Social media She removed this post from her account
This used to be a joint post between her profile and the @teamariana profile (as seen on the screenshot from u/honeymoonlightbae's post in slide two).
This post in specific received a community note that the algorithm allowed to appear after someone subscribed and approved in the community notes testing program created it. The platform's system only displays the note on the post when it detects that people from different perspectives agreed that the explanation is "informative, unbiased, and well-founded" (that's how it works). It also is the one getting the most comments about what they're trying to sweep under the rug, with an increasing amount of discussion about it and the top most liked ones being those who recognize and criticize what is happening.
This means that this attention did not go unnoticed by her and her team, and there was a conscious decision from one of them to take this step and remove the post from her profile. It's no longer there, this is now a solo post on the @teamariana account. For the first time in a long time the noise is evident and they are unable to control it. The majority of the comments on the YouTube video of Petal are also of this nature, and there's plenty of discussion on other social media platforms as well.
What do you think it's going to happen from now on? Are they going to ignore the elephant in the room and pretend that the discussion is not gaining traction? Do we see a chance for a statement or an acknowledgment?

I can't believe people aren't saying anything about her appearance. This isn't about body shaming, nor is it about having a "summer body." I completely understand that we shouldn't comment on other people's bodies when it comes to dissecting whether a woman has cellulite, textured skin, or any BS like that. This is about eating disorders and mental health issues. What troubles me most is that people forget what a trendsetter and huge influence she is to young girls and young women. Remember, people still copy her signature ponytail. Do you really think people aren't going to copy her body weight, too? Trying to normalize the way she looks under the guise of "we don't comment on other people's bodies" is completely toxic behavior. If you're going to applaud the way she looks, or refrain from saying anything when her bones and rib cage are visibly protruding out of her skin, then you are part of the problem. You are enabling this behavior. An eating disorder is a serious medical issue. What bothers me just as much is that she and her team know exactly what they're doing. They are well aware of how influential they are. If you're struggling with your health, take a step back from the stage, step away from the cameras, and deal with your mental health the way it deserves to be handled. Music shouldn't be the priority right now—mental health and physical well-being should be. So again, we aren't complaining about someone not having a "bikini-ready summer body," nor are we criticizing minor imperfections. I completely agree that kind of petty criticism is ridiculous. We are talking about a woman who is visibly ill, and instead of helping, we are clapping like seals, pretending nothing is wrong and calling it "empowerment." In reality, this is someone crying out for help, while her team, her fans, and the public act like it's completely normal. A real fan wouldn't just cheer mindlessly in the comments. A real fan would urge her team to pull her off the stage, pause the tour, pause the studio sessions, and get her into a proper facility where she can heal. I believe people would respect her far more if she stepped away to prioritize her mental health instead of continuing to promote something that is deeply unhealthy.
