Ariana Grande has had an enormous amount of public sympathy in recent years. The turning point was the Manchester Arena terrorist attack, where terrorists set off pipe bombs during Ariana’s 2017 concert. Twenty-two people died and over a thousand people were injured. Ariana was beyond devastated, and she was extremely brave to return to Manchester after the bombing, to raise money for the families and support the community. Ariana had so much goodwill after that. And… it’s kind of over. Ariana dumped her husband Dalton Gomez and carried on with Ethan Slater, a man with a wife and baby at home. Ari blew up this guy’s life just because she was bored in London, working on Wicked. Speaking of, Ethan Slater has now filed for divorce:
Ariana Grande’s boyfriend wants a totally clean slate going into his new relationship with the singer … filing to divorce his estranged wife. According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Ethan Slater decided to legally end things Wednesday with Lilly Jay … filing divorce papers in New York. We don’t yet know the specific reason Ethan’s listed for the split.
Ethan and Lilly were high school sweethearts — getting hitched back in 2018 — and welcomed a son together last year.
The divorce news came just hours after TMZ posted this story, where Ethan’s wife Lilly Jay is refusing to go quietly. Lilly is telling people that she feels like Ethan abandoned his family as he’s entered a full-blown relationship with Ari:
Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater’s romance came as a surprise to the Broadway actor’s now-estranged wife who feels he abandoned his family … TMZ has learned.
Sources close to Lilly Jay — who married Slater back in 2018 — tell us she’s devastated her family’s been torn apart. She’s also upset their young son, who was born in August 2022, won’t have both his mom and dad around constantly, now that they’ve split.
Our sources say Lilly and Ethan aren’t on good terms now that the Ariana relationship is full steam ahead. We’re also told, for her part, Lilly feels like he’s completely turned his back on his family.
What’s more, we’re told Ariana actually used to hang out with both Ethan and Lilly while they were still a happily married couple, and she even liked his Instagram tribute to Lilly on Mother’s Day this year. Remember, we’re told Ariana and Ethan’s romantic relationship started several months ago. The whole thing has left Lilly feeling betrayed and heartbroken … according to our sources.
Additional sources close to the situation tell us, “It’s understandable that emotions are high and it’s hard seeing your ex move on, especially in such a public way, and her friends are trying to protect her. But Ari and Ethan are just trying to lay low and be respectful of their exes as they pursue this new relationship.”
Other people were making this point on Twitter (X): Ethan blew up his marriage for a woman who barely stays in relationships for a year at a time. It could be that Ari will pull a Full Miranda Lambert and make a big show of sticking this one out for a while. But I doubt it. Ethan also sounds like a total douchebag, my god.

I Hope she gets sole custody. She doesn’t deserve to half loose her baby after HE decided to walk out
You make a good point, but courts don’t look at it that way. Kids need and deserve fathers. Even messy ones like Slater.
@ Brassy Rebel, true, they do. But I hope that Ms. Jay files for divorce on her own based on abandonment as well as unfaithfulness. In addition, Ms. Jay should include emotional suffering and anguish as well. Ms. Jay has plenty of evidence to support it, especially that IG photo that one of the cast members posted!?
I had a baby the same month they did, and the whole situation makes me feel sick. I can’t imagine having to live without my baby 50% of the time, especially because my husband ditched me for a pop star. The baby does deserve to know Dad but hopefully he’s so busy performing/filming/being a douchebag that Lilly gets custody more like 60-75% of the time. if Lilly has been staying home with the baby I hope a judge decides that’s better for him than a nanny (assuming Ethan would have to hire a nanny whenever he would have custody). Otherwise it’s like Lilly gets punished for doing nothing wrong.
@sarator I agree with you. Lily has been quietly taking care of a baby while her husband has f*cked around. When he abandoned his wife AND CHILD he made the choice for himself. She should have sole custody, he’s allowed visitation (which is seemingly how things have been anyway since he’s been filming in London).
Yeah, well regardless the child deserves ample access to it’s father.
Or maybe how about we hope that he is a good father (even if he’s not a good husband) and nurtures a strong relationship with his child, regardless of all this mess.
We can hope, but it’s very doubtful. The baby is likely still breastfeeding, and if even not, babies are physically very connected to their caregivers (usually the mom). Doing this to someone caring for your baby 24/7 affects your baby. He’s not a good guy.
