I'm not sure. If it is I'm sorry any that was irresponsible of me to post. Who tf is editing them? People are freaks

More specifically though I was getting a bunch of videos of her new tour, nothing specifically about her body, and I was shocked at how skeletal she looks under the lighting   I'm just hoping she can get help before it's too late. I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm legitimately anxious about it. People are bringing up Karen Carpenter who died from an ED and it scares me because if she's this weak on tour.. her heart... anyway lets not think about it

I've seen a lot of photos of her edited to make her appear much thinner and extremely skeletal. Mostly on places like Twitter, but no surprise there. 

As far as lighting goes, it's a gamechanger. The lighting alone can make you look amazing or absolutely horrible. I think everyone who has seen themselves under unflattering lighting, and from unflattering angles, would agree, myself included.  

Now from the clips I've seen, she appears to be very energetic on stage and her voice is in immaculate condition. She doesn't seem to be weak at all.  With that being said, I think it's only natural for us as fans to be concerned when it comes to this kind of stuff. We do care about her wellbeing, and I'm sure a majority of people have noticed she's changed, but It's not our place to pass judgement as it could (potentially) make things worse. I'd like to believe she's got a good support group around her and that she's doing okay.

I've got to say, though, having an ED is compatible and consistent with being "very energetic" and so on. I don't wanna go into details as I'd hate to sound insensitive, but these people know a lot of tricks in order to not seem weak for specific events and then stay exhausted in private after that. Not my personal opinion; I've studied it as a social worker

That's a good observation. Unfortunately however, we'll probably never get confirmation as to whether or not she's struggling with one, not that she owes anyone an explanation. Maybe sometime in the future she'll speak on it (again)  For now I think the discussion can only be based purely on speculation.

Karen Carpenter all over again.

Although I think its not good at all and she looks unhealthy, I remember i loved it when people said I looked dangerously skinny and you can see my bones. So i dont think we should talk much about it. I am now basocally recovered from my eating disorder and way too fat lol. Although extreme weight gain can also be eating disorder but whatever. 😂👍🏻

“She does not look healthy” is already a subjective statement. What does a “healthy person” supposed to look like? Someone with a deadly sickness might seem fine, too 

You're right, not every body can be labeled as healthy or unhealthy only based on looks, but looks are not really excluded from the conversation just because underlying conditions exist.

 A healthy person doesn’t look how she looks. She is clearly underweight for a woman her height and age. Why you acting oblivious

well this whole discourse reminds me of how much people talked about Lizzo’s “unhealthy obese” look. Was Lizzo unhealthy? Maybe! Should the public be so much concerned? I don’t think so. I think it’s a private matter - we’ll never know details of Ariana’s diets, lifestyle, health issues etc. Her family and close friends possibly should be concerned, but we’re here are not them lol

Lizzo doesn’t look like she’s about to die tho

Why are we assuming an ED develops to its hard core within months or a year? Again, not saying it's her case, but these go on and on for several years til people start noticing

[StrawberryBlond 15,459]

Its been an open secret that she's had an ED for years and it's clearly reached a new peak. It shouldn't be deemed insensitive to point out the obvious when it's a very unhealthy situation and you're coming from a place of concern. Not calling this stuff out for what it is only makes these EDs worse. It's not that long ago that she was making video saying that she was at her unhealthiest when she was called healthy and that we shouldn't talk about people's bodies. This is a very common response from ED sufferers - deflecting from their illness and re-framing it as we're the ones with the problem. The Eugenia Cooney situation is even weirder. I've heard from former ED sufferers who have said odd things about how she should be handled and I actually can't even remember what they said now, but it amounted to a big load of nothing and basically that we have to sit back and let her waste away. Bizarre. 

Ariana needs an intervention and I don't think that should be an issue with an adult when they're doing this to themselves. Yes, forcing an adult to do something they don't want to do isn't ideal but you can't condone it and sit idly by as they destroy themselves. Indeed, whoever suggested that she tours and puts out a new album does not have her best interests at heart.

im not saying she has ED tho?

Im saying she naturally has a protruding ribcage that gets more visible under certain lights and weight fluctuations.
