Ariana Grande’s Narcissistic Collapse (a deep dive)

    Are we living through Ariana Grande’s downfall?

    In this deep dive, I analyze Ariana’s new song “Hate That I Made You Love Me,” revisit the Ethan Slater cheating scandal, explore how her divorce from Dalton Gomez may have affected her more deeply than people realized, and discuss why her reconnecting with Ricky Alvarez caught everyone off guard.

    I also take a psychological look at the concept of a narcissistic collapse and examine whether some of Ariana’s recent public behavior shares similarities with that pattern. This is not a diagnosis, but an analysis of recurring themes, public behavior, and the narratives presented throughout this era.

    From parasocial relationships and accountability to celebrity image and identity, this may be Ariana Grande’s most revealing era yet.

      What do you guys think is going on with Ariana Grande?

    2. i do think she met her match w dalton. i've seen nobody talking about how he was winning the dgaf war after they split lol.

    3. She's awful, none of her traumas excuse her monstrous, selfish behavior, and I hope she stays miserable until the day she finally hits rock bottom and takes accountability.

    4. I find it really interesting how the rest of the cast of Wicked are looking so much healthier and acting saner since they stopped being around her all the time. I don’t think it was just the movie, either, because ppl seem to go downhill in her presence. Like they stop caring for their own wellbeing and only want to dote on her because she’s just a widdle baby. She’s unbelievably talented and I really like HTIMYLM…but if you told me you had proof of her being a psychic vampire, I’d believe you

    5. I can't hate this girl at all. No relationships will be wrecked if the guy is steadfast in their love for his partner. She simply reveals men for who they are. If it wasn't her, it was going to be some other girl whom Ethan Slater thinks he has a chance with. Ethan Slater should even thank her for making him realise what a fool he has been.

      As for Mac Miller, i felt for her a lot as she was right. It's difficult to be with a drug addict. She was also so young then. Why should she devote herself to such men who could not even take care of themselves?

      I see her quickly latching onto Pete as a way to really end the relationship w Mac Miller. You know some guys won't give up on you as long as you are single. She took it a step further by getting married.

      However, it turned out to be a mistake and she then met Dalton whom she got married to but unfortunately, she was ditched and i guess it hurt her so much that she just took any man around her who was probably nice to her. I believe she didn't even try to seduce anyone. Ethan Slater just tried his luck at her most vulnerable state.

      So, for her, it is just a series of unfortunate men and events. Hope she would find a decent guy soon so that she could get back on track in having a life that isnt so crazy.

    6. she needs to be pulled out of Hollywood, get so much therapy, healing her body and mind, while being single and away from people who know her right now

    7. She definitely has a history of avoidance & drowning her problems in a new man, whether that means cheating, homewrecking, or just being messy. We don't know what the main problem was in many of her relationships, besides work keeping her busy, especially her marriage & divorce, but her tendency to be an anxious avoidant who instead of true presence & repair turns around & possible cheats/finds someone else, it's clear she is part of the problem in her own life.

      I think it rattled her to get divorced. In 'Thank You, Next' she talked about only wanting to get married once after watching her mom's struggle & that was part of the self-identity that collapsed. It didn't work out. We don't know why, I'm not going to say she cheated unless her ex comes out & talks about it, but considering her history of breaking up & finding someone else before the powder is dry, I'll bet her avoidance was part of the failure. Marriages sometimes fall apart through no fault just incompatibility & maybe that's when she went with Ethan, who claims he was planning to separate from his wife as well, but since their divorces weren't official when they got together everyone is judging them real hard. I get it. Leaving your postpartum wife/dating a man with a postpartum wife even if they are separating is…messy.

      Ariana through her marriage tried to separate from her old 'Black-iana' identity. When the marriage identity, healing her childhood trauma, didn't work, she became 'musical theater' Ariana with Ethan, which is consistent from her childhood, so that probably felt stabilizing in a way, like something she could fall back on.
      But then THAT didn't last, because you can't just put on new identities with new boyfriends & pretend like that's sane in any way. Especially when that relies upon the relationship to remain lasting & stable, which means it's about as stable as sand. Just like she went for Pete to fill the Mac Miller hole & then when he died, she couldn't maintain the illusion anymore. Like she went for Ricky to fill the Big Sean hole. It's just, she's trying to fill a void within her caused by her childhood, by a lack of coherent identity. She's been cycling through all of this while maintaining her innocence & purity as a fail-safe through it all. 'I'm just a girl' Audrey Hepburn is her idol.

      Time for some therapy & to be single. Idk if Ricky is good for her ultimately, but she needs help in the real sense.

    8. She is not a child. She gets away with getting everything she wants. Please Scandalous Media you need to put in songs like Just like Magic- She believes she is a witch a "good" witch who practices white magic, she thinks she can get anything she wants and never loose. Her sold out arenas make her believe "see no matter what I do I still sell out, I'm unstoppable" Someone like Ricky she believes "See after all of this I went through someone like him from my past still wants me, if I was that bad of a person surely I wouldn't have all these things attracted to me now would I?" That's how she thinks. The more she has the same people around her that "love" her no matter what she wont change. Unfortunately this isn't the good type of love its the enabling kind. I think Dalton tried to make her better and she refused and cheated to prove a point- like when he exes call her to be better and grow up she starts with the "I can have anyone, I Don't need anyone telling me what I can and cant do" all these relationships make her feel empty…. she validates herself by the things she attracts. Dalton could speak out if he didn't sign the no speak waiver at the divorce if he mentions her at all anywhere she will sue him, he didnt care not to sign it as he probably thinks being with her was the worst mistake of his life. I bet she sold him the "im so different that your average self centered pop star" oh only if he met Jeannette Mcurdy who did a skit on how self absorbed Ariana has always been. I mean at her 15 bday party she had THE Patty La-belle sing because her rich family rented her for an hour..her mom and dad give her everything she wants..rotten to the core.

