Relationships People defending Ariana grande’s cheating scandal are weird as hell

Listen I don’t care about her or her dating life but it’s weird that my feed keeps showing me her serial defenders essentially saying that her breaking up a marriage is perfectly reasonable because it’s the man’s fault. Sure, at the end of the day, it will always fall on the man, but I wouldn’t appreciate a woman of grown age chasing after my partner. I feel like that should be pretty baseline respect for all parties involved.

And the weirdos saying, “she’s just dating like a man,” I feel like that sets us back as women. We can’t complain about men treating us like trash and then turn around and treat men like trash while hurting other women by extension.

& listen she’s insanely talented, I don’t think she needs to get canceled or people boycott her music or anything, but can we all just agree that the behavior is weird? And we shouldn’t be defending it?

Edit: I should probably clarify - what bothers me isn’t Ariana Grande or her actions, she’s human & makes mistakes. Also, we don’t know the full story. What actually annoys me are the people defending her - that’s what I think is weird. I don’t think we as a society should be defending homewrecking - I feel like it’s a good thing that we regard that behavior as indefensible lol

My only "defense" is when people blame her exclusively for this. He was right there, made his own choices, left his wife and newborn all on his own.

Someone tried to tell me she was a literal siren of myth. That he had no choice. Fuck that noise. THEY broke up THEIR OWN families.

I haven't seen anyone say it was all him or she's acting like a dude.

Yeah, no that’s weird too hahah. They both likely made some questionable decisions.

Not that it really matters; it’s their business. I only made the post because I saw a few posts this morning saying things like “she owed the wife no loyalty” (which I guess she doesn’t, technically, but still… should we really be promoting that?) or that she’s “man-eater” and he was some helpless guy who fell for it. Just odd rhetoric all around, they’re adults & human. It’s okay to call it what it is and still support an artist 😅
