The edition, which was dedicated to this particular film, was supplemented with pre-recorded footage in which this trio appeared. Ariana’s voice worried fans this time. As reported by the British newspaper Daily Mail, she was hoarse and seemed to be speaking badly.

The newspaper also published several comments from fans. “Oh my God, Ariana was so sick,” read one shocked post.

Another person responded: “Her opening her mouth to breathe every now and then because I damn well know her nose is stuffy,” Another claimed she was “smiling despite the pain,” while another added: “It got worse with every conversation.”

“The unhealthiest version of me”

The truth is that the appearance of the actress from the last period causes many to worry about her health. Last year in particular, during the promotional tour for the film, Grande was the subject of controversy, with many concerned about her slim figure.

As the newspaper further noted, health experts have long warned that a visible sternum and emaciated cheeks in an adult can be a sign of health problems, including malnutrition. In the case of Ariana Grande, it led to speculations as to whether she also suffers from health problems.

She commented on this directly in her video on TikTok.

“The body you’re comparing my current body to was the unhealthiest version of me. I was on a lot of anti-depressants along with drinking alcohol and eating junk food,” she said.

And she continued, “I was at the worst point in my life when I looked like what you think is my healthy self, but it wasn’t really my healthy self.” She did not give more details but emphasized: “You never know what someone is going through.”

The actress herself was publicly confronted with it several times. However, it seemed to be a very sensitive topic for her. For example, in one of the interviews in November 2024, she could not hide her inner movement.

The comments touch her

When asked by her editor how she copes with societal ‘beauty standards’ and the ‘overwhelming’ pressure women feel to ‘always look perfect’, the pop star was momentarily overcome with emotion.

“My God. I’m not going to…,” she said first, and after a moment to calm down, continued: “I’m doing this in the public eye, so to speak, and I’ve been, you know, kind of a specimen in a petri dish, really since I was 16 or 17 years old. I’ve heard every version of what’s wrong with me. And then you fix it, and then it’s bad for other reasons,” Page Six quoted her as saying.

Ariana compared it to having dinner with her grandmother, who always comments on how a person looks and if something is wrong with them.

“I think there’s a level of comfort in today’s society that we shouldn’t have at all — commenting on other people’s appearance, their appearance, what people think is going on behind the scenes, or their health, or how they present themselves,” she continued.

Who is Ariana Grande and where does she make the most money?

According to her, the trans youth is suffering: A well-known star is not afraid of criticism, where are her millions headed most recently?

From what you’re wearing, to your body, to your face, to your everything — there’s a level of comfort with which people comment on all of this, which I think is really dangerous,” she said, adding, “and I think it’s dangerous for all parties involved.”

Despite the unsolicited public comments about her appearance, she said she feels really lucky because she has a support system that constantly reminds her that she is beautiful.

She has advice for others who may be facing something similar: “Any way you can protect yourself from that noise — whether it’s at a family gathering or online, if you have to block people, I don’t care if you have to delete the app entirely — protect yourself because no one has the right to say a word.”