Meli,
I agree that ideally he will be a good father and very involved with his kid. That is the best outcome for the child. But that doesn’t stop me from having all the sympathy for his wife, who I am sure in her heart would WANT what is best for her baby– but also is human and may really struggle with having to part with the baby 50% of the time because her fuckwit of a husband cheated on her and left her for Ariana Grande.
Everyone saying “the baby needs his dad” ? Yes! Absolutely! But it’s fair that people are questioning his ability to BE a good dad. A good dad would have thought about his child first, not his dick. I hope that now that the damage is done, he does everything he can to be there for his kid and to make the rest of this ordeal as easy on his discarded wife as possible.
Also, I strongly agree that this is not going to be a forever situation, and when Ari moves on, this guy is going to realize what an absolute moron he is.
This is so gross. Honestly I hope this bad press sticks and ruins both of their reputations and their movie bombs. What horrible people.
Baby needs dad too – but whether she knows it or not, she will end up FAR better off and happier! He is showing his true colors and she can do much better.
I never said that the baby shouldn’t have access to his father (weekends, vacations) but my point is that the primary caregiver should remain the primary caregiver. I would be devastated if I had to have joint custody with someone who willingly choose to abandon his family.
Shared custody is out of the question. How fair and cruel would it be for the innocent scorned wife to pack her baby’s little bag, knowing her precious child is about to spend time with an unstable homewrecking witch?
If I were a judge, I would grant the “dad” – who failed to prioritize his role as a father over his d&&ck – supervized visitation every second weekend, and that’s it. The mother did nothing wrong and has a moral compass that makes her more deserving of being awarded sole custody. ++ @Normades
By the time Ariana Gross is done with her latest summer snack… The baby boy will thrive in a better environment if left with the mother as a main caregiver.
She should get sole physical custody. He should just agree to it. Once the child is older it can be modified but I don’t even know why he would want a 50/50 since it would interfere with his time with Ariana right now. He probably sees his baby as an inconvenience.
They are getting dragged and deserved for this.
Also, I don’t care when people say stuff like: “he’s the one in the marriage, we should only drag him.”
I don’t care about him because I didn’t know him before this. He’s a dumbass and a douchebag.
She is also so wrong for this and any “God is a woman” type of lyrics from her mean nothing anymore.
They have a very young child. Have some respect and class.
He is so unattractive. He should have been happy with the fact that his wife (the better looking party) accepted this. He is goofy looking as F. Ariana is such a sad person. She is legit a sociopath. Yes, I am a Psychologist, this comes from a place of knowledge and credentials.
The wife must be reeling. We all know how painful a standard break up can be, without it involving TMZ, the internet, and a petulant popstar. I just have so much sympathy for her.
Breaking up a family. Just imagine how little empathy you must possess to be capable of same. They are getting dragged and they deserve it. She is going to leave this guy so soon, like the clock is already ticking. Promo for Wicked is going to be wild. No sympathy for these awful people.
Wow. As a psychologist I would assume you wouldn’t diagnosis based on…uh…tabloid reports? Yikes.
@ melissa, I think that @ mel can make some formed opinion given how much has been printed and seen from all sides. I would believe @ mel opinion more than my own as I don’t have the medical degree and background.
@ mel, Ariana is a sociopath. Ariana has decades of history with regards to how she sees the outside world v her. Ariana
thinks that whatever she does, does not warrant criticism. Ariana wants control and narration of her life’s choices.
“Yes, I am a Psychologist, this comes from a place of knowledge and credentials.”
Given that sociopathy is not actually a medically recognized term or classification in your field under the DSM V, I’m giving this a big “sure, Jan.”
I agree. People are saying “Well, he’s the one who was married.” So was she! And the fact that she hung out with them and was friendly with the wife? OMG, Ari is such a mess. This guy gives off nerdy nice guy who can’t believe the hot girl wants to make out with him vibes. She’ll dump him as soon as Wicked is over. On the positive side, the press tour for this movie is going to be fun.
Yeah everyone keeps forgetting that she was married to Dalton and it seems pretty clear that there was an overlap here. IMO they’re both callous, selfish people—equally so. Anyway, I look forward to watching their brief romance crash and burn.
Exactly, they are BOTH married.
Yes they are both married, but do you notice how no one is accusing him of “stealing” her from Dalton? She was responsible for her marriage–and failed. He was responsible for his marriage AND his child–and he failed. He’s the homewrecker of his own marriage because he couldn’t keep his pants on with his wife’s attention on their new baby.
JustStop,
Ariana is one of the biggest pop stars on the planet with a net worth in the hundreds of millions. She has the fame and money and adoration of millions of people. She has the most power in this dynamic. That’s why people are coming for her.
Because women are an oppressed group, and AG is one of the most elite members of that group, many people would want her to show more restraint and care for a new mother.
@Leigh: I hope this helps you get your facts straight, because you are mistaken: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/sociopath-personality-disorder/
Not sure that “God Is a Woman” was ever meant to be anything but a reference to the bedroom, but she definitely told us who she was with “Break up with your girlfriend, I’m Bored”.
Also, what Jan said.
Her career will do OK as long as the music stays good. Messy has always been her brand.
He’s effed, however. He plays sweet, nebbishy guys. Who’s going to cast (or come to see him) in those roles anymore?
Well, Woody Allen is about due to drop dead any time now, right? Ethan could just reboot his gross, hacky, cliched schtick that people still watch and throw awards at for some reason.
Or he could just do a Howdy Doody biopic.
@Miranda He looks like a caricature of a person. Like human body, doll head.
He looks like a possessed Tin Tin.
He looks like her brother Frankie, minus the fake tan and with bad hair
I don’t like the framing of this situation in the media (AG’s PR working hard). The wife doesn’t “feel like” he abandoned his family, he absolutely did. Now they are suggesting they were already estranged? Such BS.
Why not call it what it is? A sordid affair. Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater engaged in an affair while their spouses waited for them at home none the wiser. Particularly the new mother.
Yep, Scooter Braun working over time on this one. And the bit about them laying low and respecting their exes? So disgusting.
Gross side note: he looks (very much) like Ari’s brother
@ Macheath, all of this!!!
My brother is trained in theatre & has many college friends on & around Broadway. One directs & regularly has to sit down with leads – esp ones who are new to lead roles or are in roles/shows that give them more visibility – and counsel them to not throw their existing lives & relationships away bc they’re getting caught up w the fellow lead. Happens enough he has a standard talk. He ended up coaching his own long time partner the very same when the leads were insisting they were in love & running away together. Sanity prevailed and families remained intact. But apparently there’s a regular dynamic in theatre especially triggered by a rise in visibility.
That makes sense. It seems to happen a lot, in both theater and screen productions. Your brother is wise to counsel them about this. I hope they listen.
I know that Sutton Foster’s husband Christian Borle cheated on her with Laura Bell Bundy when he was doing “Legally Blonde” with her on Broadway. And the thing is, Sutton was an established performer then and helped him get the role! Of course that marriage ended, but Borle and Bundy didn’t stay together either.
That’s just one example.
Yup. Another that comes to mind is Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski. She was dating Justin Long and he was married—thankfully no kids though. They were in an off-Broadway play together and later arranged to act in the same movie.
Team Lilly Jay. I hope she gets a really good divorce settlement, along with alimony and generous child support. I actually saw this guy live in SpongeBob and he was quite good. What a disappointment.
” But Ari and Ethan are just trying to lay low and be respectful of their exes as they pursue this new relationship.”
Wait. What??
Yeah, respect went out the window when they started cheating on their actual spouses.
Exactly!!! They have been flaunting this tryst for several weeks/months now. No one is buying AG’s peoples statements when they were the ones that broke the affair to everyone.
I think that AG shared it as Dalton started dating someone new so she chose to punish him further, than she already had, IIRC.
I hope Ariana & SpongeBob are shown the same amount of respect that they have shown to their spouses.
Ari and Ethan are trying to stay respectful of their exes!? What would this look like if they were disrespectful of their exes?
And, yeah, let’s not let SpongeBob off easy here. He totally did abandon his family. I hope his wife really takes this a-hole to the cleaners. His son isn’t even a year old!
His wife looks to be at least 10 years older than him. He reminds me of a dorky Grade 9’er. I can’t see this ending well and both their reputations will be ruined. Oh well. Not my moneys, not my circus.
* monkeys *
Tbh I don’t know what the wife saw in Ethan or what Ariana sees in him. He’s a pasty whittle twerp who obviously has a crap personality. Well actually Ariana has a crap personality too, so there’s that. I’m glad they are both getting dragged for this. Yes, he was the one who was married but she also k ew he was married and didn’t stop it. Maybe it’s me, but I don’t see what her appeal is? Her music is mediocre, she isn’t that pretty and has had the same ponytail for years. SMH. I hope Lilly gets sole custody.
Ariana is also married. Was married when this started. She is separated but not legally. No papers have been filed that we know of therefore she is also married and cheating in the strict sense of the word. But she has no infant children and her husband knew they were separated so it is not as evil IMO
Left his wife for a woman who can only last in a relationship for 6 months to a year. Pathetic.
Ethan Slater is the proverbial licked donut that will soon be put back in the box when Ariana tires of him.
You nailed it, @mslove.
Spot on. She did it because she could but that doesn’t mean she’s keeping him. He blew up his whole life for someone who isn’t losing or risking anything of equal value.
So much this. Ariana has a very clear track record with men that is highly likely to continue with this guy. I hope he’s alone and miserable in six months when she inevitably dumps him because she’s bored and moved on.
And he’ll go crawling back to his wife when he’s dumped.
If he’s been with his wife since school, I can see how the love bombing from AG turned his head (no excuse but it must be a factor).
I hope his wife has an excellent therapist. I also hope for her sake that Ari pays her off big time so she can start her own life. There won’t be consequences for AG. Never seem to be.
Isn’t Ariana based in Los Angeles? How is he planning to even be a part time parent if his infant son is in New York? I’m too old to care about Ariana and I’d never heard of Ethan but I’m very much looking forward to his ass being dumped as soon as she tires of him. What an idiot.
I doubt it will last long enough for that to be an issue.
Yeah, this right here. He’s the rebound. A bit of fun while she gets out of her starter marriage…and I’m not sure he realizes it!
I thought A had grown up somewhat in recent years, despite her revolving door of relationships. I was wrong – apparently she is still the same donut-licking, entitled spoiled brat she has always shown herself to be. I was so looking forward to Wicked, and now it feels very tainted by this ugliness. She’s a hot mess and unfortunately Teflon-coated, so she won’t have any lasting consequences.
My heart goes out to Lilly, the level of betrayal💔
And to have this all airing in real time in public, too. That’s heavy. And all the moms here especially understand that when you have an infant at home, any support loss of any kind is acutely felt.
Slater is delusional if he thinks Grande will keep him around for long. I hope his wife has a pitbull attorney who takes him for everything. When Grande (inevitably) drops him, let him have a lifetime of regrets.
I’d also like to see AG’s next “victim” turn the tables & dump her hard.
I think this is why Ari “dates down,” because her high profile partners in the past HAVE cheated on her (rumors re: Big Sean and possibly MM).
She is a mess though and if her partner does that, she’ll just shrug and be on to her next prey.
The spouses of these two don’t know it yet, but they were likely just given a gift. Good riddance. Let them go have their (brief) romance. We all know this dude will come crawling back to his wife when it inevitably ends.
She may not want him back. After this betrayal, how could she trust him again?
Oh, I hope she doesn’t should he try and win her back. Move on girl.
Hopefully Lilly Jay is smart enough not to take him back.
Someone pointed out that Miranda Lambert’s ex fling, Evan Felker, successfully got back together with his wronged wife and now they have a kid 😩 They didn’t even have children when he had the affair and she took him back. It’s not ideal but sadly, I can see how the mom of a young child would be even more forgiving…
Welp…I no longer want see the movie they’re starring in…and I KNOW THE PRODUCERS & STUDIO…ARE PISSED! So there’s THAT😡
I’ve seen quite a few comments like this. 😬
This is exactly how I feel. I am a fan of the musical and have seen it both on Broadway and on tour, and was cautiously looking forward to this one. I have to admit, Grande as Galinda/Glinda, the director, and the decision to split it up into two separate films (which feels like a money grab and invitation to add a bunch of filler and new songs no one asked for) were giving me my only reservations.
After this, though, I just feel ugh about the entire thing. I will catch it when it streams (for free) and I am sure it will be…fine. But I just don’t want to watch Ariana’s Galinda steal the man Elphaba is interested in and act like an entitled b!t@h to everyone while giggling (it’s only fun if the actress is in on the joke) and I have no desire to see Ethan Slater…at all. I don’t expect that to change. I still don’t enjoy John Mullaney’s work as much as I used to. I used to smile any time he was onscreen, especially when he talked about how much he loved his wife (which he made a huge part of his identity). Now it hits different.
So yeah, I hope Ariana and Ethan are proud of themselves.
Yea this is terrible PR for the film and as the divorce progresses we’ll just continue to be reminded of it. So Ethan was «wife guy » like Mulroney. That totally tracks.
