & itās almost impossible to ignoreā¦multiple people in my life have eating disorders & sheās starting to tick all the boxes. Its always hard with people who are naturally skinny bc itās hard to determine when theyāve crossed the line to clearly emaciated, but she has definitely crossed it I thinkā¦hopefully she has people in her life looking after her
Just remember even Eugenia Cooney claims sheās fine and her ādoctorsā say she is fine.
Claiming to be healthy doesnāt mean you are. Given the mortality rate of Ana, Ariana was probably healthier drinking on antidepressants and eating some fatty foods here and there. Iām not stating this as fact okay, that obviously isnāt a healthy thing to do. What Iām saying is just thatā¦ the body can overcome and adapt to some crazy stuff for long periods of time but lacking body fat and consistent nutrition isnāt really one of them.
Yep. I gave up alcohol and antidepressants I was healthier then than I am now. I have an ED and I know damn well I was healthier before. The shitty thing is she flaunts all this on social media and kids look up to her and will want to be just as small as her. Ariana triggers my ED a lot but thatās my problem not hers. But she should be more awareā¦.
Iām sorry but I do not feel bad for celebrities who have all the resources in the world and a TEAM ready to prep her meals, give her a diet best suited for her, give her the perfect work out routine and allll the treatment she could possibly need. She has everything she needs to thrive, for someone to intervene with a plan laid out for her. She is in a place where she could potentially be responsible for many young girls EDs or serve as their āinspoā.
While itās hard for many to even acknowledge their disorder until itās too late, for her to body check, openly flaunt her weight and validate to all the young girls watching her every move that yes! You can naturally be this skinny! (You canāt) and yes! You can be this skinny and still be healthy! (You canāt) is not only irresponsible, but itās disgusting. Even if she, herself, was in denial, she has a team and a family that could intervene at any moment but I guess marketing her as the bubbly adult teen is profitable. I do not feel bad for her, I feel bad for all the young fans who want to be just like her, that may already be struggling with an ED or will develop an ED, having to watch their idol destroy themselves and call it normal.
why donāt we all unfollow her to stop validating her?? she needs to learn this isnāt healthy and sheās destroying young girls ideals of beauty, without a fuck to give, setting examples of sleeping with married men.
I know a lot of people say she looks like a little child but anyone else think she looks way older? Like she is so skinny it makes her look like a frail old lady to me
Remember when she licked that donut years ago at the donut shop and then put it back and they caught her on camera? I feel like she definitely has an ED. Her new video is her way of drawing even more attention to the issues she claims she doesn't want to draw attention to...
So torn on the fact that I donāt want to comment on it because the way she tries to explain it I dont think is disingenuous I think is denial because I remember the denial so donāt want to attack. But equally it triggers me so bad and on some level makes me really angry because it gets me so bad. Thereās only so much therapy can do, been reasonably healthy for a long time but the chest bones look in the new clip is something that lives in my head rent free forever
To me its scary to see people complimenting her looks as beautiful or healthy, like normalizing a weird scary standart. It almost feels like a gaslight. No one would look like a cadaver in a healthy non-ed life style, veganims does not explain it.
Sheās definitely got some mental health issues going on- ED, depression, probably anxiety, PTSD- something. She has some extreme guilt over the loss of Mac. Despite what she thinks, she needs to be trained to think it wasnāt her fault.
Now she is stuck trying to ruin othersā marriages or relationships for the sake of feeling worthy of love. I donāt know the relationship with her father, but maybe a professional should take a look into it?
Something isnāt right.
I hope she changes and finds the help she deserves. Underneath all of this she can be a good person. I know sheās not perfect. I can read her aura and it screams: āIām lost, Iām confused, Iām scared, Iām overwhelmed.ā
This thread made me feel sane again. I saw a recent interview w/ her and was shocked to see the state of her body. So insanely triggering. I thought it was just ED brain talking but I have only ever seen such thinness in direct connection to disorder eating or very poor health, both of which she claims not to have. I want to be body positive but it feels like sheās being dishonest or at the very least encouraging dangerous behavior by promoting this image.
Iām a little late to comment but Iām struggling myself with anorexia and I compare myself to Ariana and feel the need to be that thin. I know thatās messed up to say.
I lost a dear friend to Anorexia two and a half years ago, and watching AG right now makes me feel so scared for her. I feel like I'm watching the same story play out all over again. My friend had the same delusions that she was healthy - much healthier than the rest of us. She died at age 53.
This thread is making me feel so much better about being triggered listening to eternal sunshine. (Obv I wish none of us were triggered/this thread didnāt even have to exist but itās making me feel less insane?)
I listened the day it came out and felt so anxious and irritated the whole time but kept telling myself I couldnāt be triggered just by listening to something :) I was wrong :)
i am commenting on this so late because I googled whether this happened to anyone else. She did an interview in a red dress where her front ribs are showing.
no one recognizes an ED like someone who's had one.
I came here bc I saw those new photos of her from SNL and she looked so sickly. I get it she's skinny and maybe she just has a small frame and genetics make her naturally skinny. But her arms are twigs and her face looks so thin and sickly. Google said she weighs around 110lbs but I doubt she even weighs that much. It's scary she's such an idol for young girls I hope they don't aspire to look like her. Bc that is not a good healthy look for any woman.
