In an age where media sensationalism often rules, celebrities are standing strong and supporting each other. Enter Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande, whose friendship recently made headlines for all the right reasons.
- Dec 6, 2024
AceShowbiz - Selena Gomez showed unwavering support for fellow artist Ariana Grande amidst a swirl of tabloid-fueled gossip regarding Ariana's personal life. In a poignant move, Gomez took to Instagram to back Ariana's frank discussion about the nature of media speculation surrounding her relationship with "Wicked" co-star Ethan Slater.
Ariana, addressing the relentless gossip in a recent Vanity Fair interview, didn't mince words when she called out "disreputable evil tabloids" for their role in perpetuating false narratives about her and Ethan.
She emphatically stated, "There couldn't be a less accurate depiction of a human being than the one that the tabloids spread about him." This came after both Ariana and Ethan had separated from their respective spouses before beginning their relationship.
Selena's response was straightforward yet powerful. Her comment on the post quoting Ariana was laden with five clapping emojis and a resounding "AMEN."
Reflecting on her experiences, Ariana shared how tabloid culture has targeted her since her teenage years, causing significant strains on her relationship with fame. "Honestly, it's taken me a lot of hard work to be able to last this long and to heal certain parts of my relationship to fame and to what I do," she said.
Despite the challenges, Ariana remains resilient, "I'm 31 years old and I'm not a perfect person, but I am definitely deeply good, and I'm proud of who I'm becoming."
Her commendation for Ethan Slater was heartfelt and unwavering. Describing him as someone with the "best heart" and an individual who goes above and beyond for his loved ones, she firmly defended his character against tabloid distortions, "There is no one on this earth with a better heart, and that is something that no bulls**t tabloid can rewrite in real life."
This camaraderie between Selena and Ariana is more than celebrity solidarity - it's a testament to the importance of standing up for what is right and supporting friends through thick and thin. The powerful exchange underscores a notable shift as more celebrities take control of their narratives, challenging the toxic tabloid culture that distorts their lives for profit.
