Wicked Star Ariana Grande Faces Backlash Over Her Slimmed-Down Look Amid Personal Struggles

Fame is taking a major toll on Wicked star Ariana Grande and fans are worried she may be putting her health at risk!

Insiders say the increasingly gaunt-looking actress, 31, has been weighed down by the stress of filming and promoting the blockbuster musical.

“It’s just the nonstop running on that kind of schedule. … It’s that much harder to take care of yourself — mentally as well as physically,” a source says.

As GLOBE readers know, Ariana often tries to imitate the iconic style of her idol Audrey Hepburn. “But Ariana seems to have taken her adoration way too far, to the point where she’s getting dangerously thin,” warns a source.

While Audrey’s slim figure was the result of near-starvation growing up in Nazi-occupied Holland, “Ariana has no such excuse,” the tipster says. “She follows a vegan diet but eats the bare minimum by measuring out portions. It’s not a good look and friends and fans fear she’s putting her health at risk.”

As one fan posted on social media, “I know she has been slim all her life but seeing her now is worrying, she is so small.”

Over the last several years, the songbird has also been plagued by a string of personal tragedies that have affected her well-being.

In May 2017, a suicide bomber killed 22 people and injured hundreds at her concert in Manchester, England, which left the devastated star with PTSD.

Then a year later, her ex-boyfriend and “dearest friend” Mac Miller died from an accidental drug overdose.

After a whirlwind romance and brief engagement to SNL alum Pete Davidson, the two broke up in October 2018.

In 2022, a year after she married real estate broker Dalton Gomez, she and her Wicked costar Ethan Slater, 32, began a romantic relationship. After both ditched their spouses, Lilly Jay, Slater’s ex-wife and the mother of his infant son, publicly called out Ariana for breaking up their family.

According to the Mayo Clinic, extreme weight loss can put people at high risk of serious physical harm or even death.

But Ariana has clapped back at the scaremongers, claiming on TikTok she was actually at her unhealthiest when she was heavier. “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.”
