Ariana Grande’s Boyfriend Drops New Photos, Leaving Fans Alarmed as Her Appearance Sparks Fresh Concern
Ariana Grande recently stepped away from the limelight after wrapping her latest musical tour. The singer announced that she would maintain a low profile during her break. However, her boyfriend, Ricky Álvarez, shared unseen photos of the singer. Her latest pictures once again sparked online commentary about her thin physique.
Álvarez recently took to Instagram to share a carousel of photos featuring the Wicked star. In one of the photos, Grande wore a red, checkered, ruffled dress. She smiled at the camera while tilting her head to the side.
The carousel also featured two pictures of blue ballerinas, while the final image showed a bronze razor blade. “Purpose and value,” Álvarez captioned the carousel. In reaction to his post, an Instagram user wrote, “Pictures of a celebrity starving themselves in front of us all followed by a razor blade doesn’t give artsy and cute.”
A fan added, “The muscle wasting is so so sad. I really hope she is okay and gets help,” while another penned, “it’s giving delete the post.” Some fans also defended Grande, claiming that she is regularly trolled for her appearance. “Why do people have to be so mean? Always ready to criticize others’ bodies, appearances, or lifestyles. She is a human being just like all of you, and she gives us majestic music and beautiful shows,” a fan wrote.
Another one pointed out that Grande stepped down from the spotlight due to trolls. When she announced her decision to do so, social media users reportedly claimed that nobody was scrutinizing her. However, the moment her new picture was dropped, trolls rushed to the comment section to talk about her physique.
Grande often addressed the harsh comments she continuously heard about her body and changing weight. According to the BBC, the songstress addressed the trolls on TikTok, saying that there are “many different ways to look healthy and beautiful.”
A representative for Grande announced her decision to step back from public life at the time. The spokesperson said that, after ‘endless, ongoing public scrutiny,’ the singer would be ‘taking a step back from visibility.’
“She looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily,” the statement further said. However, the spokesperson confirmed that Grande will not be seen singing on stage anytime soon. They said that she was “taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny.”
According to E! News, Grande announced the last show of her Eternal Sunshine tour in Chicago. She addressed the audience and told them that it was not an impromptu decision. Instead, she decided to step back a long while ago.
“Multiple things can be true at the same time,” Grande added before claiming that she needed to set boundaries between her and her trolls. She argued, “Human beings can need a break sometime,” before confirming that she was looking forward to the break at the time.
There was a lot of buzz around Grande’s physically demanding set during her tour. However, a source close to her revealed that she “performs healthily and successfully at a very high level night after night.”
