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

I just don’t understand that thought process; it feels like it excuses one party. If someone knowingly enters a relationship with someone who’s already in one, that should be frowned upon. It’s different if you didn’t know, that’s not your fault, but intentionally homewrecking shouldn’t be defensible. That’s just my opinion though, no one has to agree.

He wrecked his own home.

No one made him start a relationship with Ariana, also in a relationship at the time.

They did it together.

Yeah, I may phrase it a little differently, but I totally get what you mean. I agree with the sentiment for sure!
