As a seasoned observer of pop culture and celebrity dynamics, I must say that Ariana Grande‘s life seems to be nothing short of a whirlwind lately. From her intense work schedule for “Wicked” to her personal life dramas, she has certainly had her fair share of ups and downs.

Despite concerns about her health due to noticeable weight loss, Ariana Grande persists in her demanding Wicked promotional tour alongside her partner, Ethan Slater.

On Wednesday evening in New York City, the singer, who is 31 and known for her delicate voice, went to a SAG-AFTRA Foundation screening of the movie.

Before the movie screening and question-and-answer session commenced, Grande – the actress portraying Glinda in the critically-acclaimed film version of the Broadway musical – struck poses for pictures in a cozy black, off-the-shoulder dress.

She wore a bulky black vegan suede coat that she let fall into the crook of her arms.

The artist known for “Bang Bang” had her beautiful golden-blonde hair pulled tightly into a neat bun, and she opted for her signature glamorous makeup style.

Regardless of concerns about her welfare, Ariana Grande seemed lively and enthusiastic as she talked about her part in ‘Wicked’ before a live crowd at the Robin Williams Center.

Grandé’s recent public appearance takes place following our exclusive report in DailyMail.com, where it was stated that Slater has expressed feelings of powerlessness and equal levels of concern similar to fans, due to the situation at hand.

The principal cast members, including Grande, Slater, and others, recently commenced a global promotional tour for the lavish movie musical that was released in theaters on November 22nd.

Some spectators have voiced concerns about the potential impact the project might have had on Ariana, as numerous individuals have shared worries about what appears to be a noticeable change in her weight or physical stature.

According to a reliable insider, it was unclear to them why there’s such intense focus on the movie when it seems more important to address Ariana’s apparent need for assistance. (DailyMail.com, Saturday exclusive)

The source added: ‘Ethan is concerned for her but feels helpless.’

Last month at the red carpet event in Los Angeles, fans were taken aback by Grandes noticeably delicate look.

Standing with her fellow actors Cynthia Erivo and Jonathan Bailey from the musical “Wicked,” the singer was visibly more svelte.

One user posted on social media, “I adore Ariana, and I firmly believe that everyone’s body is their own business. However, it’s impossible to gaze upon her without recognizing that she appears to be in excellent health.

Another wrote: ‘Ariana looks very fragile and not in a good way.’

A third added: ‘I know she has been slim all her life but seeing her now is worrying, she is so small.’

On topic X, there has been much discussion and speculation about Ariana Grande’s physical and mental well-being. As a fan of Ariana, all I can offer is my hopes for her wellness and joy.

Speaking plainly, one concerned fan expressed hope that Ariana Grande enjoys sound health and overall happiness, stating that everyone can be affected by the emotional strain of divorce and constant public scrutiny.

Another source mentioned that people feel apprehensive about addressing her weight concerns, as they are equally concerned about potential negative influences on younger admirers.

People pointed out that Ariana should reflect on the impact she’s having on younger girls and her followers, as this behavior isn’t appropriate.

“Many people seem worried about her, yet nobody speaks up due to fear, making it a silent concern. As for Cynthia’s recent weight loss, it appears that conversation on the topic has become taboo – an unspoken issue among us all.

It has been repeatedly mentioned by professionals that certain physical characteristics, such as a prominent chest bone (sternum) and thin, hollow cheeks in adulthood, could potentially indicate underlying health issues like malnutrition or lipodystrophy – a condition characterized by the absence of fat tissue.

Dr. Dennis Schimpf, a physician specializing in plastic surgery in South Carolina, has shared with DailyMail.com his concern that Ariana may develop a protein deficiency due to her vegan lifestyle. This deficiency could potentially lead to the deterioration of her muscles over time.

Former vegetarians sharing their thoughts online often recognize a mirror of their own journey in Ariana’s appearance. They describe it as resembling the final stages of a vegetarian lifestyle, or in simpler terms, they observe a likeness to what long-term vegetarianism might look like.

