Should Ariana/her team be posting images like these ?

This is from her official instagram. I understand she is unwell but putting out these kind of images must be so damaging for young girls, especially ones already struggling with body image issues. This image is really concerning. Where are her family ?!

“Where are her family”

this always seems to indicate that if her family were in the slightest interested, she would be well. But that’s not the case is it? She could be getting support and help, but it’s not going to stop her being so underweight quickly, if ever.

whilst I am surprised that insta isn’t blocking this images as thinspiration, we can’t know who Ariana’s end is deciding to post these images and why. It could likely be her, or she is so powerful that people just do what she says. It is her image after all

I really hope she will get the privacy, care and help she obviously needs. It is so sad to see that photo.

YANBU. She has complained about how the scrutiny and people commenting on her body impacts her, but her team are releasing videos and imagery clearly intended to accentuate the fact that she is severely underweight. The people who are supposed to be looking after her clearly do not give a fuck about her wellbeing.

@TrunkElliot I’m sure most would think Ariana official site would be a safe place as her audience is mainly young teenagers? She obviously thinks looks beautiful in this image.

It’s all PR, that’s all they want, to be current. Why can’t she just step away quietly instead of announcing it? 🤔

Where are the families of the young girls accessing her images?

Well quite, it goes both ways but surely the team behind the clearly anorexic pop star need to take a little more blame than parents here ?

Not sure if it’s a new pic, may be an older one from earlier in the tour that’s circulating. Even so, old or new it is not good

Why is a photo being released if she is taking a break anyway. That picture belongs at the bottom of a drawer, afaiac.

I’m not a follower of celebrities but I heard that she’s taking a step back from public life. Releasing this photo seems to contradict her recent announcement. More attention seeking nonsense?
And yes she’s scarily thin and obviously needs psychological support.
