Ariana Grande sparked weight-loss concerns among fans in her new music video, with many pointing out how incredibly gaunt she looks in the violent music video.
The singer and actress released her eighth studio album ‘Petal’ on the 31st (July), marking her return as a singer after two years.
In the clip Grande plays the character of Pepper, an aspiring starlet who attends multiple auditions in a bid to become famous.
After failing yet another audition, a group of studio bigwigs brand Grande ‘unmarketable’, ‘unattractive’, and ‘inauthentic,’ before accusing her of having a personality disorder.
‘We miss the old you,’ one tells her. ‘Maybe you could go out and find her and come back and give it another shot?’
Grande leaves, only to return moments later with a chainsaw, which she uses to violently dismember the men.
Health concerns spread after the release of Grande’s new music video, many fans were more distracted by Grande’s weight than anything else.
‘This is like looking at Karen Carpenter and everyone was like [shrug],’ wrote one fan.
‘I am actually so over us normalizing this and acting like this is okay,’ wrote a second.
‘Shocking and heartbreaking,’ wrote a third, while a fourth added, ‘For the love of God, please eat something.’
Another wrote, ‘Her bones are literally popping out.’
