Ariana Grande expressed her thoughts on TikTok about the comments made on her appearance and others' on Tuesday.
The Grammy winner wanted to "address concerns" and 'talk about what it is to be a human with a physical body and be noticed and paid so much attention'.
The 'Thank U, Next" singer stated that we should all be more gentle and less comfortable with commenting on the bodies of others. She added that there are many ways to compliment someone or ignore something you see you don't enjoy. We should all strive to be safer.
Grande added that there are several ways to be healthy and beautiful.
She admitted that she had struggled with her health at times, but that she "shouldn't be required to explain this." She said that she wanted to share the message because she hoped that it would be beneficial for her followers.
You never know what someone else is going through. Even if you come from a loving and caring place, the person may be working on this or have a support network that they work with. You never know. Be gentle with yourself and each other.
The'Wicked' star concluded her video by sending a powerful message to her fans, telling them, 'I believe you are beautiful, no matter what's going on.'
The video that Grande released on Tuesday was not the first she has done.
In 2015, after she saw inappropriate comments about her and the 'Modern Family" actor Ariel Winter in social media, she posted a message on her Instagram.
She concluded that "the differences that we have from each other make us beautiful."
