After recent criticism of her looks on social media, singer Ariana Grande urged fans to be “gentler and less comfortable” with making comments about her and other people’s bodies.
Ariana Grande said in a TikTok video that people “paid such close attention to” her physique and that she “wanted to address” any concerns.
It follows user comments about her alleged recent weight reduction.
It was “the unhealthiest version of my body” that Ariana Grande claimed they were “comparing to my current body.”
“I was on a lot of antidepressants, drinking on them, eating poorly, and at the lowest point of my life when I looked the way you consider my healthy, but that actually wasn’t my healthy,” the 29-year-old US actress said.
“I realize that I shouldn’t have to explain it, but I do believe that by being open and vulnerable here, something positive could result. That’s the first thing, however, I have no idea. Different things might look healthy.
“The second aspect is that you never know what someone is going through,” she concluded. That individual likely is working on it or has a support system that they are working with, even if you are approaching them from a kind and caring position.
Experts claim that physical remarks have an influence on mental health.
Ariana Grande is not the first famous person who has addressed remarks regarding their figure. Adele expressed disappointment in the “brutal conversations” about her weight reduction to Vogue in October 2021, while Jonah Hill asked his Instagram followers to stop from criticizing his physique after losing weight in the same month.
“Nothing is certain. So, treat one another and yourself with kindness”.
Even if you think your intentions are genuine, criticizing someone’s looks can be damaging, according to experts, including body image specialists.
Making comments regarding a person’s body, whether that be the size, shape, or pretty much anything else, is not only improper but can also be upsetting, according to Rachel Goldman, a clinical assistant professor at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and a licensed psychologist with a New York City address.
In a recent interview with USA TODAY, Dr Elizabeth Wassenaar, regional medical director at the Eating Recovery Center, said that bringing up a person’s weight promotes the idea that their outward appearance is what matters most about them.
“These comments about how your body is acceptable or not, it emphasizes again that you are not valued more than your body… and that you must present yourself in a certain way for the world to find you acceptable,” the woman claimed. We are so much more than this body that carries us, so it only promotes that shallow, body-focused mentality that we know is terrible and detrimental for each and every one of us.
Some social media users on Tuesday criticized the body-shaming mentality that gave rise to Gomez and Ariana Grande videos.
One user commented, “Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande shouldn’t have to go on a public platform to explain their weight gain/loss because of abhorrent criticism,” adding, “It’s awful, cruel and unfair, especially today.”
