**From writer Rebecca Morrison:**
Every time I see Ariana Grande on the red carpet or in interviews lately, I feel a mix of fear and anger. Not at her, her beautiful spirit, breathtaking voice or right to move through the world in the body she chooses. But at what she’s come to symbolize.
Extreme thinness is back, and it’s being packaged as aspiration. Grande and Cynthia Erivo are everywhere promoting “Wicked” in interviews, photo shoots, red carpet events. Their bodies and the ultra-thin bodies of other celebrities ― small, smaller, smallest ― are glamorized and showcased with the media positioning Grande as one the main figures to be celebrated.
Even though there has been some criticism, it’s been drowned out by the mega promotion machine that celebrates these figures, and plasters them everywhere with great fanfare.
Here’s a link to my full essay: [https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ariana-grande-very-thin-celebrities-wicked_n_692dfad5e4b0520d940a43e6?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=reddit&utm_campaign=us_main](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ariana-grande-very-thin-celebrities-wicked_n_692dfad5e4b0520d940a43e6?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=reddit&utm_campaign=us_main)
Her beautiful spirit, breathtaking voice. Mmmhmm.
I’m glad she wrote this, but it won’t make a dent on the skinny press.
It seems an endless cycle of people in the media obtaining unrealistic and often unhealthy bodies then eventually the press points out what a bad example it is for young people. Then it all starts again.
Idk bros. I’m in the „perhaps she IS too thin, but it’s none of my business“ boat. I don’t HAVE to be as thin as her. I see more people expressing worry than setting her weight as a standard.
i’m not saying that we wouldn’t see the trend otherwise, but i have to wonder about the impact of these think pieces that keep insisting “Thin Is Back In!” like they’re reporting on the weather
I haven’t been keeping up with pop culture. Is this about the Wizard of Ozempic? Haven’t seen it yet.
Who exactly is glamorizing the sickly thin version of these women?
I’ve seen nothing but concern about it .
It does seem to be a trend lately. What’s her name from Wednesday, has been looking really skinny too.
I see we are still in the era of policing women’s bodies. Right now it’s Ariana, Beyonce and Britney. And everyone always insists it’s for noble reasons.
So what is the press supposed to do? Not take pictures of the leading women in one of the most successful movies in recent history? If they were plus sized would the essay be taking jabs at portraying obesity as aspirational?
They’re aspirational because they’re wildly talented and successful, if you find them aspirational due to thinness, that’s far more of a personal problem than a media problem
I’m old enough to have lived through the skeleton, heroin chic trend of the 90s, and the no carb ultra thinness of the 2000s. It just goes on and on.
This conversation’s been going on since the late sixties. And the only thing that’s changed is they’ve given women more tools to get even more skinnier.
The 2010s BBL era was far from perfect but at least the trend everyone was chasing on the hamster wheel involved a healthy and complete body.
I feel bad that she’s become the poster child for the 2020s thin crisis and its critique. And I hope she’s able to recover from whatever it is she’s going through and I hope the constant discussion isn’t making it worse. But I can’t agree that she looks healthy and I can’t agree that everyone should avoid talking about bodies this severely thin because this shouldn’t go normalized.
The „twiggy alien“ look is sooooo hot right now
Her beautiful spirit?
She’s cheated on every guy she has ever dated since she was 18 years old. She’s cheated on mac, big Sean, Ricky, dalton, the list goes on. She is notoriously known for being extremely rude to restaurant staff, disney staff, people working for her & many more.
She never gave the Manchester victims families the gifts she promised them, showed up late to meet families and victims of the Manchester attack in the hospital and those are the ones she actually showed up to, many others were suppose to meet her and she never showed up. She was rude to them and left immediately after.
She use to tan her skin darker, talk in a fake “blaccent” and use AAVE.
She’s been involved in so many controversies & drama – all caused by her actions & behavior and mistreatment towards others over the years
I mean these are just some the list goes on and on and on
She’s so skinny she looks unwell and unattractive to me. Like if she put on 10 pounds she would still be very skinny but would look healthy.
Ariana’s come a long way from the days when she used to spit on donuts at the counter.
The crazy thing is… like 99.9% of the comments I’ve seen all over social media about it seem to be that she’s too thin and it isn’t a positive thing with how thin she is. Unless I am missing something?
Celebrities don’t owe you anything
Ozempic basically killed the body positivity movement. And since ozempic exists now, it’s never coming back. But at least we can start to make a dent in our obesity problem, which is one of the greatest issues we have. Celebrities need to maintain their unnatural beauty standards in order to stay relevant, especially with social media. So they’re always going to be super thin and have a lot of work done. Just how it is.
America has to be the most self hating society in the world.
Lol let’s not pretend all this concern trolling isn’t just yet another catty tear down of celebrities now that it’s socially acceptable to say downright appalling insults to skinny people, usually women, and mask it with a veneer of concern. Yeah, calling Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo disgusting skeletons really shows y’all care about EDs lol.
If y’all truly cared about people’s weight affecting their health maybe focus on the fact that not only are we one of the most obese nations in the world, our top causes of death are all related to obesity?
It is one of the most difficult mental heath illnesses to cure (anorexia.)
She has no time for fixing you, why spend any on fixing her?
