Singer and actress Ariana Grande recently opened up about battling trolls and dealing with the unrealistic beauty standards set by the industry. Speaking to French journalist Salima Pombaga, Ariana Grande said she has heard “every version” of how she has looked or styled herself over the years.

“I’ve been doing this in public and, you know, a specimen in a petri dish, actually, since I was 16 or 17 years old. So, I’ve heard it all. I’ve heard every version of what happened to me And then you fix it, and then it goes wrong, even the simplest thing, like your appearance. This is something that is difficult to save. Uncomfortable, no matter what scale you’re experiencing it on,” the singer shared.

Ariana also talked about how people have become comfortable criticizing others for their looks.

“There is a spontaneity that we should not have at all in commenting on others’ looks or health or how they present themselves, from what you are wearing to your body to your face. I think there’s a spontaneity to it that is actually a danger to all parties involved. I’m fortunate that I have a support system to know and believe that I am beautiful. But I know what the pressure of that noise feels like. It has resided in my life since I was 17 years old. I don’t invite it in anymore. This is not welcome. I have work to do. I have one life to live. I have friends to love. It is not invited. I don’t leave room for it anymore. Ariana Grande signed off, saying no one has the right to say bullshit.

On the work front, Ariana is busy promoting her latest film, Wicked.
