Singer Ariana Grande has called on fans to be \u201cgentler and less comfortable\u201d about remarking on her and other peoples\u2019 bodies after recent scrutiny of her appearance on social media.<\/p>\n

In a TikTok video, she said she had a body that is \u201cpaid such close attention to\u201d, so \u201cwanted to address\u201d concerns.<\/p>\n

It comes after some users commented on her apparent recent weight loss.<\/p>\n

Grande said they were \u201ccomparing my current body\u201d to \u201cthe unhealthiest version of my body\u201d.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old US star explained: \u201cI was on a lot of antidepressants and drinking on them and eating poorly and at the lowest point of my life when I looked the way you consider my healthy, but that in fact wasn\u2019t my healthy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know I shouldn\u2019t have to explain that, but I do feel like maybe having an openness and some sort of vulnerability here will [mean] something good might come from it. I don\u2019t know but that\u2019s the first thing. Healthy can look different.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Many different kinds of beautiful\u2019<\/h2>\n

She continued: \u201cThe second thing is, you never know what someone is going through. Even if you are coming from a loving place and a caring place, that person probably is working on it or has a support system that they are working on it with.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou never know. So be gentle with each other and with yourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stressing that \u201cthere are many different kinds of beautiful,\u201d Grande suggested fans should avoid making even \u201cwell-intentioned\u201d remarks about how \u201chealthy, unhealthy, big, small, this, that, sexy, non-sexy\u201d people may look.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are ways to compliment someone or to ignore something that you see that you don\u2019t like, that I think we should help each other work towards,\u201d she said. \u201cWe should aim toward being safer, and keeping each other safer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grande\u2019s fellow singer\/actress Selena Gomez has also spoken out about body shaming comments (Amy Sussman)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Grande, known for pop hits such as One Last Time and Thank U, Next, is also an actress and is set to star as Glinda Upland in the forthcoming Wicked film, based on the musical of the same name.<\/p>\n

She has has previously opened up about her \u201canxiety\u201d and mental health issues, especially following the Manchester Arena attack, when a suicide bomber killed 22 people after her concert in May 2017.<\/p>\n

She is not the only star to find her weight being widely discussed. Last month, Selena Gomez said there were reasons why someone\u2019s body size and shape might change. In her case, lupus medication causes her to retain water.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just want people to know that you\u2019re beautiful and you\u2019re wonderful,\u201d the 30-year-old singer and actress told her TikTok followers.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd yeah we have days where maybe we feel like [rubbish] but I would much rather be healthy and take care of myself, and my medications are important and I believe they are what helps me. So, yeah, [I\u2019m] not a model, never will be.\u201d<\/p>\n