Ariana made a change to her eating habits around 2013, adopting a vegan lifestyle that she’s maintained for over a decade. This decision came from her deep affection for various creatures such as dogs, goats, and even seahorses.

On Reddit, a user proposed an idea that Ariana’s new makeup style could be the cause behind her noticeably different look.

The user notes that since she stopped using tanner for Glinda, her natural, un-tanned skin appears strange and unusual compared to how we’ve become accustomed to seeing her with bronzer makeup.

Other users speculate that the actress might have been excessively tired from the grueling process of filming and promoting the movie, which could account for her frequent tears. This hypothesis also fits with the idea that the production was particularly demanding on both the actress and her co-star.

Another added: ‘I’m going to go with crazed marketing schedule not helping. Jet lag and constant travel and promotional work is hard. Cynthia also has lost a lot of weight and neither of them had any excess weight to start with. They both look so exhausted.’

During an interview with The New York Times, Ariana and Cynthia suggested that they faced demanding work schedules on set, and unfortunately, both of them caught Covid-19 while filming.

Ariana mentioned that we each fell ill just one time, and interestingly enough, those instances happened prior to some pivotal scenes in the entire film. Specifically, my illness occurred a week before the popular sequence.

‘I came to set with a mask on my final days of recovery to learn the hallway finale.’

Last summer, when the actor’s strike brought all productions to a standstill, Cynthia expressed her gratitude because they had been putting in tremendous effort. In simpler terms, she felt thankful since they had worked extremely hard.

Initially, it seemed disruptive, but later, it turned out to be a much-needed respite, she explained, expressing her deep gratitude after working tirelessly.

Over the past year, I’ve been absolutely ecstatic watching Ariana gracefully shut down body shamers who tried to criticize her appearance. She boldly declared that she’s never felt better or healthier, standing tall in the face of photos comparing her weight throughout the years that went viral. Simply amazing!

In a TikTok video lasting about three minutes, she advised that folks should try to be more mindful and less casual when commenting on others’ physical attributes or appearances.

In my viewpoint, when I believe I’m expressing something positive or with good intentions, regardless of whether it’s related to health, size, nature, or aesthetics, I strive to minimize such expressions more often.

The Yes And? artist additionally asserted that the version of herself being compared to was the least healthy, physically speaking, of all her bodies.

She pointed out that beauty can come in various forms, and there are numerous paths to achieving a healthy and attractive appearance.

For my part, the physical form you’ve been contrasting with mine is actually the least healthy state my body has ever been in.

She shared that she was taking numerous antidepressant medications, consuming alcohol while doing so, and eating unhealthily. At this time, she was struggling the most in life, which is how her fans perceived her as being in good health.

She mentioned, ‘Although it’s unnecessary to clarify this, I still sense a need for transparency and openness, hoping something beneficial may arise from it.’ In other words, being healthy doesn’t always mean the same thing for everyone.

Ariana’s romantic involvement with Ethan has come under significant examination since they crossed paths on the UK stage of Wicked in December 2022, where she portrayed Glinda – the benevolent witch, and he played the role of munchkin Boq.

In September 2023, Ariana had already been married to Dalton Gomez, but she initiated divorce proceedings. The date she cited as their separation was February 20, 2023.

Three days prior, the singer revealed her split from Dalton, swiftly followed by the announcement of her new romance with Ethan, leading to an immediate surge of news articles.

Ethan was married to his high school sweetheart, Lilly Jay, when he started filming.

In 2022, the actor had his first child with Jay. Five years after their wedding in 2018, he filed for divorce in July 2023.

He cited irreconcilable differences and asked for joint custody of their son. The pair eventually finalized their divorce in September.

News of their romance caused uproar among Ariana’s followers and the pair kept their relationship largely out of the spotlight until recently while on the promotional tour for Wicked.