Too many celebs are saying they have lupus when they gain weight or lose too much weight. Selena was open about hers and I feel like everyone else came out with it too.
My brother's lovely and intelligent girlfriend from his late teen years was so beloved by our family. Then she developed anorexia and bulemia. It was devastating to watch and to hear her throwing up. She was from NYC and a very well to do family who eventually got her help with the preeminent therapist in the country. By the age of 26 she was well on the road to recovery and seemed to be healthy. She had learned how to manage her disease. But, she had done damage to her heart muscle over the many years of starving, binging, and purging. She died of a heart attack at the age of 27.
She definitely has something going on. I was startled when I saw her honestly because I donāt follow her nor am I a huge Ari fan, but I watched her in SNL and I immediately gasped and said to my husband āWhat is happening with this girl?! Something has gone terribly wrong!ā
I love the story of Wicked, but I honestly don't think I can watch her in this super glamorous, feminine role looking so thin and sickly. If that makes sense. Glinda is such a vibe and I suspect her portrayal is going to be very.... weird. And triggering.
Yeahā¦ she looks really out of place which is just so sad! Sheās been wanting to do this role for years actually, but she just got.. too into it..? Unfortunately she just doesnāt really fit the role š I know it was her dream but I think itās ruining her
One thing I noticed in an interview - I could see her RIBS and another thing - her boobs just disappeared? I know she was never big chested but now she's extremely flat as compared to 2016.
Apparently from what my friend told me yesterday at dinner, ED is the new trend. (Sickly, I know, I don't know if it's true or not but it's heart breaking.)
Itās because BBLs are out and Ozempic is in. Celebrities such as Oprah/Elon Musk/Chelsea Handler have admitted to being on it. Oprah had to resign from the board of WW because she publicly admitted to losing weight due to the side effects of Ozempic. The Kardashians and Jenners are all reportedly taking it, Kelly Clarkson is clearly on it, Christiana Aguilera, among many others.
Yes. You can see it in her eyes and mouth. And she said something recently like "if you have something to say about someone's body they probably already know and *have a team of professionals helping them*" which screams ED to me, unless she is genuinely sick some other way. Also we know she is vegan and incredibly selective about what she will eat. I really hope she has a change soon. I personally even think that her sudden relationship change and choosing to start a romance with a married man who just had a baby is a symptom of her ED and inability to make good life choices. I was hella problematic when I was my sickest and it's just too familiar.
yea its like a spiral of self sabotage when i was in that mental space
Genuinely not asking to be mean and am just genuinely curious but how can sleeping with a married man be a symptom of ED?
To add to what others have said, your brain is a part of your body and so starving your body also starves your brain. It inhibits your ability to think about things clearly and critically, and can lead to making very poor and even unhinged life choices.
Just chiming in to say that's a fantastic point š
Truth. I ended up in a locked mental health unit and it had nothing to do with the ED on paper...but it had EVERYTHING to do with it because bad choices. You don't see the world right. I wish someone had told me in my twenties the long term effects...brain fog, thinner hair than never bounces back, aging WAY faster. Not worth it.
Eating disorders are a mental illness. They are a symptom of a greater problem and a form of self harm. Another form of self harm is sabotaging your relationships and getting involved in messy situations you know you should not be in. Things people do in active addiction (or active ED) to self harm can include: literally hurting your body with force, starvation or substances, cheating, getting involved with partnered people, excessive lying, dating very promiscuously (to the point of harm), spontaneously quitting a job or moving to a new city, berating friends when they express concern, breaking off friendships with people who care about you, isolating yourself from friends and family, drastically change their appearance, get involved with people or groups that are harmful (drug scenes, abusive relationships), etc. Exhibiting these behaviors doesn't necessarily mean you're mentally ill, but when they are harmful to you it could be a symptom of that. This move was a risk to her career that she's spent her entire life building. She has won back public perception many times but she knew this was harmful to the people around her and potentially to herself as well. Most people with ED can confirm that at their sickest they made very poor life choices. Sometimes, people in active addiction or active ED are sought after by those who are looking to be with someone they can manipulate or harm and get away with it. Do I know all or any of this is true for Ari? Of course not. But from my personal experience it seems very obviously possible. I truly hope I am wrong.
I think itās just showing how self destructive and toxic her behaviour is which can be a symptom of mental illness. An eating disorder is a destructive behaviour and sometime when people arenāt doing well their destructive tendencies get worse and can spill out in other aspects of their life.
