It should have been a triumph. Ariana Grande, the pop megastar who captivated the globe with her voice and persona, was meant to be basking in the glorious reception of her turn as Glinda in the colossal film adaptation of Wicked. Instead, according to heartbreaking new claims from members of her own family, the recent, relentless press tour for the movie has left her in a deeply worrying state.
Anonymous members of the singer's family have now revealed a distressing portrait of the star, alleging to the MailOnline that she is 'not in a healthy place' and detailing two specific moments that have left her 'struggling' profoundly. The global spotlight, they suggest, has not been a source of celebration but of intense anxiety and mental strain, causing 'cracks' to show in the star's carefully constructed public composure.
