Regarding world-famous singer Ariana Grande, who has recently drawn attention for her extreme weight loss, the previously surfaced claim that she is 'struggling with anorexia' has come back into the spotlight. The famous star, stating that these claims deeply upset her, said that due to 'endless public pressure,' she will retreat into seclusion after her 'Eternal Sunshine' tour, which ends on September 1st.
Ariana Grande, who has become one of the most important names in world pop music with hits like 'Problem', 'Break Free', 'Into You', 'No Tears Left To Cry', '7 Rings', 'Thank U, Next', 'Positions', and 'We Can't Be Friends', has managed to break record after record not only on music charts but also on digital platforms.
Grande, whose powerful voice and vocal range leave people in awe, has carried her name to the top with numerous Grammy awards and millions of album sales.
A GLOBAL PHENOMENON
The famous singer, who has managed to become one of the iconic figures of pop culture with her signature ponytail hairstyle, unique stage style, and makeup, in addition to her music, has become a global phenomenon by being among the most followed users on social media.
However, in recent years, alongside her long-standing achievements, her physical appearance has been a topic of discussion. Especially with the observation that she has been getting thinner and thinner in red carpet events she attended and photos taken with her fans, she has frequently become a subject of debate on social media platforms.
ANOREXIA?
Although various claims such as 'she is struggling with anorexia' are occasionally put forward about the famous star on the internet, this has never been confirmed. Ariana Grande, on the other hand, has previously stated in her statements that it is extremely dangerous for people to make comments based on external appearance and emphasized that everyone's health story is different.
Grande also explained that her old period, when many of her fans said 'she looked healthier before', was actually the most difficult period for her both physically and mentally. Grande, who revealed that she was heavily using antidepressants and eating unhealthily during that period, stated that today she feels much better. Nevertheless, especially the photos shared in recent months have created a new wave of great concern on social media due to her shoulders, neck, and collarbones being prominently visible.
THIS TIME, HER APPEARANCE WAS THE TALK OF THE TOWN
The music video prepared for 'Petal', one of the lead tracks from her new album, went viral on social media as soon as it was released. While each of her previously released videos was discussed for its cinematography, this time Grande's appearance was the topic. The famous singer, who adopted a retro style in her video, appeared before the camera wearing a black top that completely exposed her shoulders, tight black leggings, and a thin scarf tied around her neck. Especially in close-up shots, the prominent appearance of her collarbones, shoulders, and neck area did not escape the viewers' attention.
HER FANS ARE WORRIED
The video, which quickly became a trend on social media, received thousands of shares. Many of her fans made comments stating that the artist's latest appearance worried them. After the increase in claims about Ariana Grande's health and weight began to occupy the tabloid agenda, this pressure and scrutiny caused the world-famous star to withdraw.
SHE DECIDED TO GO INTO SECLUSION
According to the information obtained, the Oscar-nominated and Grammy-winning artist will reduce her visibility in the public sphere and live away from the spotlight for a while after her 'Eternal Sunshine' tour, which will end on September 1. Grande's representatives, who made a statement on the matter, cited the 'endless public pressure' the artist was exposed to at the events she attended as the reason for this planned break.
The statement included the following expressions: 'She looks forward to completing her tour in a healthy, happy, and high-energy manner. Afterwards, she will take a well-deserved break from her high-profile work and public events that have led to constant scrutiny. This tour has been a wonderful experience for her; she loves her fans and has enjoyed every moment of the tour.'
CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGED TO APPEAR BEFORE THE PUBLIC
Ariana Grande, who will step away from the spotlight, has also left the cast of Stephen Sondheim's theatrical play 'Sunday in the Park with George', which was planned to be staged at London's Barbican Centre next summer and in which she was to star alongside her 'Wicked' co-star Jonathan Bailey.
However, this period of Grande staying out of the spotlight may not last very long. The star shares the lead role with Ben Stiller in 'Focker-In-Law', the sequel to the 'Meet the Parents' series, which will be released on November 25. The artist, who has the seventh most-followed account on Instagram with 363 million followers and has great popularity worldwide, is expected to participate in the film's promotional activities before its release as per her contract.
