Ariana Grande Defends Breakup With Mac Miller, Says Relationship Was ‘Toxic’
Ariana Grande claps back at a fan blaming her for leaving Mac Miller in his time of need. The hit singer isn't holding back, either.
It's All Your Fault
Earlier this week, news circulated that the pop star is quietly dating Saturday Night Live staffer Pete Davidson, after splitting from Miller.
A fan tweeted in support of Miller, who was involved in a car crash and was arrested for drunk driving in the days following his breakup from Grande. The rapper reportedly had a blood alcohol content of almost twice the legal limit.
"Mac Miller totalling his G wagon and getting a DUI after Ariana Grande dumped him for another dude after he poured his heart out on a ten song album to her called the divine feminine is just the most heartbreaking thing happening in Hollywood," wrote the fan in question.
That Is Not My Job
A couple of days later, Grande responded to the tweet. The singer, a vocal feminist, is not shy about calling people out for treating women badly.
The "No Tears Left To Cry" hit-maker described the fan's response to the breakup as completely absurd.
"[You] minimize female self-respect and self-worth by saying someone should stay in a toxic relationship because he wrote an album about them," she began, pointing out that only one of the songs in question was about her.
Grande also pointed another fact about her relationship with Miller.
"I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be. I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety & prayed for his balance for years (and always will of course) but shaming/blaming women for a man's inability to keep his s*** together is a very major problem. Let's please stop doing that."
Keeping Things Cordial
The pop star, who initially wrote on Instagram that she would always support Miller no matter what as he's one of her closest friends, acknowledged that she wants the best for him.
Grande promised that she would continue to pray for Miller and that she supports any other woman in a similar position.
In a shocking turn of events rarely seen in online discourse, the original poster responded with an apology to Grande. The singer replied to thank him for hearing her out and to wish him the best.
A Busy Time For Her
On May 10, several sourced confirmed that Grande and Miller were no longer a couple due to their busy work schedules. Just six days later, Miller crashed his car into a utility pole in the San Fernando Valley and fled the scene. Authorities arrested the rapper at his home for a DUI and a hit-and-run.
On Monday, sources revealed that Grande was casually seeing comedian Davidson, after meeting him back in 2016 when she hosted the show.
The singer has had a busy week overall, opening the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday and commemorating the Manchester Arena bombings on Tuesday. Grande posted tributes on social media for the victims struck during one of her shows.
