Terribly thin.
I hope she can turn this around before its too late.
Im sure her organs are working overtime, read one comment.
Another said, She suffers from anxiety and this picture actually looks as if she is getting better.
She was smaller than this at one point.
I hope shes okay.
She doesnt look well, another wrote.
…Something is up.
Many were quick to claim her appearance was the result of an eating disorder (ED).
This is anrexia, one claimed while another agreed saying, Damn, shes anrexic.
She needs help as soon as possible.
Before her heart stops.
This is actually getting really concerning, another said.
Every time shes out and about she looks like shes getting skinnier.
She clearly has an ED and she needs help, another claimed.
Shes scarily skinny these days … Atp shes just skin and bones.
Ariana Grande became famous as a Nickelodeon child star around age 17.
Her fans identify with her youth.
This is an extension of the extraordinary pressure and societal expectation of women, Dr. Wanis said.
I have heard it all.
Ive heard every version of it, she told French content creator Crazy Sally in December.
Apart from being invasive and unethical, the relentless commentary on a celebritys appearance can contribute to psychological harm.
This applies to all women, not just celebrities, Dr. Wanis said.
When society makes assumptions without medical facts, it can also create harmful representations aboutwhat EDs actually are.
It is key to note that not all kinds of weight loss indicate the presence of an ED.
Diet, nutrition, exercise, stress, sleep, and other factors contribute to fluctuations in weight.
Hence, false assumptions about ones appearance can impact the stigma around EDs.
How long are yall going to keep talking about this womans body and weight?
