Ariana Grande stepping away from the spotlight over ‘nonstop’ scrutiny for skeletal appearance

Pop star Ariana Grande has decided to “take a step back from visibility” following the end of her ‘Eternal Sunshine’ tour. Grande’s decision to step out of the public limelight has resulted in the singer exiting the West End revival of ‘Sunday in the Park with George’. Scrutiny of her frail appearance partly led to Grande’s decision, with fresh criticism directed at her following the release of her ‘Petal’ music video. Page Six has spoken to several insiders who shed further light on the ‘Wicked’ star’s decision to retreat from the public eye. “She’s been happy performing her recent shows and being back on stage, but she’s been overworked,” the source revealed. “She’s been nonstop, and it’s taking a toll. She’s never handled the public scrutiny well, and constant chatter about her weight [doesn’t help].”
