The press tour for Wicked: For Good has reignited commentary around Grande\u2019s appearance, with fans discussing what has been informally called \u201cthe Wicked effect\u201d, Cosmopolitan reported.<\/p>\n
Posters have reshared images of Grande and her co-stars in the 2010s alongside recent pictures to point out the actor\u2019s parallel weight loss while working on the Broadway adaptation.<\/p>\n
But Dr Elizabeth Wassenaar told USA Today this kind of speculation can have the opposite effect than intended.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese comments about how your body is acceptable or unacceptable, it reinforces again that you are not worth more than your body … and that you have to present yourself a certain way for the world to find you acceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old\u2019s appearance has been the subject of intense scrutiny for several years.<\/p>\n
In 2023, Grande posted a personal video opening up about her health struggles as she urged fans to be wary of their words.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was on a lot of antidepressants and drinking on them and eating poorly and at the lowest point of my life when I looked the way you consider my healthy, but that in fact wasn\u2019t my healthy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grande also faced criticism in the late 2010s for her supposed overuse of fake tan, which was labelled \u201cblackfishing\u201d by detractors.<\/p>\n
The Wicked films themselves have been plagued by a series of controversies since production began in 2022, according to the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n
Grande was entangled in a public cheating scandal with co-star Ethan Slater after TMZ reported the pair were in a relationship in July 2023, the same month he filed for divorce from estranged wife Lilly Jay.<\/p>\n
Jay told Page Six her family was \u201ccollateral damage\u201d as she described Grande as \u201cnot a girl\u2019s girl\u201d.<\/p>\n
The singer-turned-actress was also married when she met Slater on the set of the film, though her divorce filing alleged she separated from property developer Dalton Gomez on February 20, 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The press tour for Wicked: For Good has reignited commentary around Grande\u2019s appearance, with fans discussing what has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":160612,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[1443,6030,95,82996,13492,156,83527,134,111,139,69,6379,37882,16121,24602,9871,61,18216,74302],"class_list":["post-160611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-about","tag-again","tag-and","tag-ariana","tag-effect","tag-entertainment","tag-grande","tag-health","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-ongoing","tag-responded","tag-responds","tag-rumours","tag-speculation","tag-to","tag-weight","tag-wicked"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160611","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=160611"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160611\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/160612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160611"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=160611"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=160611"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
