Ariana Grande Shares Loving Reminder Amid Body Shaming Criticism

Ariana Grande's Response to Body Criticism

Ariana Grande shared a heartfelt "loving reminder" by resharing a video from last year's Wicked press tour on her Instagram Story. In the clip, she addresses ongoing body-shaming comments she's faced since her teenage years.

Key Statements from the Video

Grande opens emotionally:

“I don't do this often. I don't like it. I'm not good at it. But I just wanted to address your concerns about my body...”

She reflects on the relentless criticism:

“I’ve heard it all. I’ve heard every version of it — what’s wrong with me, and then you fix it, and then it’s wrong for different reasons.”

The singer explains her coping strategy:

“It’s hard to protect yourself from that noise... I have work to do, I have a life to live, I have friends to love on, I have so much love, and it’s not invited, so I don’t leave space for it anymore.”

Context and Fan Support

This reminder follows the release of Wicked: For Good, where her slim appearance alongside Cynthia Erivo sparked renewed backlash. Fans rallied online, decrying the shaming and praising her strength. Grande stresses that such judgments harm everyone and calls for kindness toward diverse bodies.
