Trisha Paytas has had it with people hurling comments about others’ physiques amid scrutiny of Ariana Grande.
The media personality took to social media to address the heavy scrutiny making waves around the “God is a Woman” Singer’s body. Internet users have been voicing their concerns about the singer’s intense weight loss and overall health.
Trisha Paytas has been open about her personal medicated weight loss journey. Although faced with nothing close to what Ariana Grande is getting from the media, the actress had a fair share of public critique over her body.
Paytas hopped on her platform to give her two cents on the heavy online attention Grande’s body has been getting lately. Her statement comes after it was announced that the “7 Rings” singer will be stepping away from her part in a West End production of the musical “Sunday in the Park With George.”
The mom of three noted that these days, people on the internet are getting too comfortable talking about bodies, but specifically women’s bodies. The internet sensation acknowledged the pre-existing reality that “fat people or even larger or even like midsize to larger people have always been getting the body shaming.”
However, with the rise in use of medications like GLP-1s and more people switching to the thin side of the spectrum, “body checking” people with smaller physiques has become “more intense.”
Paytas cited the heat that arose as Grande’s “Petal” music video was released, stating that so many people pointed out the singer’s visible collarbones and chest bones. “Is it alarming? Is it shocking? Yes. I don’t know necessarily if we need to be commenting on it as much as we are,” she explained.

She continued airing her thoughts in the Tiktok video as she explained that people are aware of their looks and do not need to be reminded when they step out in public. “It can be really hard to admit there’s a problem to yourself, to the public, to your fans. I assure you, if that person has a problem, they’re aware,” she added.
Paytas cited that people who were thin and get thinner over time, not specifically Grande, are fully aware of their body size and shape. She went on to highlight those struggling with issues like body dysmorphia, saying, “They’re fully aware ’cause it’s all their mind thinks about.”
The mom of three added that commenting on people’s bodies does more harm than good. It does not help in any way and needs to stop. “So many times when people say, ‘Oh, you look sick,’ or ‘We see your bones’… it’s almost like encouraging, enabling that issue, if that makes sense,” Paytas said, noting that the comments may push them more to the problem than the solution.
What Did People Say About Ariana Grande?
Grande has faced scrutiny over her body and looks since her early days as a child star and young entertainer. The comments have seemingly increased over the years, with many of her followers questioning whether the musician is suffering from a condition in silence.
The comments flooded the media once again after her recent hit song’s music video was released. In the video, the Nickelodeon alum appeared super slim, perhaps underweight, with her clavicle and ribs very evident through her outfits, as reported by The Blast. Her face also appeared very thin as she sang the lyrics to “Petal.”
Fans expressed that she looked “deeply unwell,” with some stating that she might be going through a “fatal mental health crisis.” “Bro, this is so sad. She’s one of our generation’s biggest talents, and we’re all just watching her die right in front of our eyes,” a follower wrote. A different internet user echoed a similar sentiment, writing, “This poor woman is fading away before our eyes.”
The ‘Wicked’ Star Is Stepping Away From The Cameras
With the heightened public scrutiny surrounding Grande’s health, looks, and personal life, she has decided that it’s best she stays out of the spotlight till the dust settles. As reported by The Blast, the popstar’s reps have announced that she will be “taking a step back from visibility after she completes the Eternal Sunshine Tour.”
Her rep noted that while she has enjoyed every minute of her ongoing tour, which ends on September 1, and loves her fans so much, the weight of the conversations around her body has taken a toll.
According to the “Wicked” star’s rep, “She looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny.”
Trisha Paytas Previously Detailed Her Weight Loss Journey
Paytas opened up about her decision to turn to the medication-assisted path for her weight loss goals. She explained that she had been struggling to lose weight “the natural way” by going to the gym and controlling her diet, but it was not working out as she intended.
After welcoming three children, Paytas gained about 80 pounds, which proved difficult to get rid of until she tried using a GLP-1, which became a game-changer. The YouTuber shared that since using the “miraculous” medication, she lost 26 pounds in 6 weeks.
As reported by The Blast, the mom of three noted that her weight loss journey was not fueled by public opinion and had nothing to do with seeking others’ approval. Although People often commented on her postpartum body and mocked her weight, Paytas ultimately decided to work on her body for herself.
