Ariana Grande has no time for naysayers.

During an interview promoting "Wicked," the pop star spoke out against the body-shaming she has faced throughout her career.

Crazy Sally, a French journalist and content creator, conducted an emotional interview with Ariana Grande, who was accompanied by her "Wicked" co-star Cynthia Erivo. Erivo held Grande's hand as the singer spoke about the topic.

Grande responded to the question about handling high beauty standards by acknowledging that she has been in the public eye since she was young and has heard it all. She has heard every version of what's wrong with her and how to fix it, but the reasons for it being wrong change.

From your appearance to the complexities of life, you're constantly exposed to a variety of experiences as a young person.

Grande explained that even non-celebrities can face criticism and struggle with it, as she stated, "It’s hard to protect yourself from that noise."

"No matter the scale or context, hearing someone comment on your weight is always uncomfortable and unpleasant."

She theorized that some people feel more comfortable than ever to comment on another person's appearance or "what they think is going on behind the scenes or their health." She called this "comfortability" that those people are feeling "really dangerous . . . for all parties involved."

Recently, as Grande has been appearing and giving interviews for "Wicked," her fans and critics alike have commented on her appearance, particularly regarding her weight.

There are worries that she looks thinner than before, with some likening her appearance to Karen Carpenter, who tragically passed away at 32 due to anorexia.

"Grande stated that she is fortunate to have a strong support system and to feel confident in her own beauty. However, she understands the weight of the constant noise and has learned to exclude it from her life. She has work to do, a life to live, and friends to love, and she is filled with love. She no longer allows space for the unwelcome noise in her life."

Anyone dealing with something similar should prioritize their well-being, either by removing toxic individuals from their lives or by disconnecting from social media.

"She said firmly, "No one has the right to say s---," before laughing and asking, "Can you tell I needed that today?""

Planet Chronicle Digital did not receive an immediate response from Grande's representative.
