Pop star Ariana Grande recently opened up about the persistent body shaming she's faced throughout her career. In an emotional interview alongside "Wicked" co-star Cynthia Erivo, Grande discussed the pressures of being in the public eye since her teenage years.

Grande recounted hearing constant criticism about her appearance, explaining how she's been subjected to scrutiny and pressure to conform to ever-changing beauty standards. She emphasized that this kind of commentary is hurtful regardless of the person's level of fame, citing even casual remarks from family members as examples of uncomfortable and unwelcome body shaming.

The singer expressed concern over the increasing tendency of people to comment on others' bodies and speculated about their personal lives, labeling this behavior as "dangerous." Recent online discussions about Grande's weight have drawn comparisons to Karen Carpenter, further highlighting the harmful nature of such public scrutiny.

Grande affirmed her self-worth, stating that she has a strong support system and knows she is beautiful. She shared her coping mechanisms, including limiting exposure to negativity and prioritizing her work, personal life, and relationships.

She offered advice to others facing similar situations, suggesting they protect themselves by distancing themselves from critical individuals or taking breaks from social media. Grande concluded with a powerful message of self-acceptance and a clear statement against unsolicited commentary on personal appearance.
