    Honestly, every other comment in that thread threw away their humanity to get one in on the rich girl with an ED. The excuse could be made that it was in a shitpost community but it’s clear the post wasn’t calling for ridicule. I’m really disappointed.

    The rest of this comment is just ranting. Skip if you want.

    How very cute, a pun about “Grande” meaning large while she’s withering in front of us from not eating. How brave, calling her scum for being rich and having an ED. Why yes, anorexia does make one look like a skeleton. Why yes, this is an appropriate time to exacerbate her fans and accuse her of stolen valor about her skin color. (/s)

    I’m so tired. I grew up learning all about EDs in school and I feel like no one else was paying attention or we collectively forgot just how many friends killed themselves that way. This was a part of the 90’s and 00’s celebrity culture that I was hoping died there. I hope Ariana gets actual help before it kills her or hurts those impressionable enough to copy her. And I don’t even fucking like her.

      I just wish anyone in her life would help her see she needs help, before it is too late. I’m not a fan, but I’m capable of feeling for her and what she must be going through for her ED to become so serious. She’s always struggled with it, but the last few years seem like they have been harder for her

        Supposedly she’s taking a break

        “She looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny,” the rep explains

        Her reps are still framing this ED as “healthy” though.

          Yeah this shit is abuse. The mentally well people around her, who are enabling this disease and lying about her health, are abusing her. And she, in turn, is abusing the young people who look up to her and trust what she and her marketing team say about health and beauty.

          Anorexia is like covid, it’s a contagious disease. You can be suffering and killing other people at the same time. You have to take the vaccine or talk to a therapist while you’re well, so you don’t hurt others when you get sick.

          I wonder how much of that is being stoked by her team. They all make money from her performing. It makes sense that she’s been allowed to fall this far into the disorder when she’s completely surrounded by “yes men”.

      On that “joke”, I saw someone on Mastodon “joke” that she’s now Ariane Venti.

      But no, there’s no misogyny in the Fediverse.
