Ariana Grande has long been admired for her talent and charm, but recent public appearances have raised concerns about her health. At the BAFTA Film Awards, fans were quick to comment on her noticeable weight loss, calling her “scarily skinny” and speculating about a possible eating disorder.

Comments online ranged from concern to alarm, with many urging her to seek help. Behavioral expert Dr. Patrick Wanis attributes the intense scrutiny to parasocial relationships—fans’ emotional attachments to celebrities—and unrealistic expectations of eternal youth.

Grande, who rose to fame on Victorious, is seen by many through a nostalgic lens, making any physical change more striking. The pressures on women in Hollywood to remain thin yet “not too thin” further complicate public perception.

Though Ariana hasn’t addressed the speculation, fans continue to voice their support, emphasizing her wellbeing above all. They hope she prioritizes her health amid the industry’s relentless expectations.
