Ariana Grande's Before And After Weight Loss Journey: Didn't Eat When Stressed, Took Antidepressants

Ariana Grande, the famous superstar, is known for her powerful voice and bubbly personality. She has recently been in the limelight after being seen promoting her movie, Wicked: For Good Part 2. Social media users were concerned that Ariana looked very thin in her pictures, and fans began discussing whether she eats.

According to a report by Yahoo News, Ariana has had a toxic relationship with fame that has also affected her mental wellness. The report stated that Ariana lost thousands of Instagram followers when she came into a relationship with Ethan Slater and also lost oodles of weight. Her fans have pointed out the fact that Ariana has been thinner and that maybe because of the recent promotions, she lost so much of weight. Users also noted of how Ariana had the burden of maintaining her public image.

Ariana Grande does not eat when stressed

Social media has been discussing about how it looks like Ariana Grande, who has been busy with the promotion of the second instalment of Wicked. It looked as if she had not eaten in months. Fans have raised concerns about the same and have been speculating about sinister causes. A source of Ariana in an interview with Life & Style shared that Ariana forgets to eat when she is stressed. The recent pictures of the Thank U singer from the Wicked movie promotions have raised eyebrows.

Ariana Grande's fans in April 2025 shared that she looked healthy

According to a report by The Times of India, fans of Ariana had earlier reported the criticism she faced related to her body. Earlier, when she was spotted at the CinemaCon event in April 2025, fans noted that she looked healthy in the pictures. At one end, they were concerned about how she became extremely thin during the Wicked promotions. On the flip side, Ariana looked stunning in a semi-sheer skirt, which she paired with black plumos and a USD 330 necklace from her Swarovski collaboration. Fans commented on how she looked healthier and had put on weight. Ariana's fans came to her defence after she was repeatedly slammed for losing a lot of weight.

Ariana Grande confessed to taking antidepressants that resulted in her weight loss

Ariana in a TikTok clip had addressed the specualtions related to her unhealthy weight loss and revealed that she does not do this often and that she is not good at the same.

Ariana addressed of taking antidepressants and shared:

There are many different ways to look healthy and beautiful. I know personally for me, the body you’ve been comparing my current body to was the unhealthiest version of my body. I was on a lot of antidepressants and drinking on them and eating poorly and at the lowest point in my life when I looked the way you consider my ‘healthy.’ But in fact, that wasn’t my ‘healthy.’ Healthy can look different.”

Was Ariana Grande's weight loss due to her breakup with Ethan Slater?

Ariana's video came when she posted a picture in a black dress on Instagram, and fans had started calling her thin. Ariana urged her sea of followers to be a little gentler and also less comfortable commenting on people’s bodies. She shared that even if someone had good intentions, one does not really know what someone is going through, even if the person is coming from a loving place. There were earlier reports that Ariana was in the limelight when she split from Ethan, which began in 2023. This was after Ariana had separated from her husband, Dalton Gomez.

A source close to People shared that the backlash Ariana faced because of her and Ethan's romantic relationship added more stress in her life. The source close to the singer revealed that Ariana wanted all her projects to be successful, but she feels especially anxious about how Wicked will be received. The source shared that when the film is out, people will be curious to know if she and Ethan had an affair during the filming of the movie.

Was Ariana Grande suffering from any eating disorder?

Reports were floating earlier that Ariana Grande was reportedly suffering from an eating disorder. Social media users in the recent past have also commented that the actress may have used weight loss drugs like Ozempic, and Ariana had to request her fans to be kind towards everyone. She shared that their words were deeply hurtful and did not wish anyone to make comments on the bodies of others. Crediting her support system, Ariana shared that she had been in front of the public since she was 16 or 17 and never wanted to fix her appearance in front of them. Ariana shared that when she was younger, it was difficult for her to protect herself from that kind of noise, and being judged based on her appearance was hurtful. In a press interview, she shared:

"However, you all can protect yourselves from that noise — whether it’s at a family reunion or online if you gotta block people, I don’t care. I think in today’s society, there is a comfortability that we shouldn’t have at all — commenting on others’ looks, appearance, what they think is going on behind the scenes or health or how they present themselves."
