Ariana Grande Still Doesn't Want You to Talk About Her Body

"I have heard it all. I've heard every version of it, of what's wrong with me," she said. "And then you fix it, and then it's wrong for different reasons." As co-star Cynthia Erivo nodded supportively, Grande suggested that the "comfortability" people have with speaking about others' looks is "really dangerous" for all parties involved, adding that the "pressure of that noise" has been present since she was 17 but is no longer "welcome" in her life.

My Mom Tortured Me - And Made My Brothers Her Enforcers. Years Later, I Finally Discovered Why.

As the headlights swept across the driveway, I saw her standing there - stiff and stern, her body rigid with rage. One hand clutched our dog's leash, the other gripped a glass of water and was trembling slightly - not from fear, but from fury held barely in check. Her jaw was so tight, it looked like it might snap. Brightly lit by the car lights, she hurled the water in my face before I could even say hello.

Dear Abby: I'm the same size I've always been, and my in-laws need to shut up about it

I am a 66-year-old woman, married with two daughters. I am 5-foot-2 and weigh 108 pounds. This is not something new. But whenever there is a gathering with my in-laws, at least one of them says I need to put meat on my bones in those exact words. I think it's rude and offensive. I am certainly not telling any of them to take meat off their bones. I cannot help my size, metabolism or genetics, and I am tired of the comments.

Every time, I jokingly make a bet with my husband on how long she will last before making a rude comment about how much weight I've gained. She said I was fat when I was in great shape. She said I was fat when I was carrying baby weight from giving her two perfect grandchildren. Before we visited her last summer, I worked hard and lost some weight.