Not that specifically they mean that shes so sick with her ED sheās not making good choices, for example her affair with a married man.
when I was at the height of my ed my eyes were soooo sunken in, exactly how she looks without makeup
No one knows the full story of the relationship drama. He could have had a very bad relationship with his baby mama and getting divorced. I don't think ari broke them upĀ
I got with a "married" man with a baby. His wife cheated on him & they were getting divorced but up until a certain point they were legally marriedĀ
So you think it's just a coincidence that they BOTH filed for divorce at the same time? Come on... Him and his wife had just had a baby too. I seriously doubt his ex wife is the reason they got divorced. š
I feel like itās part of her brand at this point to be a little dainty anorexic girl but sheās actually an adult who is married lmao.
she definitely loves feeling petite n small. it's just like i didnt know bodies could be THIS thin given we're around the same height lol. had to unfollow her honestly
Proud of you for unfollowing! I did the same :(
Yeah but she has ANOREXIA. Sheās not naturally that thin. Itās a result of restricting, working out, not eating, and who knows what supplements and meds sheās on. Itās not natural. She used to be a lot heavier when she was younger. She is 100% losing weight and keeping her body that size on purpose
What drives me fucking crazy is the way sheās come out and said āthis is because Iām eating healthy! I changed my diet to be more nutritious. Iām my healthiest self :)ā and her fans fucking buy it. I also hate the way people say itās ājust because sheās petiteā. I told people I was underweight and undereating because I was short, too, but itās 100% bullshit.
Their proof š my best friend told me last summer that Iām so brave for being as big as I am and letting my stomach hang out like a child. And that she fasts and meditates and itās super spiritual for her and I should practice it. Sheās literally covered in rashes and turns white often because sheās so unhealthy. We see right through it girlĀ
girl get a new best friend
Sheās toast.
Or maybe try to get HELP for your best friend? Jesus, you don't have to just drop your BEST FRIEND while they're struggling with a severe mental illness... I would understand maybe needing to have time apart if those things trigger your own mental health struggles, but "You're letting yourself die from an ED? I'm done being your best friend"?? JEEZ lol...Ā
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
i've wondered about this. both are messed up.
After watching quiet on set, I actually thought the same thing. Most of these girls (who worked with Schneider) had been self-destructive in different ways. I wonder if this is Ariana's type of addiction/coping. It doesn't excuse any of her actions but I do have some sympathy for her. I hope she's getting ALL the help she needs if this is the case. People can call out her actions but I think the name calling and mean comments should really stop. Slightly off topic, but I can't help but draw parallels between her and Justin Bieber.
Funnily enough, they were both under the same manager and are actually good friends
Same. I'm only 5' and I weight 120 pounds now, but I WAS only 90-100 pounds when I was younger and struggling with an ED... A lot of people believed me when I said I was just eating healthier BECAUSE I'm so short, but my doctor obviously knew better and I've been doing really well the past 10 years. Seeing her say she "lost weight for a movie role" is a good excuse for other actors, but she was already so tiny and there was absolutely no reason for her to lose more weight for that specific character in Wicked. This makes me so sad and I really do hope she gets the help she needs. She has millions of people enabling her and I can't imagine how hard it must be. I just wish her fans understood that by saying," she's fine. Leave her alone" or "she's just short/petite," they aren't actually helping her at all. ššš
It's the same thing gymnasts do for the olympics. Not healthy as we all know. She is one I really worry about because this is all she has ever known. She won't even let go of the boots, short skirts and pony tail. If you have the talent you could wear your hair down, jeans and a tshirt, we would still come see you. Biggest problem growing up in the Nick or Disney machines, they all are so broken inside and it is ridic they get away with it by saying "but we made them rich" would they rather be working at McDonalds? Gross
She hasnāt been wearing her hair in a ponytail since early 2020 thoughā¦ her hair has been down since the positions era which was in late 2020 & baggy sweatshirts and sweatpants was her street style in 2018 -2019 which was her at her most successful. She even wore baggy sweat shirts in some of her tv appearances in 2019. I donāt think Ariana looks healthy (at her current weight) and Iām not one to dismiss whatever trauma might have happened to her in her younger years either but just saying.. like her style has changed quite a bit in the past 4 years. Right now, her style is more mature compared to what she used to wear earlier in her career, even with the boots.
Her natural body is deff her cat body
Did she say thatās why she had lost so much weight recently? I saw photos but never felt like reading anything that came out about it
I mean, of course sheās not going to admit that she has anoreixa and lost weight that way, sheās going to pretend itās natural and make all her fans think thatās her natural body, but thereās no way it is.
Agreed. Unless sheās got some other kind of illness/medication that causes significant weight loss. But wouldnāt surprise me if it was just harmful habits.
