To think there's something really off about this woman?

🙄🙄

They are as irrelevant to me as I am to them 😀

Really got your finger on the pulse 😂

Ariana has been a hugely successful world famous popstar in the years since the terror attack. It is only since Wicked that she has started behaving like a baby bird.

I am a fan of both of them and think they are both hugely talented people but their behaviour is undeniably weird. I don't see how that is offensive to you?

So fucking what? They both look ill and it is concerning, especially given they are in the middle of a massive press tour for a film that is being marketed at children. Quite why it is being marketed at children is another question for me, but hey ho

I just saw pics of Michelle Yeoh and that is scary. I don't know what went down on the set of Wicked, but it has had a terrible affect on all these women.

I agree. And mumsnetters are frequently competitively anorexic on weight loss threads, where 8 stone, size 8 posters chat about their pot belly and being tubby. As if.
It will all come out.
I remember having conversations about the spice girls in the 90’s, with friends who declared that they weren’t underweight and it was just all the dancing they did.
I said that they probably had eating disorders.
It was denied by my friend and by the spice girls.
And years later, at least 3 of the spice girls, Mel C, Geri and Victoria Beckham, have all spoken publicly about their eating disorders.

Motsi looks amazing, agreed. But that might be knowing when to stop rather than anything to do with how she lost the weight. I hope she doesn't lose any more.

I have never seen anyone look as beautiful on weight loss drugs as Motsi does. So, I suspect that her weight loss is natural - all that dancing! I think she gained weight before because she had a baby (?).

As for the others - the jury is out. I hate seeing women make themselves so scrawny and then they lie and say they are naturally thin (I'm looking at you, Victoria Beckham). Naturally thin women don't look the way that they do.

Does anyone watch Selling Sunset (awful I know but we all have our guilty pleasures). One of the women on that has gained quite a bit of weight (she reckons about 40lbs) and looks absolutely gorgeous. We need to see more stories like this so that young women know that curviness is OK.

Sorry for the stream of thought, but I was thinking the other day that bmi as a way of categorising health may one day be abolished and that there will be other markers of health apart from weight. Some on MN opine about the normalisation of overweight, but perhaps it SHOULD be normalised because it's normal.

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.

I’ve been wondering about WLI, Motsi and Tess. Less so Claudia as she is so petite already. Tess as a taller, stronger build is definitely startlingly lean- hard to achieve.

Motsi looks beautiful, and I imagine feels a lot better. As a bigger busted woman, some of her outfits used to look uncomfortable. Obviously I’m projecting my own discomfort as a bigger woman with feeling trussed up in some clothes!

I think they are - sadly. No judgement to people who are on them - just don’t think it’s healthy if you are already thin. It’s filtering down so much. Off topic but why I think it’s really good that Kelly Brook isn’t succumbing to the pressure to use them (on I’m a Celeb currently & will be seen in a bikini at some stage).

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

It’s all very performative with these two.

Ariana looks like she is suffering from anorexia. She is painfully thin.

Cynthia appeared on strictly this year. I don’t know if she is naturally slim or what. Motsi has lost weight and looks the picture of health. Tess and Claudia looked a lot thinner, almost scrawny. Is it a coincidence or are they all taking fat loss jabs?

Ariana lost an ex to drugs some time ago & got a lot of grief about having left him & blame (even though it wasn’t connected). Then Manchester & as a result openly struggles with PTSD, PA’s & cites OCD in her youth/past. Apart from how frail physically she looks & as a pp pointed out her eyebrows are dyed blonde so she looks other worldly. I watched a plastic surgeon analyse what surgeries she (& other stars, I know!) has had done & her permanently startled & almost frightened look w helped by the brow lift & upper bleph she’s had done that have completely changed the angle & position of her prior brows - not for the better. She doesn’t fill them in however so must like the look she has now but they I think add this unnatural expression along with chin filler making her look even more pointy & elfin like. I think it just all adds to the weirdness.

It’s showbiz baby ! Not much normality anywhere , but this does feel like one verrryyy long performance art project .

Read it every morning, I certainly don’t feel the need to apologise or hand wring about it! I read several news sources on my phone when I have my breakfast in the morning…all this stupid ‘Daily fail’ nonsense is so stupid…

Ariana Grande comes across in interviews as being much more grounded and bright than Cynthia Eviro, which is amazing considering her Nickelodeon past.

That, coupled with Grandes huge fame, might grate with Eviro, who is over compensating in her treatment of Grande.

Yeah, had to stop for a second there. Although I have never seen Hannah Montana, I thoroughly enjoy an episode or several of Victorious or Sam and Cat, thanks to my eldest.

They are both crackpots!

Lol. Sure "out of concern"

And i am perfectly calm, thanks for checking in

That might be because it was Miley Cyrus and not Ariana in Hannah Montana.

“This woman”, and she has a Tony, a Grammy and an Emmy, as well as a couple of Oscar nominations.

I do think she looks very thin, and Ariana looks extremely unhealthy.

I don't have a clue who she is - well obviously I now know from this thread she was in Wicked (one of the worst films I've had to endure with my DC).
I am aware of Ariana from Hannah Montana as my kid watched it daily a few years ago, although I couldn't tell you which character she played, and sadly from the Manchester bombings.

Hannah Montana, was smoking blunts of weed between scenes.

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