After confirming that she would temporarily withdraw from public activities after the end of the "Eternal Sunshine Tour" tour, Ariana Grande continues to attract attention when she has a move that is said to be a indirect response to the long-standing controversy surrounding her health status.
The female singer just "liked" a post on social media by psychologist Terri Cole with the message: "Not everyone likes your healthier version. That's okay. Just get healthier". Although Ariana Grande did not make any comments, this action quickly became a topic of discussion for fans, especially in the context that she just announced that she would take a break after months of continuously facing pressure from public opinion.
The message that psychologist Terri Cole shared focuses on setting personal boundaries and prioritizing mental health.
According to this expert, the process of changing in a positive direction sometimes makes some relationships tense, because not everyone is willing to accept a new version of a human being.
The article also encourages people to continue to develop themselves instead of trying to meet other people's expectations.
Ariana Grande's new move comes just days after the female artist's representative announced that she would not participate in the musical "Sunday in the Park With George" in London (UK) as previously planned. After the final night of the "Eternal Sunshine Tour" tour in early September in London, Ariana Grande will temporarily stop public activities to rest.
According to the representative of the "7 Rings" singer, this is a completely worthy rest time after a period of high-intensity work. At the same time, Ariana Grande continuously becoming the focus of comments about her appearance and health in recent times is also one of the reasons why she wants to temporarily leave the media's attention.
For many months, Ariana Grande's appearance has continuously become a topic of controversy on social networks. Every time she appears at an event, promotes a movie or performs on stage, the "Wicked" star faces a series of comments about her figure. Especially, after starting a tour in June and releasing the new song "Petal", discussions about her weight and health condition have become even more frequent.
This is not the first time Ariana Grande has had to speak out or take action against comments related to her appearance.
In recent years, the female singer has repeatedly called on the public to limit commenting on other people's bodies, and at the same time said that no one can fully understand what a person is going through just through their appearance.
In a recent performance in Chicago (USA), Ariana Grande also shared for the first time directly with the audience about her decision to rest. She said that the temporary suspension of activities had been considered for quite a long time, not a decision that arose from recent controversies.
The female singer emphasized that everyone needs to set boundaries to protect themselves and sometimes rest is necessary. Ariana Grande also affirmed that negative opinions from outside will not change the reality she is experiencing, because the most important thing for her is still the affection from fans and the joy of being on stage.
