Ariana’s comments reflected what she’d previously said about the hoopla surrounding her relationship with Ethan, saying in a Feb. 2024 episode of The Zach Sang Show that society tends to “selectively remember that this is what the tabloids do to people, especially women, based on whether or not we like the person.”
“We selectively remember that,” she said. “We selectively leave space for humanness, for nuance. Like, they don’t leave space for that—well, they do for their friends and their family. It’s selective. But they turn it off when that aligns with the version of a person that they have in their head that they want to believe is true.”
Ariana added, “I feel like we don’t need to go into any specifics. But of course, there’s an insatiable frustration, inexplicable, hellish feeling with watching people misunderstand the people you love, and you and anything.”
