Ariana Grande takes break from public life after tour amid 'endless' criticism

Pop star Ariana Grande is stepping back from the spotlight for an indefinite period, citing "endless, persistent public attention" surrounding her health and personal life. The singer announced her hiatus would begin after the conclusion of her 'Eternal Sunshine' tour on September 1.

She looks extremely thin

Grande, 33, recently released her eighth studio album, 'Petal,' which she described as stemming from "unfiltered rage." While reviews suggest this anger isn't always evident in the music itself, the album clearly addresses the intense public fascination with her private life, particularly on social media. Her relationships and health have been constant topics of discussion, prompting her decision to withdraw.

We may really have to worry.

This is not the first time Grande has faced scrutiny over her appearance and personal life. Even during her focus on acting, particularly while filming the 'Wicked' movies, her body was under intense public observation. Online speculation and concern videos from fans regarding her health were widespread. Grande previously urged the public to be more considerate, stating, "You don't know what someone else is going through, so be kind to each other."

Despite her plea, the public commentary on her appearance persisted, especially following the premiere of 'Wicked: For Good.' Grande sharply responded to theories about her weight, emphasizing the danger of casual judgment on others' looks. "What you wear, your face, everything about you: the casual commentary on that is downright dangerous for everyone," she stated. Her new music continues this theme, with fans often defending her by saying, "Leave her body alone, she doesn't live for your comments." Grande's decision to step away is a powerful reinforcement of this message.
