Ariana Grande has addressed the recent speculation about her appearance.The pop sensation has been the subject of social media chatter regarding her looks while promoting the screen adaptation of Wicked the Musical.Last month, Ariana, 31, sparked concern when she appeared at a photocall for the production in Los Angeles, leaving fans worried.
Despite staying silent on the online remarks, the Positions singer became emotional as she made a rare confession after being asked about beauty standards in the music and film industry.Speaking alongside her co-star Cynthia Erivo, Ariana expressed that there's a "comfortability" people have when discussing others' appearances, which she finds "really dangerous.""I think it's dangerous for all parties involved," she stated.
Ariana continued: "I've been doing this in front of the public, a specimen on a petri dish really since I was 16 or 17, I have heard it all.
I've heard every version of what's wrong with me, then you fix it and it's wrong for different reasons." The Glinda actress shared her thoughts on the pressures of appearance, saying: "The simplest things, your appearance, you're young, it's hard to protect yourself from that noise and I think it's something that's uncomfortable no matter what scale you're experiencing it on. "Even if you go to Thanksgiving Dinner and someone's granny says 'Oh my God you look skinnier, what happened? ' or 'Oh my God you look heavier, what happened? ', that is something that is uncomfortable and horrible, no matter where it's happening, no matter the scale it's happening on", reports the Mirror.
