Ariana Grande is out here living her best life, sipping her Starbucks, hitting those high notes, and minding her business. But the internet, being the internet, has decided that her body is now the topic of global discussion. Because, of course, it is.
It’s a tale as old as time, women, especially celebrities, can’t exist in peace without someone, somewhere, dissecting their bodies like a Thanksgiving turkey. So, while certain individuals like Andrew Tate are out there handing out imaginary “access denied” cards, let’s talk about what really matters. Why people need to stop body-policing women and why Ariana Grande is still that girl.
Andrew Tate and the art of unsolicited opinions
If there’s one thing Andrew Tate loves more than talking about himself, it’s offering unsolicited opinions. Recently, he took to social media to share his thoughts on Ariana Grande’s physique, and, unsurprisingly, his take was as unnecessary as ever.
He chose not to focus on his own pursuits, which mostly included flaunting cars and offering questionable life advice. Instead, Tate felt the need to announce that Grande is now too skinny for his taste, as if the world was waiting for his approval. Fans are furious at his remarks. Some show concern for Grande’s health while others point out how his opinion doesn’t matter.
Ariana Grande, a Grammy-winning, Oscar-nominated, chart-topping, multi-talented artist, doesn’t need validation from a man whose greatest contribution to society so far has been… well, missing.
The real question is, why do people like Tate think their preferences are the gold standard? Women aren’t menu items at a restaurant, waiting for approval before they’re deemed desirable. If Grande is happy, that’s all that matters.

If there’s one thing the internet loves more than cat videos, it’s criticizing women for existing. Whether it’s too fat, too thin, too muscular, or too unrecognizable, people seem to think they have a VIP pass to comment on someone else’s body.
Ariana Grande has gone through a noticeable weight change, and like clockwork, the peanut gallery has arrived, armed with opinions no one asked for. Some are concerned, some are straight-up mean, and some act like they personally own stock in her calorie intake.
Let’s get something straight, a person’s body is not a group project. Ariana isn’t submitting her diet for peer review. If she’s happy, healthy, and thriving, that’s all that should matter. But instead of celebrating her accomplishments, people are fixated on the size of her arms. Priorities, people!
