Fans support Ariana Grande amid the homewrecker’s allegations in the Ethan Slater controversy.
Fans of Ariana Grande are supporting the star with the hashtag #ApologiseToAriana. This internet support sprouted amid a storm of “homewrecker” accusations against the singer. Ariana Grande recently found herself in the middle of media scrutiny following her public engagement with actor Ethan Slater, who is currently tangled in an ugly divorce.
People initially excited about the budding romance, suddenly turned critical after details of Slater’s separation emerged.
The controversy
After the release of Grande’s comeback track ‘Yes, And?’, social media wasted no time accusing Ariana as the catalyst for the marital breakdown. The outrage started when the pop star responded to the Ethan Slater backlash in the lyrics of her song. She reacted to the criticism she faced by advising online critics to mind their own business. The lyrics read,
“Say that s–t with your chest, keep moving like, ‘What’s next? Yes, and?’” her song lyrics read. “Your business is yours, and mine is mine, Why do you care so much whose d— I ride?” it goes on.
Fans demand Apology
Now, fans of Ariana Grande are supporting her and demanding that everyone who labelled her “homewrecker” apologise.
A fan wrote, “It’s time to apologize to Ariana Grande. if an entire news outlet had to backtrack and admit that their sources were lying, you know they aren’t reliable. stop believing everything you read on the internet, especially when there’s NO concrete evidence.”
Another wrote, “So if Lily hadn’t said anything y’all would still be calling this woman a homewrecker??????? get well soon …… You all need help. also, she and/or Ethan could’ve said something months ago and avoided this shit. “

Relationship of Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater
Love Cupid hit Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater while filming ‘WICKED’. Their on-screen chemistry soon turned real. Sources claim Slater’s separation from his wife, Lilly Jay, predated his romance with Grande by two months. Jay publicly condemned the singer shortly after the divorce filing. This contrasting timeline fueled rumours and controversy, casting Grande as a ‘homewrecker’ despite the lack of definitive evidence.
Earlier, ahead of announcing her comeback track, Ariana reacted on social media and addressed the relationship and backlash drama surrounding her. She said, “I have never felt more pride, joy, or love while simultaneously feeling so deeply misunderstood by people who don’t know me, who piece whisper together and make what they want out of me and their assumptions of my life.”
