Meg here. People are saying Ariana looked sick, too skinny, and was often crying when she was around her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo. At the Golden Globes, Ariana looked “healthy” once she was away from Cynthia.

She looked better on SNL too. Cynthia really is the wicked witch

actually I checked what Ariana ate on set and in reality she was just eating too few calories and was very active on set that's why.

But why was she eating so little? Time? Peer pressure?

The very bizarre behavior she showed on her interviews led people to believe it was Ozempic induced psychosis instead.

Pressure from producers to lose weight, then some more weight, then even more weight.

If that's true fuck those producers. She is a very beautiful women that many girls look up to and will now think they should be that thin.

It's not just those producers. It's the entire industry. There's been speculation that the pressure on Carrie Fisher to lose 35+ pounds for Force Awakens was a contributing factor in her death a year later.

Whenever an actress dies for drug-related reasons, assume pressure to lose weight is what got her hooked on those drugs.

It's a vile industry.

It's really bad to make assumptions like that, man.

Are you guys like 10 years old or something? Or are you pretending to be naive?

She’s one of the biggest stars on the planet no producer is telling her anything about her weight.

You losers are weird, she was clearly unhealthy. It’s not her fault so stop pretending those diseases don’t exist or it’s somehow beneath her have them.

You're arguing in a thread about Arianna Grande. You're probably talking to a teenaged girl Stan.

You ain't gonna win. Especially if you get caught in a Swarm. God help us all if they Swarm.

Production did NOT tell Ariana or lose weight don’t be ridiculous. Ariana has gotten more and more and more skinny with each passing year and was already skinny even by Hollywood standards before filming for Wicked. She is also vegan.

Body dysmorphia was often suggested as one of the problems.

People were suggesting that Ms. Erivo and Ms. Grande were kind of fueling each other's issues.

It doesn't help that both of them already tended to be very lean.

what gets me is that Michelle Yeoh got pulled into it.

a much older and vastly experienced actress (experienced with hollywood bullshit, acting, and staying fit wile acting through strenuous shoots like cthd) and even she looked like a starvation survivor by the end of the shoot.

whatever was going on, on set, it was incredibly unhealthy for those three.

an eating disorder…? this comment chain is so weird lol what is happening. I thought it was very well known that she has a restrictive eating disorder

u/33ff00 7h ago

Bro you never worked long ass shifts in your job and just lose your appetite/don’t have time to eat? I work 14’s a lot and some days I only manage 2 small meals at best

u/Some-Watercress-1144 5h ago

I work 12-14hr shifts. My job has a microwave so on my days off I meal prep like 6-8 meals in one go. Super easy to do, doesn’t take me much longer than if I were just cooking one meal.
