Ariana Grande Asked Fans to Stop Commenting on Her Body in 2023: The Same Words Are Back Under New Photos

Ariana Grande asked followers in April 2023 to be gentler about other people's bodies. That request went unheard under Instagram pictures her boyfriend, Ricky Alvarez, shared last week. One X user wrote 'please get her help' on 17 September. Beneath the pictures, a second commenter accused her of starving herself in public.

Grande, 33, has since stepped back from public life. Her team announced the break on 2 August, and her Eternal Sunshine Tour ended in London on 1 September. Two eating disorder experts say the remarks rarely reach Grande herself. Those words land on readers who share Grande's shape.