    9. Always please look into her BEST FRIEND VICTORIA MONET HUSBAND SLEPT WITH ARIANA THE NIGHT BEFORE THEIR(VICTORIA AND HER HUSBANDS) WEDDING!

    10. I wanted to ask, how did ariana ended up marrying Dalton. Like what made her marry him instead of staying girlfriend like with previous men. What was so special about Dalton.

    11. Look into high masking high functioning autism in women!

      Grande has many quintessential symptoms & because these traits are so different to autism in males & ppl with neurological/cognitive difficulties the diagnosis is often overlooked.

      Mimicking – like adopting the personality/style, even lifestyle of others around them, eating disorders, "dating down"/unhealthy relationships, poor emotional regulation, immaturity, struggle with empathy, difficulties dealing with social situations & lashing out when stressed due to frustration, etc.

      Diagnosis & awareness of the condition have a miraculous effect on women with higher IQs – self stabilising & mindful correction are hugely successful to address negative behaviours.

    12. Ariana blew everything up herself. We all loved her so much, but she ruined everything. You do indeed owe public something with a parasocial relationship. Bcz ParaS. relations existed since Kings&Queens times its not something new that Ariana is whinning about. She is deliberately making her impersonaters her topic so that she can play victim and whitewash her actions she did being home wrecker.
      I also think she does some kinds dr*gs thats responsible for her body along with ED.
      Plz make a video about Dalton Gomez and Ariana as we have low info. About them

    13. Sorry, but i disagree with u . When u wreck a home, destroy the life of a baby then u have crossed a line . A big line, and now u ARE a Bad person. The ethan slater divorce cannot be undone and damage is beyond repair.

    14. I actually agree with Candace Owens take on Ariana. She has daddy issues, she enjoys being the other women, her father cheated on her mom, left them for the other woman. Its her own twisted version of revenge.

    15. Imagine her in a steady, predictable relationship for years. How would the songs be like?… The songs wouldn't be that interesting for the public. Who knows maybe she subconsciously wants the rollercoaster so that the songs are not boring. 🫣

    16. The tweet about Mac wasn't dismissive of him. People were loudly blaming her for abandoning Mac. She is absolutely right that she wasn't Mac's mother or caretaker or responsible for regulating his life for him. We have no idea what their relationship was like, but loving someone in active addiction is very difficult. Anyone in a situation like that has every right to step back and set boundaries. It is fair and healthy to insist that for a relationship to work, the addict must be sober. The situation is much more complicated than "she was snarky to Mac in a tweet." (Especially since she wasn't really talking about him).

      It's also fair to note that during Sweetner/Thank U, Next era, she was being forced to keep working by then-manager Scooter Braun. She hasn't really had time to process anything properly which means she'll probably keep working as a coping mechanism until she fully burns out. She is absolutely responsible for her actions but if she is surrounded by people who aren't helping her, she's going to struggle to really address aome of her issues.

    17. She is not okay, and her past and present are all giving her headaches. She probably feels helpless and out of control, hence her ultra skinny frame. I heard restricting diet could be a way to regain control for some people. I could be wrong though, what do you guys think?

    18. Great video, tho I thought you were going to dive into her current relationship with Ricky compared to the past. Her fans are happy because he looks better than Ethan and swear he’ll be her 'endgame,' as if they’re pretending not to know that this woman is always changing men. Plus, that relationship was toxic, and the timeline even overlaps if you do a deep dive during dw era. There are also blind items saying he's a drug addict and was supplying her with drugs, I don't think this will end well for her

    19. When “break up with your girlfriend” came out I mumbled around and my guy friend once heard it and asked me “why should I break up with her”. It was a joke and I was mindlessly singing. But if we see this from gf’s or bf’s pov, it’s so mess up. She is just a mean girl.

    20. I completely see the 'i can steal your man' side of Ari for sure, but i dont think she was still in a full blown relationship when she started things with Ethan. HE was, but i do truly believe that Her and Dalton were keeping up appearances and it was long over during their last few posts and outtings. Like divorce in the final processes kind of done.

      People forget that a period of separation usually comes before the divorce. Its not a quick process. So our timeline of the events surrounding her divorce (aside from the publically accessible dated doctuments surrounding the divorce itself) could be heavily skewed from the real timeline that happened.

    21. Someone said it best, people used to always call out Taylor Swift for all the men she's been through because she looks like a fully grown adult woman. They ignore or excuse Ariana's antics because she physically looks like a child. And she's playing into that. It's weird.

      She made sure that her ex husband can't speak out and defend himself from her rabid fans with the things she was implying about him. She's just not a good person.

      Why would you be party to ruining another woman's life like that? With a new baby might I add.
