Ariana Grande‘s recent weight loss has raised concerns about her health among loved ones. The pop star has been following a vegan diet for years, but the source said Grande has “taken it to extremes.” “She subsists on the bare minimum – like smoothies, kale, seeds, nuts, broccoli and tofu,” the source added. “It’s gotten to the point where her shoulder blades are poking out. There’s very little flesh on her figure.”
Ariana has been busy shooting the musical Wicked in the U.K. lately, and eyewitnesses reported that she looked emaciated while leaving a London jazz club. However, Grande recently addressed the concerns about her weight loss in a candid TikTok video.
“I just wanted to address your concerns about my body and talk a little bit about what it means to be a person with a body, and to be seen and to be paid such close attention to,” she said.
Grande acknowledged that people have been comparing her current physique to the one she had while “on a lot of antidepressants” and “drinking on them and eating poorly.”
She said there are “many different ways” to look healthy and beautiful, adding that people should be less comfortable commenting on others’ bodies: “Healthy, unhealthy, big, small, this, that, sexy, not sexy, I don’t… We just shouldn’t. We should really work towards not doing that as much.”
She’s getting in shape for the Glinda role
Grande‘s fans are excited to see her playing Glinda The Good Witch in the upcoming musical Wicked. She recently shared a photo of herself wearing a sparkling pink gown with a glittering crown and wand to match. Grande beat out other talented actresses, including Reneé Rapp, Taylor Louderman, Dove Cameron, and Amanda Seyfried, for the coveted role.
While Grande’s weight loss has raised concerns, she seems to be taking a positive approach to her body image and encouraging others to do the same. As she said in her TikTok video: “There’s no right or wrong way to deal with this stuff.”