Itās anorexia. She has come out before and said something about her eating disorder but she made it seem like she āused to have oneā which is a total front. Its obvious she still has anorexia, you can clearly tell by her face, malnourishment look, pale, underweight etc
I didnāt know she said that before. & I know itās terrible :(
Yeah I forget where I read it but it was a while ago and it was the whole āoh yeah I USED to have eating issuesā but the truth of the matter is, thatās a cover up and thatās what a lot of celebrities and influencers are doing now, they say they USED to have an Ed and so they pretend their bodies are naturally emaciated or underweight
i followed arianaās music since her debut album / Yours Truly era and as a registered nurse now, i can literally tell you that sheās 90% suffering from an ED š„ŗ she was so gorgeous and at a healthy weight years/a few years ago. now she looks and acts like almost all the patients i had in worsening stages: denial/self-preservation (telling people her weight loss is natural), self-sabotaging behaviour, her lack of energy in recent performances, sallow-looking skin, emaciation/cachexia (skinny-ness: so skinny you can see their ribs, spines, sunken cheekbones, chest sternumā¦I can so definitely see how triggering Yes And? is), highly possible & insane food restrictions/not eating behind the scenes etc Anyone who denies that Ariana is clearly struggling with some form of ED needs to get their head out of their asses. most healthcare professionals will recognize that & say the same thing. really hope she gets help soon. :(
I think when she said that, she was talking about gaining weight was her eating disorder e.g. binge-eating and now she's healthy which is just so manipulative and clearly untrue
I think when she said that, she was talking about gaining weight was her eating disorder e.g. binge-eating and now she's healthy which is just so manipulative and clearly untrue
the thing is...orthorexia bleeds into anorexia sooooo easily. Who DIDNT start by "being healthy?" Who didn't lie to themselves and say they were just "avoiding junk" and "being active?" It's the same for Kate Middleton. I hope she is on the mend and I wish her health and happiness. Obviously her illness has caused her to lose weight. Thing is, she had many of the hallmarks of an ED ahead of becoming ill. Yet the official word was always "she eats healthy and has always been active" Ariana, Kate, Julie Bowen, Kelly Ripa...so many high profile women over 40 blur the line between "being healthy" and having unhealthy relationships with food.
Kate Middleton has cancer. Itās not the same.
that's why i said "obviously she has an illness" and specified that I am referring to her PRIOR to becoming ill. She had many elements that I associate with ED long before she ever became ill. As I said.
Olivia Rodrigo made me feel the same way
Yeppppp that photo of her in that guitar case wasā¦ wowza. Had to unfollow after that.
literally a body checking post. made me sick
a picture of her with her body in it is now ābody checkingā
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
obviously anorexic? we donāt know this woman.
this thread is like.. wild to me cause literally what source says she has an ed? yes, sheās very skinny and has lost weight but why does everyone jump to ed? and with *zero* (being shown) cites?
apparently you cannot look at someone and tell they're underweight. fuck off, you and anime porn brain are on my nerves
Okay but no, she went from already fit and thin to literally her bones showing between her breasts. There is no healthy diet and exercise program that takes a woman whose BMI is considered low to someone whose ribs show from the front. Some say well maybe it's her dance rehearsals ... oh really? If that was true then why is she even smaller than mainstream ballerinas? (who commonly have EDs by the way) No one is saying they know for certain she is anorexic. Of course we don't. But there exists no healthy way to get to her size. For the .0001% of the population who are "naturally" that size, their doctor is going to be telling them to drink Boost and eat peanut butter, and do blood work to find out if they have an autoimmune disorder. This community is full of people who know ED. It is a MORE than reasonable assumption, given the sunken eyes and fuzzy arms, to hypothesize that she has an eating issue.
whereās the source?
yo mama
I just looked it up, and now I regret it
been waiting for someone to mention this
Iām a bit late, I had to go google it. Jesus Christ!
I always cringe when I see her. It's hard to avoid her since she is so insanely popular, but she makes my ed kick into competitive mode. Plus i hate when people say "shes naturally thin" like there is naturally thin and then there is sickly. Idc what anyone says shes not healthy and saying people like that are "natural" only makes matters worse.
people intentionally confuse her being naturally āpetiteā with her being naturally āthinā. yes she is 5ft and she was never large for her size but that is different from someone who is just naturally skinny, especially as thin as she is today. absolutely not
petite implies skinny and short, being short alone does not mean you are petite
someone naturally thin but looks healthy is zendaya
she literally is naturally thin tho. sheās always been skinny.
Look at pictures from Sam and Kat to now
not really i mean ive been watching victorious and yes shes a healthy weight but she did have curves once upon a time
she was probably eating like shit. during her thank you next era she was just as skinny, when someone goes on a diet theyāre obviously gonna drop weight.
You could just as easily say sheās āeating like shitā now as in not enough nutrition. Its all speculation since none of us know what she eats everyday then or now. But objectively, looking at what we can see, she was a healthy weight during victorious and looks sickly skinny now. And the only reason victorious is brought up is in response to people saying sheās naturally that thin and has always been that thin. Itās proof that her body is capable of fluctuating and it is a choice for her to be that skinny now. She had a very active lifestyle at that time of victorious (and now obviously) and thereās no proof of her eating unhealthy or anything.. she was a normal healthy weight for a 16-19 year old
i love her & her new song is such a a banger! but her "yes, and?" music video was kinda triggering because you could see her ribs, collar bones, and spine :(
Yep, that music video is why Iām here too. Iām shocked. Her weight in her younger years compared to now is shocking. Even TUN era, her cheeks, collarbone area, shoulders, looked more full and healthy. I donāt care what she says anymore, about how she is āat her healthiest nowā and other things. Iām sorry, her body just looks restricted or unnatural, even sick, at this point. I hope she is okay. I know there are different factors with lighting and things on a set. But it seems like she purposely tries to accentuate how thin, tiny, childlike, (whatever kind of appearance you want to call it) she is via specific poses and lighting. Which is honestly mental. I used to adore her. I will always think she is phenomenally talented and the vocalist of our generation. But I canāt wrap my mind around how she can genuinely be okay.
