How is Ariana Grande allowed to keep going?

[fartotheleftside]

She looks like she’s at death’s door with anorexia and yet she’s just kicked off a world tour.

I thought we were living in more enlightened times now and that celebrities’ ill health wouldn’t be enabled like this. If she went to any hospital she’d get admitted for malnutrition.

her body isn’t due to a gastric sleeve though.

I agree, she didn’t clap back. She tried to guilt trip people who expressed shock at her emaciated appearance by saying it was related to grief, having lost her father more than 6 months previously.

grieving and having anorexia can co exist without being the cause. And even if her anorexia was caused by grief, that doesn’t impact her ability to get support

You can’t compare Taylor and Ariana. If Ariana had Taylor’s look she would be obese. Ariana has always been very petite. It’s an unhelpful comparison.

That said she is gravely ill. She has gone through unthinkable things. She is strong and I hope she gets through this.

I don't want to discuss people who are overweight, I am pointing out the double standards and not being ok with online trolling bullying someone because they don't agree on the way she looks.

She’s a really bad role model for young girls.
so we can say that, but we can't say someone overweight is a really bad role model?

@Namechangefordaughterevasion I never understand the argument that everyone was skinny in the past. Looking at documentary’s, photos etc they clearly weren’t.

I agree. Many women were slim/not fat 50 to 90-ish years ago (not like now where half of the population seems to be chubby!) but they weren't thin. They were just reasonably healthy weights. Look at THESE gorgeous women from the 1950s. Slim to curvy but not 'thin.' No-one looked like Ariana or Kelly back then. (Well, very few!)

Being overweight isn’t a very bad role model though.

Neither am I, but she looks very unwell.

I don't think pointing out that a public figure is clearly suffering from an eating disorder is " online trolling bullying someone."

Would you prefer people ignore the evidence before their eyes?

Your other point is whataboutery.

You can’t compare Taylor and Ariana. If Ariana had Taylor’s look she would be obese. Ariana has always been very petite. It’s an unhelpful comparison

Taylor is very likely at the bottom end of a healthy BMI or even underweight. How could that make Ariana look obese?!

She does doesn't she? Poor lass.

It all depends on if she is deemed to have capacity.
If not decisions can be made on her behalf.
She does look really unwell, poor woman.

You think this thread is ‘online trolling bullying’?

This. ^ The whataboutery is very annoying.

Exactly.

She has anorexia. She’s nowhere near lacking capacity

Are there any celebs 'at deaths door with obesity' you think we need to discuss?

Taylor is nearly 6 foot. Ariana is 5ft! She’s absolutely tiny.

It’s just an insane comparison.

Isn’t it obvious the poster meant relative to their height?

not that Ariana should simply adopt Taylor’s weight.

Many think it is though particularly on here.

Maybe they’re just thick?

I think she means why, not how.

why do you think we need to discuss Ariana Grande?

Isn't it ridiculous that this has to be explained?

Who's the 'we'?

Is someone forcing you to contribute to this discussion?
