Omg this confirms so much, but it's truly for the best for her to get healthy. I mean she's been going nonstop since Wicked began filming years ago. Sis deserves a break

Who's mad she's taking a break? Nobody in this thread said that

Congratulations Cameela Jamil now you get to play the hero and sleep well at night thinking that your Instagram post saved her life. What now.

It's for the best tbh, I'm glad she is doing it, just prioritize yourself, and get the recovery you need. She has been working very hard, project after project, in the last couple of years. Besides all the trauma she's been put through, she needs a break.

In the meantime, we will keep streaming 'petal'.

What does it confirm other than people bullied her into disappearing from the public eye?

The woman is sick, why do some of you think banning any talk of it or acting like she's healthy any better? and why are you even mad that she's finally taking a deserved break to focus on her physical and mental health? There's no world where this is normal or healthy, saying otherwise is just delusional and borderline dangerous

Throughout all of this, you have no evidence that she has not been in treatment or Is not actively working on her health.

Your issues have nothing to do with whether she is working on herself or not because you have no idea what she has or hasn't been doing.

Your issues start and stop with your disgust and discomfort with her body and demanding your disgust be centered.

It's telling that her rep's statement explicitly mentions the break is due to the constant scrutiny and not the bold, and yet one half of her critics are patting themselves on the back, feeling vindicated that the harassment campaign worked, while the other half use that the statement explicitly cites the scrutiny and doesn't validate their concerns as the basis for further conspiracy on why the harassment has to continue as an act of moral good.

I hate it came to this but she is overdue for a real break. Really hope she takes all the time she needs because her appearances over the last few months have been a bit concerning.

two things can be true at the same time.

its not helpful for certain fans to pretend nothing is wrong when we all agree shes thinner than she was in 2018-2019. its even more harmful for non fans to dismiss the convo to say go rest and eat something.

if this is truly an ED case, we failed. the tour & petals may have genuinely improved her mental health. but the constant scrutiny and psuedo-concern adds more stress, and causing her to step back. which can effect her mental health and further influence ED.

this is why we needa approach this with compassion.

Good for her, but 2025 was supposed to be a 'silent' year for her too, Wicked and the ES film were already filmed so she wasn't supposed to do much that year. Let's hope she really takes a break and this is just not a PR script to calm down the waters

She had to take a break because

people didn't like her body. So wild.

Mind you, everything about

her health is 100% speculation.

...Vin

People blaming it on 'bullying' rather than common sense. Putting the weight issues aside, anytime an artist looks tired, stressed, sad, or in no conditions to keep up with the tight schedule of a promo cycle, people usually tell them to go to rest. Like, as a Lovatic, I recall 2014, 2016, and 2021 when it was clear Demi wasn't at her best to be in the public eye, so the best was to expect her to take a break. It has nothing to do with bullying, aside from the long time haters

good, she needs to take a break

I'm reading about "pseudo concern" a lot and it leaves me really confused.

Of course i am "pseudo concerned". She is not my friend, I don't know her personally. So I don't REALLY care about what she does in her private life (i also didn't care at all when she started dating Ethan Squarepants) but I'm pretty sure she's not at a great place physically and mentally and I want her to get better as I would want any person to feel good, even if I Just know them the tiniest bit.

Does that make any sense? It makes sense to me.

Wishing her the best

Her team's statement from PEOPLE basically blaming everyone for being concerned instead of realizing it's time to focus on her health is...

and everyone who had something to say about her go straight to hell

As an Ariana fan, I wasn't expecting anything less than a long break. People haven't gotten tired of offending her, talking about her body, saying she looks tired, and even implying that she could die. Those comments are horrible. And they mask those comments under a fake concern that nobody is buying. Lots of miserable people in the world. I wish my Ariana so much love and thank you for this album.

I'm genuinely pissed, not at her but at everybody whose been so vicious towards her. I don't care about the critics and public reactions, Petal is a great album and the fact that we probably wont get any promo or more MVs/singles anymore due to the relentless bullying she's gone through is upsetting. I completely get it but it sucks.

It confirms that her likely health issues are enough to step away from the public eye and pull out of multiple projects she signed on to do.

It confirms her emaciated and gaunt appearance wasn't the public's imagination. Whether it's from exhaustion, stress, or disordered eating, pushing herself on a world tour in that condition can't be easy.

Public speculation / scrutiny ≠ bullying. The indifference and gaslighting from her team, sycophant fans, and even Ariana herself is not helpful or honest. She is a multimillionaire public figure with a massive following and major influence in Hollywood and pop culture. Releasing a music video with scenes of her sternum and collar bones prominently exposed is only feeding into the scrutiny and fanning the flames.

Do you think they can just force her to do that though? It's not that easy. A lot of the concern out there is genuine, sure, but there is a lot of harassment going on too (getting a random unhelpful community note added to her team IG account's post as just one example).
