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.
