The backlash was a surprise to no one besides Ariana and her cult
The amount of Urinators crying about Ariana taking a break, screaming WHYY are people “so mean to her for just existing” just shows how out of touch they are. I mean Ariana and her fans have been living in a different world.
The homewrecker thing really soured her image. She never once spoke on it. Just became Grandma Meep and amped up her own “innocence” but trading in her sexier looks for nigh gowns. The GP wanted accountability. I’m sure she cut out opposing opinions in her team.
They probably only showed her the good things people were saying. Even when it came to her body. The GP noticed how thin she was getting. The conversation started way before the Petal MV. But again, her team only focused on the good reception.
So of course now when people are screaming that she looks skeletal, there’s community notes, and the discourse is over her body and character over her narrative, the team is scrambling.
I hope she steps away and gets the help she needs, but it goes to show what happens when you only keep the opinions that align with her.
And dare I say, with her new look, pretty privilege has always worn out, and cannot soften the blows:
