Comment on watching one of my favorite singers wither away right before our eyes is heartbreaking

  Up to 2020 looks like becoming an adult and losing kid cheeks to me. I won’t comment on 2021, because yikes, and 2023 looks like she’s too thin or got work done. More recent pictures make it more obvious that she’s getting thinner and thinner though.

    2018 was the red flag. She could be accused of masking as Hispanic before, but that could be explained by a change in diet and a summer tan. 2018 is the hard, The Emperor Has No Cloth moment where everyone knew something was wrong, but wouldn’t say anything to her face about it.

      Yeah, 2018 is fucked up and here likely indicates some sort of psychological issue, but there’s a long tradition of white people exploiting other people’s cultures for financial gain. It’s not an automatic red flag for mental illness for me in general.

        Yeah it’s sad that she has issues and that’s what the post is about, but have you heard about how “white people” are always exploiting everyone’s else’s “culture”?

        For financial gain no less?

  I know the phrase “It’s ok to be White” is a loaded phrase with a lot of bad history, but maybe someone should tell Ariana that.

    eh looks the opposite to me. 2011 looks like a lot of white foundation or whatever tf it’s called. after that she seems to have eased up on whitening herself.

  i think until 2020 it’s just aging and makeup. maybe some weight loss but lots of people age like that. after that though i don’t even know what’s happening