We just need to stop talking about women’s bodies. Everyone is different. Pointing out skinniness, even when expressing genuine or non-genuine concern, is body shaming in a different font. We went through a movement of body acceptance for bigger bodies, which is great, but doesn’t mean that obesity doesn’t have health risks. Does that mean we should blame bigger celebrities for “promoting” an unhealthy body if they happen to be overweight? No. The same goes for being “underweight” which who even knows what that is because BMI isn’t a great measure of health and everyone’s body carries weight differently. I can’t help but think we would have less “trends” of weight if we simply put less focus and attention on it. Things like this, opening up discussion on whether an individual’s weight/body is impacting the public just continues those conversations. Yes, she’s a public figure so people will talk, but this is a private health issue for Ariana and all of us individually
It’s scary as young girls lookup to these stars.
ED can kill you, signed retired psych nurse.
Trends do repeat.
Kate Moss at her thinnest was never this thin
I teach at a middle school in Los Angeles. Almost every girl is obese. None of them look up from their phones enough to care about Ariana or Cynthia.
I just hope no one blames me for her desire to be that thin.
I feel like they’re gonna die in a suicide pact together one day
Y’all… this is two people. Where is the trend? These two a trend does not make!! Outside like maybe the Kardashians getting thin, who else is doing this?
Too much of anything is bad. The same exact issue happened when bbls and being thick was in. Don’t ignore the harm both messages have.
Is it a trend though? It seems to just be these two.
Unless i am unaware of some other celebs or something. I just hope its not a trend though since its super unhealthy.
Erivo looks like a jealous stalker when anyone else interacts with Arianna.
What happened on this set, I don’t understand. No one, not a single person said anything the whole shoot? It was so noticeable and borderline distracting the whole movie.
People finding another way to complain about people they never even thought about before this….
These women who want to look like a maga women with terrible botox or the ultra skinny actresses that think being skin and bones is sexy really need to rethink their choices in life.
I have heard various medical professionals say that that the weight loss caused by these drugs are damaging the muscle of those losing too much weight. Once you get to a certain point, where you have reached the healthiest balance of body fat for you, whatever that is, if you are not diligent on consuming enough protein and calcium etc you start losing muscle mass, and if your older it doesn’t come back. Some people have lost up to 54 percent of their weight in muscle. If your an older woman that is catastrophic. I worked in a nursing home with a dentist ward and when women began losing weight quickly broken bones followed if they were still mobile. One woman lost 20 lbs over the course of 3 months, she was like 75, nonverbal dementia but mobile. She broke her hip and no one knew for a week. We saw the bruising but her Dr didn’t X-ray because she kept motoring around. My point is these starlets are losing muscle mass needed to keep themselves alive. It isn’t just the ozempic, they are not eating enough protein either.
Jesus christ. So much about this is absolutely insane. No shit. All the people making fun of Ariana and Cynthia aren’t going “oh wow that looks like the picture of health.” Also sized advocates have been spending decades trying to convince people that it’s not ok to talk about big people’s bodies. If you follow that logic, then stfu about small people’s bodies too. Neither is healthy so either you silently accept that or you go after both of them.
It’s a stupid article. How they look isn’t a fad that’s back in like it’s a summer clothing line. I haven’t seen a single positive comment on their appearances, everything I’ve seen is how unhealthy they look
I don’t want the bodies of individual people like Cynthia and Ariana (among others) to be treated as something to “blame” or judge them for, but I do find this conversation to be important.
Even people who are no longer teenagers and have a history of eating disorders deserve concern. To be honest, I’m about 20 kilos heavier now than I was during my ED days – back then I was basically just a skeleton with some skin. For years I hoped I would eventually reach the weight I have today, and I genuinely worked toward it.
But over the last year or so, those old thoughts of “you’re too fat, why do you have a belly” have started creeping back in. I don’t hold celebrities responsible for that, not at all, but I can sense a shift in beauty standards that makes it harder for me to feel comfortable maintaining a healthy weight.
Ariana grande looks like she got microwaved. I swear, Bob Iger is physically draining the life force from her behind the scenes on wicked.
My 12 year old ordered a scale from Amazon and hid it under her bed. I had a long talk w her about it and brought up the wicked stars. I’m pissed and so completely over these bony “oh this is my naturally healthy body” celebrities.
I was a teen when Nicole Richie was at her skinniest and I thought she looked great!! You don’t think sensibly at that age and these people are very influential to developing brains.
You literally could not escape Ariana and Cynthia’s skeletal frames these last two years – the damage on many 9-14 year olds is done (many older than that too!)
Im curious as to why its ok to speak on someone’s body when they’re thin but if it was someone over weight it would be body shaming. Whenever a woman is thin suddenly people come out of tbe woodwork to discuss how unhealthy she is, make fun of her, shame her, outright call her names for her thinness but if she was fat you would be cancelled for body shaming. There is NEVER a time where its ok to speak on another persons body unless you are that persons dr, dietician or that person. So shes skinny so what!?, Ariana has spoken on this many times. She is the happiest she has ever been. Just leave her alone already. Worry about your body and mind your own business.
Ppl who are extremely thin are not only not hot it’s gross! I am a thin man so i don’t experience the same negativity but its just not hot to be so so thin
“Hollywood is all about body positivity until they get their chubby little fingers on Ozempic”
If there’s anything more real on how shallow these wombats are it’s the obesity positivity to Ozempic movement
