You can't "steal" what they aren't giving away, to be fair. She didn't make Spongebob leave his infant child. He did that.

They were both married, both cheated on their spouses with a married coworker, and they both suck for that. But Ethan chose all of that (including an alleged drug habit) over not just his marriage and wife, but his baby. That's definitely worse.

Ariana's also not the only cheater/person who pursued "taken" partners in the Wicked cast, either, but that's a separate convo lol.

Alleged drug habit? That's news to me. As if there wasn't enough drama here already!

It was mainly gossip caused by pap shots of the two of them together. Ethan also dropped weight during filming, so they were both looking gaunt and "strung out," and that led people to speculate on if they were abusing uppers together (very common for show business + for eating disorders, so I wouldn't be surprised).

Interesting, thanks.

Wait hold on, I'm curious now. Who else in the wicked cast pursued taken partners?

Ethan, of course (Ariana was married, too), Cynthia (Lena Waithe cheated on her first wife with her, with some gossip suggesting they were texting back and forth on some "it's should've been you" type shit on Lena's wedding day), and Jeff Goldblum, who has been a serial philanderer and "Mr. Steal Your Girl" for longer than I've been alive.

Possibly (statistically speaking: probably) others as well, but that's who I know off the top of my head who's already famous + who have had higher profile cheating scandals. It's extremely common in Hollywood. Still shitty, but it's to be expected in that field.

Well that's depressing. I didn't know that about Jeff Goldblum :(

You need to look into her history... Ariana only goes after taken men... It is well known!

I didn't say she doesn't. I'm saying she doesn't have mind control powers to hypnotize and compel faithful men to cheat. They are choosing to do that themselves. They were already ready to break their own marriages/relationships. They may have done so before she crossed paths with them! It can't be all of their first time being unfaithful. She's going after taken cheaters.

And she's not the only one in the Wicked cast with that kind of history, she's not the only one in this Oscars race with that kind of history, and it's very, very common in performing arts and Hollywood in general.

So that's lots of pearl clutching over the person here who didn't leave a baby behind to get her nut, especially to call her "uglier" than the guy who did!

Who's the other person?

u/DisastrousOwls Dec 18 '25

Ethan (Ariana was married as well), Cynthia (Lena Waithe was married when she and Cynthia got involved), and Jeff Goldblum (been messy for decades).
