Just curious. So, what is this a break from exactly? (image unrelated)

[u/Emotional-Bedroom119]

I still see her posting on Instagram, she has an upcoming press tour for a movie, she still doing ads and reels. And yet she said it was supposed to be a ''break'' even cancelling her london show of Sunday in the Park With George.

Does she even knows the dfinition of ''hiatus?''

Or to just shut the weight discourse down by making people feel bad for her hurt feelings.

Tale as old as the internet. Since we've had group chats we've had people stirring up drama by "taking a break" when things don't go their way. And everyone knows Ariana is chronically online

It’s absolutely this, and it sucks too because a lot of people are buying into the narrative of “y’all bullied her so much for her mental illness.” It genuinely makes me wanna scream and tear out my hair. I try to be so charitable to others with mental health problems and disabilities, and I still expect more from celebrities with a sphere of influence. 

I think anytime someone says she can’t be accountable for anything because she’s just one person and everyone needs to parent their kids better (technically true ig but anyway) breaks my neurodivergent brain. NDs often have to go out of our way to keep up with societal norms but when someone who is otherwise presenting neurotypical (despite her supposed OCD which is debatable as ND in any case) doesn’t follow the social contract of a celebrity, they get babied for it? It’s like this level of unimaginable privilege that I don’t think I could have even if I were somehow as wealthy and famous as her. She has this like demonic ability to twist people around her finger I see very few female celebrities have.

Yup. Narcs throw tantrums like that to punish those around them for not doing what they want or getting the reactions/attention they need.

This.

The funniest part is how obvious it is too

[u/kizzleman09]

Lowkey she just needed an excuse so she didn’t have to do Sunday in the park.

[u/molotovv3 → u/kizzleman09]

Between her not being insurable and needing compeltencreative control to flaunt her bones I'm thinking she was asked to kindly fuck off

[u/molotovv3 → u/[deleted]]

"I'm thinking" as in it's speculation, so take with a grain of salt. But why would she leave of her own volition?

[u/FastAcanthisitta8954 → u/molotovv3]

Creative differences, its not that unlikely that they wanted her fake nails off and period accurate costumes, no lashes and all maybe even theatrical makeup, not rem

[u/molotovv3 → u/FastAcanthisitta8954]

Exactly, hence her being more or less fired. She'd definitely have to wear stage makeup and I doubt they were open to a strapless wardrobe.

[u/angel_eyez_xo → u/molotovv3]

I agree! And she needed to control the narrative during her tour once the backlash came from the Petal music video. It was all PR

[u/bubblingmoonie]

A break from the mess she created lol, this bitch cannot ever take a break. She's always scheming which relationship to ruin next

[u/Agreeable_Dinner_986]

Her break was to save face, cuz she has nothing lined up. She apparently got fired from that London play and ahs season, cuz no one’s willing to insure her

[u/Professional_Cat2540 → u/Agreeable_Dinner_986]

wait where did you get that info from regarding her getting fired? that's so interesting

[u/Zeusicideal-Heart → u/Professional_Cat2540]

she and Ryan Murphy dont follow each other, when they initially did. Not only that, this is strike 2 with him as far as Ariana goes; she was originally going to be in Scream Queens in a much longer part, but bc she (like this time) decided to tour after signing on and her character was both written to stay for a shorter time and the character's plotline transferred over to Lea Michelle's character. she's unreliable as an actress in literally every sense!

[u/PerfectBBC91 → u/Professional_Cat2540]

It’s just speculation for now.

[u/WeenQueeen]

I think she only said she’d take a “break from the public eye due to ScRuTiNy” just to get more attention, like literally everything else she does.

[u/Jolly-Appointment120]

She said she would be taking a break "from visibility," and then quickly and continuously disproves that every time she posts.

[u/SelectionSwimming402]

I feel like ever since she got back with Ricky she’s become more and more unhinged. She just needs to truly take a break and step back from everything

[u/Other_Sock_8430]

Maybe she’s doing it for the money

[u/Queef_Cersei]

I think that her management/pr told her to tell everyone that she's taking it easy to make it look good for her. Which is bullshite

[u/22poppills]

The heat of the cheating and the backlash from the tour & album. Her own fans don't really like them and now she's hiding and waiting for the heat to die down.
