Ariana Grande finally addresses ‘concerns’ about her appearance

Ariana Grande got candid on TikTok regarding fan "concerns" about her body, noting that she wanted to talk about "what it means to be a person with a body and to be seen and to be paid such close attention to." "I know personally for me, the body that you've been comparing my current body to was the unhealthiest version of my body," Grande said of images from previous years. "I was on a lot of antidepressants and eating poorly and at the lowest point of my life when I looked the way you consider my 'healthy.' But that in fact wasn't my 'healthy.'" Previously, Ariana has been open about battling anxiety, depression and the post-traumatic stress disorder she suffered after the 2017 Manchester bombing attack. Though the singer said she "shouldn't have to explain" her body, she hopes "something good" will come out of her "vulnerability," noting that "healthy can look different" for everyone. As she continues filming Wicked, she asked fans to be "gentler and less comfortable commenting on people's bodies."