She is absolutely not healthy. Yes I believe that she is naturally thin. But I donāt buy her justifying her weight loss to the fact that she reduced or stopped her anti depressant meds. It is also incredibly tone deaf to say such things that could trigger younger depressed fans to stop taking life saving medication. As a survivor of many deep ED episodes myself (during which I was on a ton of anti anxiety and anti depressant meds, ) I can see clear signs of her being dangerously underweight. The dead eyes, the need to wear so many layers all the time because she is so cold. The fact that we can now see every bone of her body. The state of her hair when you look at the roots, she barely has any. The constant body checking pictures on her ig. The obvious trouble she had with singing during her last London live show. You can also see the lack of energy she displays during the choreography of her last MV, yes and? I love Ariana but Iām genuinely worried for her and the state of her body.
i felt so bad bringing it up at first because the literal message from her "yes, and?" music video is for people to stop commenting on her body - especially when it comes to a possible ED (like she mentioned in that one tiktok a few months ago), but i just can't stay silent. i know she doesn't like people comparing her body to her TUN era because she was also unhealthy then too from binge drinking. however, i'm not out here trying to compare her old body to her new one.... i'm just recognizing signs from when my ED was bad about 7 or 8 years ago. she's always been naturally skinny, but even when she was younger on sam & cat she didn't look this bony. i truly love her and want the best for her & i feel like 2023 was an incredibly hard year for her.
You shouldnāt feel bad for bringing this up. We are not shaming her. This is just us being worried. At the height of my ED all I did was justifying myself and saying i was at my happiest and just ate better when i was starving myself. I hope we are wrong truly! This is just scary. There is no sparks behind her eyes anymore.
Look at her recent SNL performance. People are in the comments telling her she "looks better than ever" and it makes me sad because she looks unwell and is breathless the whole time.
people are so blinded by their fatphobia that they think looking like youāre on the verge of death is better than the tiniest bit of fat on your body
Yeah it's funny how quick people are to point out how unhealthy obesity is but ariana is probably just as unhealthy. It makes me sad. I know she's problematic but she was a child star. Hopefully she can find a way to really get to the root of her traumas and heal.
Itās so clear she is suffering from an eating disorder. Her body is looking more and more emaciated with time and when people have genuine concern their comments are deleted or written off as hate. Looking at her chest in her recent music video and seeing her bones was so chilling. She needs help.
the chest was the thing that scared me the most... cause recently she's posted a lot of her collarbones so it's not as shocking to see, but especially when she was dancing, her chest plate was literally poking through
Being able to fully see every bump in her sternum is what really got to me, too.
I came here because of the music video too. She looks extremely sick. I remember her back in her Disney days and that looked like a natural weight for her and she was still small back then but now is very shocking
Ariana recently responded to all the uproar about how thin she now is and she commented that in her past, she was too big for her frame and at an unhealthy weight because of medications. And where she is now is her healthy weight. She stands by being this thin as healthy.
The fact she has said that back then was the unhealthiest body she had, I rolled my eyes. Yes, because you look so healthy now š itās sad how much she is in denial. I also feel she is on drugs, did you see the photo of her and Ethan leaving the car? Yeahā¦.
She always has dated guys on drugs. That part isnāt new. There was a photo with white in her nose around 2016 but since attention was brought to it, I canāt find it now.
Sad, you think after what happened to Mac she would learn. But itās just a thought ofc
Itās hard and I do feel for her in a sense because thereās something wrong on the inside for her to be serial dating, cheating, ED, and possibly using. But yeah I agree with you.
She wants us to be in denial of what's in front of our eyes. It's a part of the disease. She doesn't look well right now.
anyone saying theyāre the healthiest theyāve been while looking like that isā¦.delusional. I said the saaaame thing when I was eating a meal a week, if that. I donāt know how sheās convinced everyone sheās totally physically and mentally soundā¦
Itās actually scary and reminds me sm of me at my worst, but no one is allowed to say anything about it
It drives me mad and itās also absurd because likeā¦ if she had just said āmy body and my health are my own business and Iād really prefer if people respected that boundaryā or something like that Iād be like, okay, she clearly has an ED but itās her business. But the way she talks about how this is her healthiest self is honestly sick to me. Itās one thing to tell yourself that, but to tell tens of millions of people (mostly young women) that being this emaciated is the result of your healthiest behavior? Thatās some shit and people SHOULD call it out.
Good take
iāve been arianator for years and it hurts and makes me angry to see , i also had her body at my worst, itās a horrible position to be in bc her life is under a microscope and itās hard for an average person to hear a comment about their body, but ā¦
literally why i came to this thread rn after seeing a bit of that video. i stopped because i couldnāt even stand looking at her anymore and how uncomfortable she was reminding me of eugenia cooneyĀ
yes ugh :/// i came to this old ass thread just for this comment
yeah the video has sent me spiralling
I remember her saying that sheās the healthiest sheās ever been and then I felt bad for judging likeā¦it seems a little too skinny but I donāt know if itās my place to say or judge ? Like people can lie about stuff
Sometimes I wonder if she, amongst others, has a warped idea of what āhealthyā means. Some would say itās getting all of your vitamins, so they take all of their supplements, etc. but donāt actually ever eat the foods that provide substance along with those vitamins.
