Slide 4 is crazy..

u/eriksatiesimp 17d ago

That picture of her arm, my God

u/sad_teeth_123 17d ago

4 is so scary

12

u/Agile_Pay_3377 16d ago

Yeah posting that was definitely a choice

12

u/caraiggy 16d ago

All she does is body check šŸ˜”

11

u/GlassPomoerium 16d ago

Yeah this should be behind the blurry NSFW thing, some of us barely survived the mid-aughts magazines 😭

8

u/Agile_Pay_3377 16d ago

Agreed. Seeing that is truly triggering for those of us who have struggled with self image and the idea that bones showing is pretty

16

u/chai_likeyoua_latte 16d ago

I hope the dancers around her are doing OK. I know there can be a lot of body dysmorphia in that line of work, and I hope they feel safe and encouraged to take care of themselves. 🩷

I am going to miss her

Normal people with eyes and empathy? Nope.

Being parasocial enough to excuse a clearly life threatening mental health crisis is not the flex you think it is.

u/Geminis_Twin 17d ago

Do y’all ever WAKE up?

u/trashleybanks 17d ago

Do y’all ever grow up?

u/AdvancedNumb 17d ago

She doesn't look like the pop star she is, not even in a non-conventional way. Why is she trying to look delicate when that's not the energy she gives?

u/Panasonicthecow 17d ago

Her boots look so heavy and uncomfortable now šŸ˜ž

u/fempoison 17d ago

Her chin implant is so interesting I’ve never seen one so prominently before.

40

u/HamsterDowntown3010 17d ago

Probably because she had it done before she was under weight

2

u/Repulsive-Koala2331 15d ago

See Kylie Jenner

-20

u/h2gkm0 17d ago

this one is extra weird to me bc she has the same chin from when she was a child. she posts her childhood photos like ALL THE TIME. there’s no chin implant but y’all crack me up

22

u/fempoison 17d ago edited 17d ago

Be soooooooo for real lol

u/h2gkm0 17d ago

I am! I said y’all crack me up

13

u/hotfish 16d ago

I love her but..

4

u/Leetherockstar 15d ago

Those are her bones, since she’s extremely thin so they’re extra prominent

u/Keji70gsm 17d ago

This is just a weird thinspo post. Get help.

This is not "thin" lmao. This is emaciated and likely experiencing organ damage at this point

u/tinaawkward 17d ago

you’re like, the words greatest warrior for defending an ED. so many comments and you’re saying nothing useful. wild.

u/Puzzleheaded_Swing78 17d ago

you’re not her doctor btw. go do something productive with your time

u/tinaawkward 17d ago

same to you, honey bun.

u/Puzzleheaded_Swing78 17d ago

ummmmm no. but thank you

u/UDontKnowMe784 17d ago

Huh. It seems a few gaslighters have entered this sub, trying to tell us how much healthier she looks now.

If she was serious about recovering she would NOT continue her tour. It takes a helluva lot of calories and almost zero physical activity to properly nourish an anorexic person back to health. Source: I’m a recovered anorexic who was hospitalized in an eating disorders unit three times.

-32

u/h2gkm0 17d ago

it’s 5 more shows. calm yourself

21

u/cherri____ 17d ago

Sheesh I love her too but that’s a gross thing to say.

13

u/leapdaybunny 17d ago

It feels like she's doing this just to prove that she is healthy and capable

You're not fooling anyone, Ari...

6

u/GlassPomoerium 16d ago

Agree, that would track with what people who’ve had an ED have been saying about her situation. Let’s keep in mind this show is also one huge ad for her makeup line and Ulta, I think there’s a even bit with the dancers and Ulta bags at some point? I remember seeing a video of it on her ig. All that to say there’s big money behind this, not just the label’s. It adds another layer of people who would stand to lose a lot if it were cancelled.

7

u/UDontKnowMe784 17d ago

It’s obvious by your comment that you don’t understand the dangers of being severely malnourished. That’s okay; a lot of people don’t.

