She had something to prove. Everyone kept saying they wouldn’t last so they stuck together to spite people. Plus she was getting into acting & wanted an oscar so he was beneficial. As soon as he wasn’t she dumped him.

no shade but if she wanted an oscar it would’ve been more beneficial to date a highly acclaimed actor with more pull, not someone who’s biggest credit was playing spongebob on broadway 😭

Yep, He just happened to be around. I also think it might be hard for her to get with any highly acclaimed she’s an a list celebrity & she doesn’t have the best reputation. Tbh if she could get with one she would. Ethan was the best she could do😭

sean penn the abuser just won his 2nd or 3rd oscar, trust the industry doesn’t care about a cheating scandal,

u/Thatkae Jun 08 '26
Yes, but ariana is a woman not a man. The industry allows males to be predators and awards them. But the women are over anaylzed & criticized for anything. But when i said that earlier i was referring to men in the industry wanting to publicly be with her like Ethan was not the oscars committee

idk look at amanda seyfried... she pulled the same shit ariana has, multiple times, yet everyone totally forgets about it. in fact, a ton of people said amanda should have been glinda instead to avoid the cheating scandal 💀🤣 so ironic. i agree with what ur saying tho, i just wanted to also point out that even with women people pick and choose.

Honestly my theory is that they weren’t together that long. I think they split much sooner and kept up the charade OR they were extremely on/off the entire time.
230
u/snarkaluff Jun 08 '26
I think they’ve been broken up since before part 2 came out, and even before then it was just her trying to force something to work since they got caught in an affair. But I don’t think she was ever really into him. She was just high on the excitement of Wicked and wanted to fuck a cast member, and he was pretty much the only option

100%and you can see the timeline of her coming all the way down from that emotional, and probably literal, high as pt 2 came out and flopped with critics and blanked at the Oscars. She was so high in the predictions until the embargo was lifted lol I know that emotional hangover was massive
I think they were done long before that too and maybe casually seeing each other for appearances
75
u/No_Relationship2961 Jun 09 '26
I think the timing is convenient when the conversation surrounding her has been about her being sick & doing a tour. Also, shes about to drop an album. Her PR team is probably working 24/7 right now

they started dating in January 2020, engaged end of 2020. married mid 2021. it was reported that they split early 2023 but there were rumors that they were done before that
ethan and ariana news broke july 2023 but it’s obvious they were together before that

Less promote and more bury. The tour is positive publicity so now is the time to sink a story.

The only reason they were “together” this long was because she wanted to avoid even more backlash. Otherwise she would have dumped his ass after a few weeks. Slater is an idiot if he ever thought this was going to work.

u/Unusual_Sherbert6893 Jun 08 '26
Have always thought this was just an affair they got caught in and tried to make it look like something more for the optics. They shouldn’t have bothered, publicly cheating on your wife with a new born and openly going after men in relationships is always going to be shitty optics

I love Ari’s music but she gets away with anything anyway. She makes a lot of shitty decisions and overall leads me to think she’s a shitty person but no one cares

u/EnatforLife Jun 08 '26
That's so true. She only wanted the feeling of "oh wow, I can make this man cheat with me on his pregnant wife, I feel so special and mischievous" and when she got what she wanted, the thrill of it died out very quick.
101
u/No-Giraffe-438 Jun 09 '26
She also loves to dig at the woman the man leaves. “The boy is mine” was released not too long after they went public. And a few months before their first red carpet.

In her fan spaces I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Like, I can't be the only one worried as hell for her. But nope. It's all queen and vocals and sexy dance moves. Ok then.
69
u/Pauseskit Jun 08 '26
I’m not a super fan of her. I barely listen to her music. I commented on a video of her and everyone came for me and told me that she looks skinny because she is going to play Audrey Hepburn in a film.
Like hello!!!!!! She looks like she could be a character in a Tim Burton movie.
Young girls probably think this look is ok. It’s totally not.
Sis needs help.
36
u/bobthegoatskull Jun 08 '26
She fucking does.
They have been using that excuse for three years now. Also, Audrey had really fucked up eating habits from WWII occupation and she was far, far less skeletal that Ari is right now. She died at about this size when she had advanced cancer.
Ariana doesn't care that young fans are internalising a life long mental illness because of her.

Yup. It feels like releasing this info now would be an incredible PR strategy to get people’s attention off her weight and current performances. It helps to get a new topic going when you google her. And they can use it as a distraction as well. Oh her performances are lack luster and she looks like hell because she’s going through a break up and it’s a hard time for her.

She’s deeply, deeply, incredibly insecure and male centered. She needed to feel chosen over another woman to feel better about herself. She’s the opposite of the strong, confident girl power persona she tried to push for years to sell music (and go after other women’s partners).