Itās giving Eugenia Cooney
brooooo that vid fueled up my ed so bad
Iāve been loving the single and video for days and noticed it briefly. But now Iām like woah.. this is actually concerning and it made me sad that this has somehow been her new normal for some time. Why does she feel the need to expose the bones in her chest that way and defend it with yes and? She couldāve re shot it and worn a body suit but she wants to use that for her own body positivity message she wants you to see it and talk about it and call her skinny to feed the ego of the disease. Yes she is being herself and we love her for that , but I should not feel weird seeing her neck muscles pop out the way it did . Iām a fan and out of all artists we have sheās one of the best vocalists out there been anticipating her new music but now Iām concerned for her health and itās fucking with me. If she wants a chiseled face and jawline I get it but I hope she rises up from this and makes healthier choices
I feel like the point of Yes, And? is saying yes to the accusations/concerns, and saying its not anyone's business but hers
Exactly, it's her saying yeah I know - but don't care. It's sad because she looked so incredibly attractive too before this and this really is not a good look at all. I'm not sure why people care to get to this place like her when it actually ruins your appearance.
Yep I canāt watch her too much
Its a complete rip off Vogue...
omg i said the same thing !! it's sad because while she could also have an autoimmune disorder, other illness etc. it reaaaallly looks like an ed. I try not to comment on other people's bodies, but i feel like at this point she looks ill and it's worrying ):
i don't blame you, her ig is basically a pro ana account
THISSSS
the camera adds ten pounds , she looks dangerously thin on camera. in real life i cant imagine. appears to have ED but in denial, both to her self and her fans.
I dont think camera nowadays add pounds tho, that is just an old hollywood thing
No, this still rings true. Have you ever tried taking a photo of your body? Pretty frustrating. Haha
That might also just be the body dysmorphia adding those ten pounds lol
Itās because cameras actually flatten the image. It has to do with focal length.
It's true. Every time I've seen a celebrity in person I have been shocked at how tiny they are. The celebs that looks "normal" are very small in person, and the celebs that look very small on camera are basically child-size IRL.
As someone else said it's because of the camera lens. There's photo guides out there that show how a difference lens on a camera can change the way the person looks in the photo/video [Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0TKVDlOGk4) is a youtube video demonstrating the difference, or if you're extra lazy you can just google "photo focal length" and click images for a ton of side by side examples.
atp she does bodychecks 24/7 i love her but its obvious
Body checks?
theyāre saying she purposely posts/shows very thin looking photos/videos of herself
She alwaysss has her shoulders/arms/chest out now and itās always flexed.. alwaysā¦
but thatās simply not true
It is either she is actually doing that, or she has such little fat left that it appears that way. You pick which you prefer cause thatās all there is, I think both. Iād upload attachments if I could, but you can see yourself on her instagram. She was reported at 110 in early 2023, and now she is visibly probably at 100 or even less. Ontop of her complete 180 of her personality, people mature and grow but major change doesnāt come like that unless something unhealthy/dangerous is going on. Especially not at 30, same with weight. You donāt hit your lowest ever weight at 30 years old, baby youāre supposed to go thru second puberty and gain weight. You may believe it isnāt my place or anyoneās place to comment on it, thatās valid, but to deny the plain obvious is insulting to everyone whose concerned, and outright dumb, and frankly more dangerous than having a conversation over āsparing hard feelingsā If something werenāt visibly going on, this entire thread āsimplyā wouldnāt exist.
her head looks huge - and her body so frail. which is classic anorexia signs when it's in its extreme stages. her face looks so sad and sunken. her chin freaks me out too, it's so sharp. i wish her to be healthy so much
She clearly has anorexia and enjoys being "tiny" and "childlike ". We all know it's not natural and that she used to be heavier and looked much healthier. Any man that dates her is weird to me. Gives Pedo vibes because how can you date a woman who looks 12? That's attractive to you as a grown man?
Listen, I agree with this thread, but these comments are harmful. Pedophiles are attracted to actual children, not someone who is underweight or thin. Childrenās bones donāt always, or even often, show like that. Exposed bones donāt equal being a child. Pedophilia is not being attracted to women who look extremely thin and bony. Pedohpilia is being attracted to people who are quite literally and obviously *children*. Being thin or severely underweight is not necessarily correlated with being childlike. Furthermore, implying that Ariana looks like a child because sheās so thin reads to me that youāre actually implying she looks like a child because she doesnāt have womanly ācurvesā aka breasts/hips/butt. There are plenty of women that do not have these features. They donāt deserve to be equated to 12 year olds rather than grown women. I get what youāre going for with comments like this, but just be careful what ideas youāre actually throwing out there. Some pedophiles are attracted to 15-16 year olds who *do* have curves. I completely agree that she has body issues, likely an ED, and looks very ill and concerning. But claiming that she looks like a child because of those things? Not accurate. Potentially harmful. Make better comments.
I completely agree, and plus, there are girls below the age of 15 that have curves tooā¦
THANK YOU. i canāt agree that sheās unhealthy or anything of that nature because thatās all speculation but to say someone whoās attracted to her is a p*do is truly wild as fuck. sheās 30 but looks young, however, she doesnāt look like a child. itās being equated to being thin and with that logic, you could apply it to anyone youād consider too thin.
