Ariana Grande fires back at her haters online, says body shaming is ‘not sexy’
Pop singer Ariana Grande has fired back at her haters after becoming a target of body shamers on social media.
Grande, whose body was compared to Ariel Winter in an online post, hit back at body shamers via Twitter on Monday. The artist posted a screenshot of the derogatory message on her feed along with her smart take on all the negative comments about her body.
“We live in a day and age where people make it IMPOSSIBLE for women, men, anyone to embrace themselves exactly how they are. Diversity is sexy! Loving yourself is sexy!” she said.
The 22-year-old artist explained in the photo that “misogyny, objectifying, labeling, comparing and body shaming” other people is not sexy. According to Grande, body shaming shouldn't hinder men and women from embracing themselves.
“CELEBRATE YOURSELF. CELEBRATE OTHERS. The things that make us different from one another make us BEAUTIFUL. BODY BOUNDARIES,” the singer added.
The singer added that everyone should feel “LOVE LOVE LOVE ONLY,” adding a reminder for her followers, “you’re beautiful.”
Grande's fans showered her with praise for her response and for being an inspiration for many. One of her followers wrote on Twitter, “I can't believe anyone would have the nerve to say something that rude. We need people like you, standing up for EVERYONE.”
Meanwhile, Winter supported Grande’s post by sharing her tweet and adding her own comment on the issue. “Thank you @ArianaGrande Women should empower one another. Celebrate each other- you're all beautiful,” she actress wrote on her Twitter feed.
Grande is no stranger to criticism. Back in June, the “Break Free” singer spoke out against misogyny, following her split from artist Big Sean. The singer uploaded an inspiring essay about women empowerment on her Twitter feed.
The pop singer began her career in a Broadway musical at the age of 13 before bagging a starring role on Nickelodeon's television series “Victorious” in 2009. She recently made a cameo appearance on Fox series “Scream Queens.”