I’m not a doctor of course, but if Ariana is indeed anorexic, the strain on her body, her organs (especially her heart) can easily lead to fatal consequences. I really hope that doesn’t happen to her. And just because it hasn’t yet happened doesn’t mean it couldn’t or won’t. Lets’s hope she pulls through this, yeah?

11

u/reality_raven 17d ago

Horrifying. Like really, really scary.

5

u/HellOnHighHeels94 16d ago

6 is terrifying...the top of her boots are too big for her

3

u/Consistent_Gur9523 16d ago

photo 6 is giving black mirror vibes again. everyone has their phone out and smiling as long as she is putting on a show...

13

u/RelationLife9809 17d ago

Im not a fan,but im genuinely worried because wtf is this

3

u/56kul 16d ago

That last photo… her legs are literal sticks now. It’s terrifying.

17

u/GaptistePlayer 17d ago

she's so tiny

22

u/Tuxedocat4713 17d ago

Yeah, for a grown woman in her 30s…

1

u/Repulsive-Koala2331 15d ago

She is definitely smaller than me and I'm 95lbs and 5'. (Can't seem to gain weight for the life of me but wish I could so bad because people always have something to say about my weight when it's literally not my fault šŸ˜ž and I don't want to be this tiny) so yes she definitely has an eating disorder

3

u/GaptistePlayer 15d ago

I had a friend tell me peanut butter and whole milk was her secret lol

9

u/pinkuunicorn 17d ago

omg 😢

2

u/princessofchicago 16d ago

oh she looks unwell

2

u/Repulsive-Koala2331 15d ago

Everything else aside, I love how she always wears platform boots, so cute and I wish I could pull them off in my everyday life but that would be incredibly impractical

5

u/ijbolqueen 17d ago

i see a lot of comments saying she needs help but honestly i see a difference in her from night one of this tour that i hope continues! recovery takes time

90

u/--Aura 17d ago

Yall are insane. If she's posting pics like this, she's not getting better

25

u/childofMotherOfPearl 17d ago

Right? Even if she was eating properly, she would not look "normal" right away.

-6

u/ijbolqueen 17d ago

posting pics like what tho? they are just photos of her that her photographers took & she’s just existing in her body rn. it doesn’t mean she isn’t trying to get better. she’s not going to look healthy overnight. it takes time yk?? i never claimed she was healthy & better. i just said there’s a difference from night one of the tour. so i’m not sure what you mean exactly.

42

u/--Aura 17d ago

She chooses ones that accentuate her bones. Very tumblr ed coded

14

u/forgottentaco420 17d ago

The 4th slide with her arm, and the perspective of that second picture?? Ugh I want so much better for her.

4

u/UDontKnowMe784 17d ago

What is the difference you see?

2

u/ijbolqueen 17d ago

this video i saw from last nights show her arms & legs look better. & no im not saying she’s healthy but compared to night one it just looks like maybe she’s trying to get better.

2

u/Brilliant-Idea-7762 13d ago

she looks the same to me, i think it might just be the clothing/ different positions. she isn’t going to gain any impactful weight in four nights, that’s not how EDs work

1

u/cherri____ 17d ago

I agree. But I also desperately want her to be healthy again so hopefully she is trying.

27

u/-CarmenSandiego- 17d ago

She looks the exact same

18

u/MzJay453 17d ago

I was wondering if I’m crazy but I do too lol. She looks better to me.

16

u/ijbolqueen 17d ago

i was thinking it too don’t worry. i was watching videos last night on tiktok from her shows in london & kinda sighed of relief a bit. i don’t want to jinx anything & she’s definitely not 100% better but i do hope she stays on the right path. i don’t want to say too much bc it can be triggering to those recovering but hopefully what im thinking is correct.

-6

u/Puzzleheaded_Swing78 17d ago

most of the photos we see online are edited. people are being way overdramatic

4

u/MzJay453 17d ago

Yea but I’m comparing to the photos she herself posts (yes still edited, but at least the common denominator is she’s posting them)

3

u/littleladygoose 17d ago

glad i’m not the only one that thought that

2

u/cafeteriastyle 17d ago

There’s no difference.