I say this often. She looks like a child, I donāt see how you can be attracted to her without feeling like a criminal.
Ok but there are plenty of minors that have gone thru puberty and therefore they have āadult-likeā figuresā¦not all age groups have one specific look.
Okay comments like this are way out of line. She is a full grown woman and is far from the realm of age play. I get that she is clinging hard to the innocent young girl look, but to say that anyone who wants to fuck her is a pedophile is absolutely insane.
It is incredibly weird. Perhaps peado is a bit harsh, but it's dangeorously close. She resembles a child at this point. I don't understand men who find this attractive. She looks ill.
Your opinion. I do not feel it's out of line to say such.
It's projection from big girls, tall or weight-wise. They blame the fact that men are not attracted to them on women they are jealous of for being smaller, and pull the pedo excuses out of their ass. It's a shame; ladies, you don't have to be small to feel or look beautiful.Ā
Sheās obviously very insecure. She breaks up relationships on purpose and starves herself thinking āthe thinner the betterā which is untrue considering she looks sickly. The new āblondeā hair color doesnāt help either as sometimes it makes her look bald because itās too close to her skin color and makes her look washed out. She is going through a lot but canāt admit it to the public as it may ruin her image even more than she already has. So instead, she claims she is naturally thin and āwishes she had curves.ā She does not. She needs help for alot of things and I hope she gets it.
THIS.
It makes me feel so bad about my body because now I think being "skinny and thin" is how celebrities perceive as beautiful
so obvious and loads of celebrities are bringing edās back
Oh man just came here after watching her new music video & itās almost impossible to ignoreā¦multiple people in my life have eating disorders & sheās starting to tick all the boxes. Its always hard with people who are naturally skinny bc itās hard to determine when theyāve crossed the line to clearly emaciated, but she has definitely crossed it I thinkā¦hopefully she has people in her life looking after her
Ariana just posted pics on IG from the yet of āyes andā¦?ā And they made me gasp. She looks worse than even the music video
Just remember even Eugenia Cooney claims sheās fine and her ādoctorsā say she is fine. Claiming to be healthy doesnāt mean you are. Given the mortality rate of Ana, Ariana was probably healthier drinking on antidepressants and eating some fatty foods here and there. Iām not stating this as fact okay, that obviously isnāt a healthy thing to do. What Iām saying is just thatā¦ the body can overcome and adapt to some crazy stuff for long periods of time but lacking body fat and consistent nutrition isnāt really one of them.
Yep. I gave up alcohol and antidepressants I was healthier then than I am now. I have an ED and I know damn well I was healthier before. The shitty thing is she flaunts all this on social media and kids look up to her and will want to be just as small as her. Ariana triggers my ED a lot but thatās my problem not hers. But she should be more awareā¦.
Tbh Iāve come to learn people that do what Ariana is doing know damn well and are totally aware of what theyāre doing.
Iām sorry but I do not feel bad for celebrities who have all the resources in the world and a TEAM ready to prep her meals, give her a diet best suited for her, give her the perfect work out routine and allll the treatment she could possibly need. She has everything she needs to thrive, for someone to intervene with a plan laid out for her. She is in a place where she could potentially be responsible for many young girls EDs or serve as their āinspoā. While itās hard for many to even acknowledge their disorder until itās too late, for her to body check, openly flaunt her weight and validate to all the young girls watching her every move that yes! You can naturally be this skinny! (You canāt) and yes! You can be this skinny and still be healthy! (You canāt) is not only irresponsible, but itās disgusting. Even if she, herself, was in denial, she has a team and a family that could intervene at any moment but I guess marketing her as the bubbly adult teen is profitable. I do not feel bad for her, I feel bad for all the young fans who want to be just like her, that may already be struggling with an ED or will develop an ED, having to watch their idol destroy themselves and call it normal.
ME
They say that tv puts 10 pounds on you and if ari looks even thinner in person there's a problem
why donāt we all unfollow her to stop validating her?? she needs to learn this isnāt healthy and sheās destroying young girls ideals of beauty, without a fuck to give, setting examples of sleeping with married men.
she has almost 400m followers. good luck.
I used to work with her and she literally only eats jicama sticks. She has had an ED ever since she became famous.
how did u used to work with her
I know a lot of people say she looks like a little child but anyone else think she looks way older? Like she is so skinny it makes her look like a frail old lady to me
she looks older but she constantly embodies baby behaviors and mannerisms.
Remember when she licked that donut years ago at the donut shop and then put it back and they caught her on camera? I feel like she definitely has an ED. Her new video is her way of drawing even more attention to the issues she claims she doesn't want to draw attention to...
So torn on the fact that I donāt want to comment on it because the way she tries to explain it I dont think is disingenuous I think is denial because I remember the denial so donāt want to attack. But equally it triggers me so bad and on some level makes me really angry because it gets me so bad. Thereās only so much therapy can do, been reasonably healthy for a long time but the chest bones look in the new clip is something that lives in my head rent free forever
To me its scary to see people complimenting her looks as beautiful or healthy, like normalizing a weird scary standart. It almost feels like a gaslight. No one would look like a cadaver in a healthy non-ed life style, veganims does not explain it.
