Sorry for the Daily Fail link, but this is the third video I've seen over as many weeks with this woman acting oddly possessive over Arianna.

AIBU to think her behaviour is off?

Yes, thats right, you lot. The collective group of anonymous, genderless, raceless mumsnetters who have all unilaterally decided that I'm racist 🤣

Sure you did.

Just like you what you mean with 'victim mentality'.

You are very transparent.

Why do you repeatedly call the black woman 'this woman' but call the white woman 'Ariana'?

I'm not black and it's not victim mentality to call you out on your micro aggressions against a woman who has not done anything to anyone.

Watch this video and see how inclusive Cynthia is to people. Learn from her. Do better.

Goodness, not everything is racism. Honestly, you lot are as bad as the cafe owner who called me racist because I left feedback saying the plastic chairs were uncomfortable. Victim mentality at it's finest.

You called her 'this woman' and couldn't even be arsed to put her NAME!

And you know damn well she is a black woman.

We see you. 👀

Agree OP. That woman is freakish. I cannot bear her.

And as for Michelle Obama bleating about all the barriers she has faced. It’s incredibly tone deaf. It doesn’t surprise me she’s jumped on the injection bandwagon. She’s a disgrace to my race IMO.

Digital blackface is so laughable! 😂

And I did not start a thread about "something being off about this black woman" just a woman. Behaving weirdly, repeatedly. She just happens to be black.

I doubt that poster is even a woman let alone a black woman. My eyes rolled so hard they almost got stuck the wrong way round when I read it.

Agreed. Those are the posts this kind of thread generates. Awful to see.

TheKeatingFive · 21/11/2025 12:47

I get the intense bonding thing, in that they've been caught up in this massive movie franchise together, obviously get on and have probably been a source of support for each other throughout. They're performative with that, but I guess they're Hollywood types and are into that.

The fact that it has also corresponded notable weight loss for both of them (and Yeoh) is a massive red flag though.

Can you answer why these kinds of threads are always started about black women?

There was a similar nasty thread about Jodie Turner Smith. Another black woman who did absolutely nothing wrong but was roundly ridiculed.

www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/5426358-jodie-turner-smith-graham-norton?page=2&reply=147948158

Nope.

I don't really follow celebrity and I don't know who Jodie is so I did a quick Google. Not seen anything she's been in.

Was she acting weird like Cynthia?

Erivo. And yes, award-winning actress and vocal powerhouse Cynthia Erivo must be jealous of her co-star 🙄

Yes, I don’t sense jealousy. I pick up on the weirdness, though. From both of them. It must be so weird to experience what they are both experiencing - worldwide fame and adulation; a sudden increase in the bank balance. This must be especially true for Erivo who is a girl from London who now has this massive bank balance and accolade.

I think you don’t know what information they are aware of. deaths threats, stalkers just crazy people think if they are aware of these things in the background think that may alter they’re behaviour I know it would change mine. Think most people are commenting through the experience of normal lives but think their lives are very different who knows how you would behave in the same situation.

NewYearSameMe16 · 19/11/2025 12:28

One of the stupidest comments I’ve read on here and that’s saying a lot. If a woman who has degrees from Princeton and Harvard, was a beloved First Lady and a best-selling author is a ‘disgrace to your race’, you must have some deep seated self hatred going on.

I saw a video of Ariana on the red carpet saying she’d been to a clinic to have her memory erased….. 🤨

That was a joke. You clearly haven't seen the whole clip or understood the context

Chellybelle · 19/11/2025 19:43

Both creepy

Maybe read a book before commenting. She was a black woman born in the 60s, you don’t think she faced any challenges? Her dad worked at a water plant, her mother was a secretary and she was raised in a small apartment on the South Side of Chicago. She made it out, made it to Princeton and made it to the White House. Considering who we make famous in today’s society, the only thing we should be doing is celebrating a woman like this.

Thank you @NewYearSameMe16

Indeed. And if she continues to speak out against injustice then good for her.

SouthernFashionista · 19/11/2025 16:30

Exactly that. She has degrees from
the best schools and was the First Lady for god’s sake! And yet she still bleats about perceived injustices. It’s embarrassing. At least own your privilege.

Imagine bleating all this embarrassing nonsense on the Internet- even anonymously 😢. Bless your dear heart 🙏🏾💐.

Manchester really impacted on an already fragile Ariana Grande, she is very talented, I'm not a fan but her voice is amazing, unique.
She had bouts of depression, dealing with the stresses of a childhood actress before the tragedy in Manchester, who knows what she went through as a child star, the trauma of Manchester would never leave you.
Hannah Montana, was smoking blunts of weed between scenes.
I hope she gets a lot of rest and tlc to recover.

i always think about the Machester Arena bombings whenever I read or see anything about Ariana Grande, the trauma must have been immense and always be lurking somewhere below the surface. When that fool rushed at her the other day she must have been so scared because she knows that the very worst can happen in a matter of seconds

Hannah Montana is a fictional character. I wonder what Bagpuss got up to between scenes! 🤯

Miley Ray Cyrus was heavily addicted to weed as a teenage actress, starring as... drum roll 🥁🥁🥁🥁 Hannah Montana.
Smoking blunts on set.

#MyApologies... I didn't realise that post was hard to understand. 😕