That last bit about being respectful about their exes as they move on… I could stomach that if they’d actually had exes at the time. But they weren’t exes. They don’t get to just dump their partners and think they can just quietly move on. No, f-that. Especially with an infant at home for him.
This is wrong on EVERY level! Ariana cheated on her husband too. They are both selfish and awful, they deserve each other.
This guy is seriously creepy. I do not even know how he was able to get his wife. He always looks straight at the camera and he is never interacting with the person he is with only staring at the camera. He gives off very narcissistic vibes to me. I do not understand why he thinks he has any future with Ariana. She will dump him the minute it is inconvenient or if she gets bored or finds somebody better, Also his rep is tarnished even more than hers because he does not have her massive music fan base to fall back on. Idiot!
I expect this homewrecking-behaviour from celebrities but lord, men are so flickle. As if they just can’t wait to get on with a bigger star and leave their wife and child just to be left too after a few months.
Every time I see his picture, all I can think is “evil elf”.
Lol! As someone else mentioned above, he looks distinctly like her brother…who also looks like an evil elf.
I KNOW this is mean, but I just don’t get it. Is it his personality? And Ariana still seems to be that mean girl that licked the donut and put it back.
I have a daughter. I had to be part of a WhatsApp group for school information. It’s amazing how parents of some teenage boys think differently than parents of girls. Like girls who don’t wear bras or who wear long crop tops/ spaghetti straps interfere with the boys’ ability to learn. However, if the boys remove their tops for gym on hot days, this is not an issue…
Back in the day, I thought Angelina “stole” Jennifer’s man, Brad. Now I see that as Brad leaving by way of Angie.
Dalton Gomez’s marriage was destroyed by Ariana cheating on him. Not by Ethan: Ethan was the tool. Lilly Jay’s marriage was klablooeyed by Ethan not making an effort to keep Ariana out. He even went so far as to integrate his extramarital love interest into his life with his family and didn’t inform his wife that their relationship was over! This guy, no matter how unknown, is a major a-hole. I hope that LJ can recover and heal and build back stronger.
This is where it starts. If someone gives their boys an excuse to want to assault someone, like her outfit made you want to do it, they are raising future abusers. It’s a simple recipe- if you give a child that kind of pass, and do not raise him to see sexuality & learn to control himself, then you are setting him up for a lifetime of pain, inflicted on others & himself.
He’s so gross inside and out, his poor wife. disappointed in Ariana for pursuing a relationship with this guy.. when I mean just look at him there’s no way she stays with him he’s a troll with stage presence and she will get bored. She has unending options, just because men are willing to destroy their lives for a chance with you doesn’t mean you should encourage it. They are both in the wrong on so many levels I hope they don’t get married just to prove something
I’m sorry, Ari blew up this guy’s life? How about he blew up his own life? This framing is so misogynist, and I am surprised to see that here.
Nope, she is also culpable and she was married too. Feminism does not mean that women can do no wrong. She pretended to be friends w his wife. Maybe your character, or lack of, is ok with that, but most decent human beings aren’t.
While it’s his marriage, and he is 100% responsible for his own actions, AG is a full-grown adult with knowledge of his situation. She’s totally capable of saying that she respectfully won’t be a part of that and that it’s not a good time to explore whatever feelings they think they might have for each other.
I can’t help but wonder if she should shop around a tell all interview- I wonder if the studio would throw some more money her way in the divorce to keep her from doing it. Might be a good way to ensure her and her child are set, since it seems like her ex may have crashed his career.
Title: “My Husband Left Me for Ariana Grande, and All I Got Was this Lousy Book Deal”
Ok, I actually thought the tell all was a good idea, since I do think his career is probably over now, but I about screamed at the title of the book you provided!!
Ethan has made a big mistake here by having an affair, devastating his wife when their baby is so young. I guarantee that the affair with AG won’t last and most likely will be long over before the divorce comes through. Lilly and their child deserve better from Ethan.
He’s deluded, he’s not the exception to her rule. As soon as the day to day drudgery of being together sets in and he has his kid around, she’ll be over it. He has blown up his entire life , his kids life and his soon to be ex’s life for nothing.
There a special place in hell for woman like Ariana who get off on not only sleeping with married man but also befriended the wife . Lily invite this subhuman into her home trusts her husband of 10 years . Ariana one day is going to get what coming to her karma will get her one day Ethan will ended up alone after Ariana is done with him and his reputation will be in the dump .