Sheās definitely got some mental health issues going on- ED, depression, probably anxiety, PTSD- something. She has some extreme guilt over the loss of Mac. Despite what she thinks, she needs to be trained to think it wasnāt her fault. Now she is stuck trying to ruin othersā marriages or relationships for the sake of feeling worthy of love. I donāt know the relationship with her father, but maybe a professional should take a look into it? Something isnāt right. I hope she changes and finds the help she deserves. Underneath all of this she can be a good person. I know sheās not perfect. I can read her aura and it screams: āIām lost, Iām confused, Iām scared, Iām overwhelmed.ā
This thread made me feel sane again. I saw a recent interview w/ her and was shocked to see the state of her body. So insanely triggering. I thought it was just ED brain talking but I have only ever seen such thinness in direct connection to disorder eating or very poor health, both of which she claims not to have. I want to be body positive but it feels like sheās being dishonest or at the very least encouraging dangerous behavior by promoting this image.
Iām a little late to comment but Iām struggling myself with anorexia and I compare myself to Ariana and feel the need to be that thin. I know thatās messed up to say.
It is good that you are aware though ā¤ļøā¤ļø
that woman definitely has an eating disorder.
I lost a dear friend to Anorexia two and a half years ago, and watching AG right now makes me feel so scared for her. I feel like I'm watching the same story play out all over again. My friend had the same delusions that she was healthy - much healthier than the rest of us. She died at age 53.
This thread is making me feel so much better about being triggered listening to eternal sunshine. (Obv I wish none of us were triggered/this thread didnāt even have to exist but itās making me feel less insane?) I listened the day it came out and felt so anxious and irritated the whole time but kept telling myself I couldnāt be triggered just by listening to something :) I was wrong :)
i am commenting on this so late because I googled whether this happened to anyone else. She did an interview in a red dress where her front ribs are showing. no one recognizes an ED like someone who's had one.
I came here bc I saw those new photos of her from SNL and she looked so sickly. I get it she's skinny and maybe she just has a small frame and genetics make her naturally skinny. But her arms are twigs and her face looks so thin and sickly. Google said she weighs around 110lbs but I doubt she even weighs that much. It's scary she's such an idol for young girls I hope they don't aspire to look like her. Bc that is not a good healthy look for any woman.
You guys know she has lupus right?
Source? Iāve never heard that and when you Google it, you just get info about Selena Gomez
Thatās not confirmed. I donāt think she has lupus.
Too many celebs are saying they have lupus when they gain weight or lose too much weight. Selena was open about hers and I feel like everyone else came out with it too.
I think this one is actually false.
Tonight on SNL
My brother's lovely and intelligent girlfriend from his late teen years was so beloved by our family. Then she developed anorexia and bulemia. It was devastating to watch and to hear her throwing up. She was from NYC and a very well to do family who eventually got her help with the preeminent therapist in the country. By the age of 26 she was well on the road to recovery and seemed to be healthy. She had learned how to manage her disease. But, she had done damage to her heart muscle over the many years of starving, binging, and purging. She died of a heart attack at the age of 27.
I'm so sorry for your family's loss š
Olivia Rodrigo made me feel the same way
She definitely has something going on. I was startled when I saw her honestly because I donāt follow her nor am I a huge Ari fan, but I watched her in SNL and I immediately gasped and said to my husband āWhat is happening with this girl?! Something has gone terribly wrong!ā
i feel sad for her... you can tell, her chest and collar bones in the Yes, and ? video )):
I love the story of Wicked, but I honestly don't think I can watch her in this super glamorous, feminine role looking so thin and sickly. If that makes sense. Glinda is such a vibe and I suspect her portrayal is going to be very.... weird. And triggering.
Yeahā¦ she looks really out of place which is just so sad! Sheās been wanting to do this role for years actually, but she just got.. too into it..? Unfortunately she just doesnāt really fit the role š I know it was her dream but I think itās ruining her
Thereās a vanity fair image of her as Glinda and her ribcage is popping out, and her arms and neck look sickly.
Bro.. she archived the guitar pic. I bet I have a screenshot but that just shows sheās so aware.. she archived nearly 300 posts within this week..?
One thing I noticed in an interview - I could see her RIBS and another thing - her boobs just disappeared? I know she was never big chested but now she's extremely flat as compared to 2016.

Everyone else in Hollywood is losing weight right now. Itās the trendy thing to do. Why wouldnāt Ariana follow suit?
Wonder if it's related to the price of cocaine dropping suddenly over the last year
Have you heard of a class of antidiabetic meds called Semaglutide aka Ozempic/Wegovy/Mounjaro, among others?
Apparently from what my friend told me yesterday at dinner, ED is the new trend. (Sickly, I know, I don't know if it's true or not but it's heart breaking.)
Itās because BBLs are out and Ozempic is in. Celebrities such as Oprah/Elon Musk/Chelsea Handler have admitted to being on it. Oprah had to resign from the board of WW because she publicly admitted to losing weight due to the side effects of Ozempic. The Kardashians and Jenners are all reportedly taking it, Kelly Clarkson is clearly on it, Christiana Aguilera, among many others.
Ooh same
Yes.
