Ariana Grande On Being Body-Shamed
The Don’t Look Up actor took to TikTok and addressed the issue of body shaming. On speaking about her mental health and body image Ariana Grande believes that something good might come from being open and vulnerable. However, celebrities are often seen as a symbol of power and fame, it is difficult for them to come out as someone weak or vulnerable in the public eye. The Side To Side singer went on to express-
“There are many different ways to look healthy and beauty. And personally, for me, the body that you’ve been comparing my current body to was the unhealthiest version of my body.”
The celebrated songwriter suffers from Hypoglycemia. She even had drugs and alcohol issues. Ariana Grande spoke about her struggles while she dealt with body shaming.
“I was on a lot of anti-depressants and drinking on them and eating poorly and at the lowest point of my life when I looked the way you consider my healthy, but that, in fact, wasn’t my healthy.”
The singer urged people to be gentle and kind towards each other because everyone is fighting their own battle.
“Sending you guys a lot of love, and I think you’re beautiful no matter what you’re going through, no matter what weight, no matter how you like to do your makeup these days, no matter what cosmetic procedures you’ve had — or not — or anything,” she said. “I just think you’re beautiful and wanted to share some feelings. Have a very beautiful day, and I’m sending you a lot of love.”
Ariana Grande signed off on a lighter note after addressing one of the burning issues of our society.
Ariana Grande And Other Hollywood Celebrities Who Have Been Body-Shamed
As actors and artists, they are always expected to be perfect. They have to pay a price for crossing the lines of societal beauty standards. However, they are the worst victims of body shaming. They are trolled and criticized for gaining weight or being too skinny. Over the years, celebrities have also spoken about their bad mental and physical health. Reputed celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Serena Williams, and Tyra Banks have been body shamed.
When an Instagram user had tried to make fun of the Kidney transplant scar, Selena Gomez went and responded to the hater as-
“The beauty myth: an obsession with physical perfection that traps [the] modern woman in an endless cycle of hopelessness, self consciousness, and self-hatred as she tries to fulfill society’s impossible definition of flawless beauty,” said the Calm Down singer. “I chose to take care of myself because I want to, not to prove anything to anyone. Wind in her sails.”
Fashion icon Kim Kardashian was slammed by critics after giving birth to her daughter North West
“Anyone who has had a baby knows how hard it is to lose weight…your body totally changes! Making fun of me pregnant and making fun of me trying to lose weight now, shame on you. I’m not perfect but I will never conform to your skinny standards sorry!”
Some celebrities have become so used to body shaming that they don’t even bother to respond, but time and again some of them have always spoken up against the trolls and haters.
