The "Girl's Girl" Dilemma: Ariana Grande's Controversy

(03/07/25 1:40pm)

Award-winning musical, Wicked, was a beautifully encapsulated story of female friendship and reclaiming power. Starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, the film hit theaters November 2024, selling out tickets globally. Because of its overwhelmingly positive reaction from the audience, many have forgotten about what happened backstage with Grande and Ethan Slater, her co-star. To recap- Grande divorced her husband, Dalton, while filming Wicked. Months later, Ethan divorces with his wife, in July 2023. After this, consistent rumors speculate over the 2023-2024 years, reports of spotting the two at candlelit dinners or broadway shows.

It touches the hearts of audiences around the globe, shining a light on real, pressing issues like addiction, abuse, and the dangers of social media— but with that outreach comes huge responsibility.
