While some may find the tabloid fodder of it all distasteful, it’s certainly the kind of juicy on-set drama that would make Hugh Grant proud
The thing is, she’s one lone person and Ariana has a PR team. She probably wants to get her side of the story out before the PR team tells the tale of two people who found love on set after heartbreak/end of marriages. Why would she want that story out there for the world too?
There’s a very strong thread of defensiveness of Grande in your arguments against cheap misogyny. It’s entirely possible that the man with free will was reacting idiotically to the woman without empathy for her newfound friend. I get it, I do, but it sounds like you’re really desperate to let Grande off the proverbial…
No. It belongs to both. The reason Jay even made the, “girl’s girl,” dig was because Grande was showing up that their house, presenting herself as friend, was carrying the baby around and offering help, while she and Slater were already in an affair. Both Grande and Slater were being duplicitous and awful.
Jay really hasn’t said much aside from the, “girl’s girl” dig, which is reflective of reports that Grande came out of nowhere, basically presented to be a new friend to her, who cared about her child and family, who she invited into her house, and was actually fucking her husband at that time. That’s an extra layer of…
I want to be very clear that I agree with you generally, and that the take that many will form that Arianna Grande is a seductress fully responsible for this is highly problematic.
I don’t disagree with that, but coming on to married men is also pretty shitty. Especially if you’re famous and beautiful. This is a fling for her, life-altering for him.
I expect she’s blaming him plenty, but this will last about a month and Grande will move on, leaving a broken family in her wake with no regrets of her own.
If I were asked to have an opinion on this:
“blaming Ariana Grande and not your soon-to-be-ex husband isn’t the best look” LOLOL! I read this as, “Ethan Slater is not the best looking”. I couldn’t make it read as you meant it for at least five reads... Well, he isn’t, and it may not be the best look, but the little troll is a moron. Ariana is not going to keep…
At least you’re learning a lot more about Vanderpump Rules than you used to.
...or that she has a PROVEN HISTORY of breaking up multiple relationships. Bottom line, she as a single person shouldn’t be making herself readily available to someone that’s married end of story.
Now they use “normie” without irony. Oof.
Remember when the A.V. Club used to do deep dives into like the 2000's Midwest punk scene and there’d be like 500 comments?
If you see a concert and don’t post video online, did you even go?
I quit going to concerts ten years ago after I paid $700 to watch hundreds of people record Fleetwood Mac on their phones. The venue didn't do a damned thing.
The last baby boomer was born in 1964. Do you really think many 60 year olds are commenting on this website?
Do we want to relativize rudeness, though? Could they have waited until the artist was between songs t0 have someone take their picture?
I think a picture or two is ok at a concert.
