Ariana Grande And The Body We’re NOT Allowed To Question…

I have a theory. It seems to be the case that she was so deeply unhappy for a very long time because of Manchester, Mac Miller’s passing and her marriage failing, that now when she at least feel happy she’s unable to handle the fact that a new very difficult issue has presented itself. It obviously also doesn’t help that ed’s are notoriously difficult to acknowledge for the person who suffers

Following the same pattern as before, when people started calling her out for race-baiting and it became more publicly known that she is, in fact, white (I know I'm not the only one who thought she was Latino until semi recently). So she was like "okay, I guess I'm going to be the whitest white girl complete with a crippling ED and fake Atlantian accent".

I didn’t realise how much this would impact teenagers until a girl from my maths class literally said she wanted to use ozempic to look like Ariana…

to me, you're 10% concern & 90% hating on her LIFE.

She doesnt even have energy to dance.

HUMAN! What a wonderful word for this video. Marina, I think that you're an incredibly beautiful girl and that you're a wonderful role model both physically and mentally for every young girl that comes across your channel. I have to admit that I am not your target demographic. I am a woman in my forties who loves film as much as you do because I have a degree in it, and I've also been singing my whole life. I had the opportunity to sing classical music at Carnegie Hall when I was only 19 so I understand the discipline of that which might be a little like the discipline for ballet. Obviously not the same, I'm just trying to make the point that I get it.

I grew up morbidly obese. And since I grew up in the late 80s/90s, I got to see all of these very skinny women and all I wanted to be was like them. In my case it wasn't so much that I wanted to be so beautiful like they were and stand out. I wanted to be thinner so that I could at least blend in and not feel so ashamed and disgusted at my own body. When I was a little bit younger than you, I had gastric bypass surgery and I lost over 100 lbs. I was at a healthy weight the second half of college and I got to experience what it was like to all of the sudden (because it was quick!) be looked at as pretty and coveted. Please do not misunderstand me, I'm not trying to sound vain and say that I was the hottest thing around. Of course I wasn't. But my film major was mostly populated by guys which helped me stand out a little more. The reason for my obesity was a problem that a lot of women struggle with which is PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and I can tell you that hating yourself because you don't look like the people on your screen or in the magazines can become obsessive, and in my case since I had a medical condition that all but kept me stuck there, it was beyond devastating. {EDIT: It DOESN'T MATTER I had a medical reason for being fat. I was also eating a ton. So for anyone reading this, this is for you, no matter how you got to your size.} I felt I wasn't worth anything unless I looked like the girls in the media, the skinnier the better. It was a hell of a journey and for quite a long time, I was in a prison of my own making. And these kinds of images and messages in the media kept me there.

I cannot imagine being that age right now in the current landscape of social media. Which is why people like you are so important to talk to girls your age and younger….and older. Believe me even girls that are older than you are secretly wishing they could be super skinny too. Grown women who should know better are buying into this narrative that they are not enough. To all of you reading this, you are absolutely enough and you are worthy of everything that is wonderful in this world. The secret that is being actively kept from you is that behind the cameras, these perfect skinny girls are not even close to being perfect and most are miserable. It is mostly an illusion and an act. This is what I went to school for so I know what I'm talking about. It takes a small village to make one malnourished, anxiety ridden, stress crushed, lonely and sad girl look Instagram ready. You don't have to aspire to that because it literally does not exist. It's like aspiring to save enough money to buy a unicorn. Not possible. Do this instead. Aspire to getting healthy and feeling strong. I promise you that if you focus on that, your mental health will soar and that inner beauty that I KNOW you have in abundance will shine on its own and double when it meets the outer beauty you don't think you have.

It is not easy to see that right now. You may be thinking "this does not apply to me". Every single person is different so why should one answer fit everyone right? I thought exactly the same thing. But check this out: in one way or another, we will all experience at least one exact same emotion. We share that. There are no strangers in the human race. Let that sink in for a second. The fact that there are no original thoughts and no original emotions is not something that should make you despair, it's something that should make you feel free because it means there's a world out there full of people of all shapes and sizes that feel the same way you do. You will find each other and elevate each other. I promise you, you are not alone. Even if in this very minute you don't have a single person to call or text or contact somehow. This minute will pass and you will not have to go through this life alone.

I can't wait for the day that you see a picture of yourself that you thought was going to be awful and find yourself a little bashfully looking around to see if anyone's noticing the fact that you are smiling because you look pretty good, don't you? Yeah you do. You'll look good in most pictures as long as you let your soul shine through. You'd be surprised how powerful a camera lens is and what it can pick up. My current favorite picture of myself is my driver's license picture. Can you believe that? I look pretty damn good in it even though I have gained some weight. And you know why I look good? Because that day I was happy. The guy behind me in line was funny and we had a nice chat (nothing romantic, he could have been my dad, lol) and he helped put me in a good mood. So the camera picked that up and I got a picture that I could even actually use as a headshot!

If you're reading this, the bad news is that it's going to take a long time for you to look good in pictures, but the good news is that the only reason why is because you don't realize that you already do. So close your eyes for a minute, take a deep breath, allow the wonderfulness of your existence (because you have earned your place on this planet) to rule how you look at yourself, and take a look at that picture again. You are fire!

Thank you Marina for all of your videos. They are so entertaining and so informative because boy I've learned a lot. But they're also so compassionate and honest. And you might be hesitant to accept the compliment, but since you are physically beautiful, you have that little advantage that makes people lean in closer to hear what you have to say. And you're using that advantage for good. What you say is awesome so keep on doing it, and we'll keep on watching. Congrats on your channel's growth. Can't wait to see where you are in a year!

17:55 bro I so agree. ppl are only going after that dude which is absolutely valid but both of them should equally be at fault. It doesn’t help with the fact that she was claimed to take other ppls man numerous times.

❤ human.

The fact that it changes its image doesn't make it bad, because it's an industry, and to be media and popular, you need to be relevant, there's nothing wrong with that!
I believe that they did not have a romantic relationship with Ethan, since there is no evidence of this (not even a kiss, etc.) – I think it was a PR move by the W team.
But what has to do with her weight and the general tendency of women in the industry towards anorexia scares me, and I don't consider it normal or something that can be accepted!
To say the least, it's strange to poke your nose into her personal life and call her a promiscuous woman who picks up men, even though entering into a relationship or crossing the friendship line is a choice for both, not just her. But for some reason, many people forget about this, making her to blame for the breakup of couples, LOL.

It's not about being "slim" but about control.

It's better to say to a malnourished person:
"I'm worried about you because I feel like you don't have as much energy lately."
"I've noticed you seem very tired lately. I wanted to ask how you're feeling."
"You're important to me, and I'm a little worried about your health. Is everything okay?"
"I feel like your daily life has been a struggle lately. Do you want to talk about it?"
"I don't know if I'm understanding this correctly, but you don't seem to be feeling your best. I'm worried about you."

Worst:
"You're too thin."
"You need to eat more."
"You look terrible."
"It's obvious you have a problem."

I wonder if she has a personality disorder? 🤔

Ariana is just a insecure girl who feels that her real self won't make her popular or make her stand out in any way so she finds comfort being in these different personalities and image and when she runs to these different characters she feels safe and confident.

Why would a grown woman want to be weak and frail, it really pisses me off

Everyone definitely isn’t pretending it’s normal
