Ariana Grande Says How She Portrays Herself in Music Videos Is 'Not An Invitation For Disrespect'
Ariana Grande is speaking out after receiving backlash for posting a note about feeling disrespected by a fan.
The 23-year-old singer explained that she felt objectified when a fan told her boyfriend Mac Miller that she was “sexy as hell” and congratulated him on “hitting that.”
Many people responded blaming Ariana for the fan’s comments because of how she portrayals herself in music videos but she had a lot to say in response!
“seeing a lot of ‘but look how you portray yourself in videos and in your music! you’re so sexual!’…i repeat expressing sexuality in art is not an invitation for disrespect!!! just like wearing a short skirt is not asking for assault,” she wrote in a series of tweets.
Ariana added, “You are literally saying that if we look a certain way, we are yours to take. But we are not!!! It’s our right to express ourselves.”
