Ariana Grande assured fans that she’s “healthy” after they claimed she was “too thin” in recent photos.
The thank u next singer got candid in a three-minute TikTok video Wednesday, urging her followers to be more mindful before sharing their opinion on others’ appearances.
“The body that you’ve been comparing my current body to was the unhealthiest version of my body. I was on a lot of antidepressants and drinking on them and eating poorly,” she explained.
“[I was] at the lowest point of my life when I looked the way you consider my healthy, but that in fact wasn’t my healthy.”
The former Nickelodeon alum went on, “I know I shouldn’t have to explain that. But I do feel like maybe having an openness and some sort of vulnerability here, good might come from it.”
Fans began to comment on Grande’s appearance after photos emerged of her attending Jeff Goldblum’s jazz concert in London last week.
She and her Wicked co-star, Cynthia Erivo, looked glam as they stepped out in support of their pal, with Grande bundling up in an oversized pink coat.
“Ariana Grande looks worryingly thin,” one person tweeted in response to the images, while another chimed in, “Very controversial opinion but she’s seriously too thin … I’m worried for her.”