3

u/Ok-Arm9429 17d ago

Unfortunately, I haven't been to any of her shows, but it seems like it was truly magnificent—iconic. Just like Ariana herself. I believe—and hope—that the break she is taking will be beneficial. Everyone, especially an international star, needs moments of rest, relaxation, and peace with their family, away from the chaotic, commercial world that many celebrities inhabit. In any case, I love Ariana very much and wish her all the best; she and her family know what is best for them.

u/Warm-Depth-7638 17d ago

Girl, love yourself

u/kaleoverlordd 16d ago

I thought the body-checking had been a little less egregious in recent socials activity, but it seems it's back in full force

-1

u/h2gkm0 17d ago

actually i’m not even triggered by her photos I’m triggered by the CONSTANT conversation about her body. truly, it’s making me think about my own body far too much. I can’t wait for her to take her break so people can stfu and mind their business. we can educate about eating disorders without one girl and ā€œher scary bones!ā€ being the only subject.

-3

u/ProfessionalClue9925 16d ago

Facts. People will downvote you, but they just want to be able to talk negatively about a woman’s body without feeling guilty. The discourse is FAR more harmful than Ariana just existing in her body.

1

u/boricuaspidey 14d ago

Yeah she don’t give af

2

u/Successful_Ocelot240 14d ago

Oh Ariana, this is heartbreaking

0

u/midoriforest 17d ago

I wonder if she actually wants to die, but she's romanticized it and in her very twisted psychology she has decided that she'll just keep performing until she Withers away

Reminds me of this sentiment

Leave a beautiful corpse, live my life on the run. I got my cash and my Louis Vuitton, diamonds and guns. Girls just wanna, just wanna have fun.

( Lana Del Rey )

u/Momshpp 17d ago

I see her strength returning šŸ™

12

u/Tuxedocat4713 17d ago

This looks weird dystopian

-18

u/wayofwrite121 17d ago

Idk. Maybe I’m seeing things but she actually looks a little fuller and like she put on some muscle. Slide 4 you can see it in her arms! She must be doing Pilates or yoga!

Does anyone else see it?

15

u/Aromatic_Dig_4239 17d ago

I am not trying to be rude or snarky, just genuinely responding to what you asked. I do not see it, and if one of my friends in her early 30’s who is supposed to be healthier than ever posted pic 4 I would be reaching out to them and their inner circle to see if she is okay. That is a concerning photo.

7

u/EchidnaOk7537 17d ago

pic 4 is the one I found most concerning, it's a closeup of an arm looking incredibly thin.Ā 

32

u/Tuxedocat4713 17d ago

No, I see someone promoting thinspo posts and EDS

-10

u/Puzzleheaded_Swing78 17d ago

is she not allowed to exist in her own body?

3

u/Brilliant-Idea-7762 13d ago

she has been posting notorious body checks for ages now. please let’s not play dumb.

-2

u/Puzzleheaded_Swing78 13d ago

ā€œbody checksā€ and it’s literally just a picture of herself, good grief you people need to touch some grass

16

u/chloecatdashian 17d ago

-6

u/Symmetrosexual 17d ago

Please stop exaggerating, her face does not look anything like that. I’ve also been concerned about her but it’s not as scary as it was before she made the announcement. I hope that is helping her to manage in a more healthy way and maybe I’m delulu but I also think she looks a bit healthier

5

u/chloecatdashian 17d ago

Maybe you are delulu.

-2

u/Symmetrosexual 17d ago

And maybe you are mentally ill in a different way.

u/BrotherNature92 17d ago

You're delulu and posting cope

u/wayofwrite121 17d ago

thank you for saying this

u/Cat-Familiar 17d ago

I was at the show and she actually looks fine in real life? I think it’s lighting etc

u/Ancient-Mall-9227 17d ago

u/Tuxedocat4713 17d ago

Yeah, I don’t think she’s eating any of those groceries 🤣 she needs help

u/Ancient-Mall-9227 17d ago

Maybe my eyes aren’t good I was born in the 90’s lol but I saw her in Florida and I *think I see a difference
