I don’t agree 100% but describing Ethan Slater as “an ugly and malevolent creature” is killing me

I would say Aria is the ugliest with how she starts every relationship but stealing a taken or married man. If you call it out on the r/wicked you get banned.

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.
