        I wasn’t, I don’t recognise faces very well and it’s not mentioned in the comments as far as I can see. Thank you.

        For some reason I thought she was already dead, I thought a crazy fan suicide bombed her or something.

    Once the body uses up fat reserves it starts using muscle. Indiscriminately.

    Including the heart.

    This is why so many people with eating disorders die from cardiovascular complications.

    We’re at the point in the documentary, shortly before the person’s death, where people are asking why no one did anything

    Is that even the same person tough? What about the tattoos on her left arm? I ask because I don’t know her.

    I’m been trying to figure out what she did to her face for the longest and I finally found out she had several different face lift operations. Brow lift being the one that made her eyes look dead inside. She definitely has some form of body dismorphia

      I mean that’s been obvious since the start. Since around when she was on nickelodeon she was on the eating disorder side of Tumblr. Having been famous for long unfortunately is only going to make that worse since beauty standards are so extremely fucked, especially for those in the public eye

    When we saw Wicked, I turned to my wife and said “someone needs to fix that girl a sandwich.”

    Seriously though, it’s sad to see. No healthy person is that skinny.

        I don’t get eating disorders (specifically the one where you want to look like a ghoul). Stuffing yourself makes sense to me, you wanna eat food and can’t stop I guess, but not eating??? Like you enjoy starving?

          It could be the pressure of ‘staying pretty’
          making them hate themselves for eating to the point of detriment. I understood that ozempic, the weight loss drug, is also widely used, which could be additional peer pressure.
          These people are constantly scrutinised under a microscope, it’s a lot to handle.

          Obviously all speculations, there could be other reasons.

      I’ve got sympathy for her going through anorexia, but that doesn’t really absolve her from being a generally kinda shitty person. She doesn’t deserve anorexia but she’s still just another rich asshole fuckin up the youth.

      Lemmy (and reddit and all of social media) tend to be pretty cruel to anyone who is famous whenever they slip.

        Being as rich as she is is already “slipping” to me. I’m sorry, but I don’t feel particularly bad for her.

    Ariana Grande is a shitty and classist person, and she’s dying.

    It’s baffling to see so many people, not even able to live paycheck to paycheck, foam at the mouth when it’s correctly pointed out she’s dangerously starving. Her dumbfuck cult of a fanbase are witnessing her commit suicide via ED, and scream at anyone pointing it out as “body shaming”.

    I mean, this is the same bitch who said she hates Americans because they’re fat (something that correlates to poverty). She also has used her body to sell countless products to young impressionable girls who will never be able to achieve her body size without also engaging in starvation.

    This isn’t just a return to the “heroine chic” EDs of the early 2000s, this is going far past that. This is the “3 minutes from dying” chic. This will have dire consequences on young people’s psyche for a whole generation.

    She’s an easily influenced influencer. Remember her licking doughnuts as a trend? She was with “friends” at the time.

    Similar to Will Smith, she’s a rich kid with a ton of insecurities and lots of bad acquaintances. She’ll keep making mistakes because that kind of negativity leads your thoughts astray easily and you need something grounded to keep you going. I’m not sure she has that something to hold on to.

        Guess Jaden could fit too, but I meant Will himself when he became rich from Prince of Bel Air. He did some silly things back then after gaining his independence (day) and almost lost it all.

    i feel pity for her of course. also, thanks lemmy o grant me (a 47yo dude, basically listening to either deadmau5 or Motörhead) a peek into today’s pop stars, so that I can have an awareness discussion on this body image thing with my 14yo pop culture sensitive daughter. i don’t think she’s got a body image problem, but good to nail it now.
