Ariana Grande is getting candid about her health.
In a rare, three-minute confessional, the pop star addressed recent remarks about her body while using TikTok to discuss her mental health on Tuesday (April 11).
“I don’t do this often. I don’t like it. I’m not good at it. But I just wanted to address your concerns about my body, and talk a little bit about what it means to be a person with a body and to be seen and to be paid such close attention to,” she began.

“There are many different ways to look healthy and beautiful. And personally, for me, the body that you’ve been comparing my current body to was the unhealthiest version of my body,” she continued. “I was on a lot of anti-depressants 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’t my healthy.”
The Grammy-winning singer continued by saying that although she shouldn’t have to discuss her health problems, “something good might come” from being honest and transparent.
“Healthy can look different,” continued Grande.

“The second thing is you never know what someone is going through, so even if you’re coming from a loving place or a caring place, that person probably is working on it or has a support system that they’re working on it with. You never know, so be gentle with each other and yourselves,” she added.