[preface: it shouldn’t take money or means to have socially acceptable teeth, and dental care shouldn’t be excluded from health care coverage, but once you’re literally in the spotlight for a living, some things are choices]
Someone on Twitter said “I hope his adult teeth grow in soon!” and I can’t un-see it.
I said this before but people mercilessly dragging this guy for his looks will likely end the relationship before Ari gets bored. This isn’t like with Pete Davidson where we could all say “oh he’s tall, he’s charming, he’s funny, he has a big d*ck..” None of us know much about this guy beyond his appearance and the fact that he ditched his wife and newborn for a popstar. But I can’t imagine reading all the comments…I might even feel bad for him if he wasn’t such a callous POS.
This guy is quite the catch. Good for her for not going quietly.
I don’t get Ari’s ethos at all. All her songs sound the same, she wears so much make up it ages her and she dresses about 4 decades older than she is.
This is a tough one.
High school sweethearts….They have a child…Sooo cute….
But he dumped his family for a pop star!
She should set up a strong co-parent plan with him and don’t look back, because blech.
But that’s just not how life works.
My best friend who is an astrologer took a look at their charts and ouffff…..this is not going to end well!
Ariana’s in her saturn return, this whole thing won’t go away or be well for her in the next 2 years. And Ethan is a gemini with cancer moon. This guy has secrets.
In other ways, Ethan is not just a rebound for her. This whole thing is meant to transform Ariana into a more authentic and stable person. This relationship is karmic. And they both, having cancer placements have a good 15 years of scandals and hardship in store. (Probably not together, this will be a short relationship).
Cancer’s saturn/jupiter transit that will effect us all until 2040 is in their 8th house. Sex, death, taxes, addiction, scandals. It’s heavy.
Ethan also have Capricorn north node, which means he’s here to make money. I won’t be surprised if we get a tell-all-book about their relationship or something in a 10-20 years time.
In the end he will come out of this a lot less scarred and hurt than Ariana. Ariana has been arrested by Saturn and everything she does the next 2-2,5 years will be scrutinized. She better get into therapy and start working on her shadow-sides, toxicity, addictions, over all mental health and dysregulations or she is in for a long and painful decades.
Her lilith and her saturn is in pisces so she won’t get away with anything the next few years. All her issues will bubble up to the surface. Even her north node sagittarius is under pressure.
I almost feel bad for her. Almost.
I love this. Please more astrology comments!
I soooo agree! The Saturn Return part is key.
I love this too! I agree with Normades more of this please!
Sharon, how about we blame both the married woman and the married man? They share equally in this. The fact that he has a baby should have made him think. The fact that he has a baby should have made her think. The fact that she hung out with him and his wife adds another entire layer to this situation. What does that say about either of them?
I believe that his wife will ultimately consider herself a very lucky person to have this happen now. I hope she gets help to work through all of the emotion that’s hitting her and is able to move on. I wish her a happy marriage in future. She’ll be the one who makes sure her son is protected and happy.
*Sharon’s comment seems to have disappeared. My answer stands.
I never heard of this guy but he doesn’t look like someone who two women would compete over. He has a face for radio.
What is also sad is there wasn’t even a real competition…Lilly had no idea she had been unwillingly entered into one
Wow, a divorce. Is that enough validation for you Ariana?
He looks like a foot.
He was definitely punching out of his league. I hope wife goes on to have an amazing life without his dumb ass.
My opinion of Ariana Grande is pretty low after reading the amazing book by Jeanette McCurdy. No way this is going to last and this guy is blowing up his life for a cheap, fast affair
The way ariana’s face changes ethinicity with every albums tell me everything about her.
She didnt show her true self to her ‘fans’. It must be really ugly and her ‘pr’ and company must be working really hard to cover them.
My guess is this dude has only slept with one woman (his high school sweetheart now wife) and that Ariana was the pursuer and he’s 100% hooked on her sexual openness
I’m not a fan nor her target audience so I haven’t really followed her life but does anyone know anything about her childhood? Psychology is fascinating and I find we try to soothe a lot of wounds from childhood as an adult. Not always and it’s not an excuse, but it seems to be a pattern with us humans. A Therapist told me once I choose men (not taken ones lol) because they make me feel extra special and I ignore other stuff because that’s how my dad made me feel when I was little and it blew my mind. And I had a happy childhood! I don’t excuse her bevahior, she needs therapy asap but why is this her pattern. It’s a morally bankrupt one.
