Ariana Grande, 31, Exposed for Why She Looks Unhealthily Thin After a Recent Viral Photo of Her Seeing and Signing a Fan’s Old Meet-and-Greet Picture at the EE BAFTAs Sparks Concern — Not Only Is She on a Vegan Diet, She’s Also Addicted to…

Pop sensation and actress Ariana Grande, now 31, has become the center of internet buzz after a viral photo of her at the 2025 EE BAFTAs ignited concern over her noticeably thin appearance.
The image, which shows Grande graciously signing an old meet-and-greet photo handed to her by a devoted fan, has sparked a flurry of online speculation and wellness concerns from both fans and media outlets.
The photo, which quickly circulated on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, shows a visibly emotional Ariana reflecting on her earlier years while holding a photo from over a decade ago.
But what stood out most was not the sentimental moment — it was her starkly slimmer frame.
Within hours, hashtags like #ArianaGrande and #IsSheOkay began trending, prompting fans to express their worries. Some pointed out her visibly smaller frame compared to her earlier years in the spotlight.
Sources Close to the Star Speak Out
According to a source close to the singer, Grande’s weight loss is attributed primarily to a strict vegan diet she has been following since her early twenties. However, insiders suggest there may be more to the story.
“She’s always been committed to clean eating and avoiding animal products,” the insider shared. “But in recent months, she’s also developed a serious addiction — not to drugs or alcohol, but to intense daily workouts and caffeine.”
The source claims Grande has been relying on multiple daily cups of coffee and matcha, sometimes skipping meals altogether due to her packed schedule.
“She has a very demanding filming and recording routine,” they added, referencing her current work on Wicked and an upcoming album. “She’ll sometimes go hours without eating, just surviving on espresso.”
Ariana Addresses the Concerns — Kind Of
While Grande has not directly responded to the speculation, she did post a cryptic Instagram Story the day after the viral photo surfaced.
The story featured a black-and-white quote reading: “Be kind — people are fighting silent battles you know nothing about.”
Fans took this as a subtle acknowledgment of the chatter surrounding her appearance.
Experts Weigh In
Nutritionist Clara Denning weighed in on the situation, warning that even plant-based diets can lead to malnutrition if not properly managed.
“Being vegan is healthy if done correctly, but with intense physical demands and inadequate calorie intake, it can lead to significant weight loss and even muscle deterioration,” Denning said.
“Pair that with caffeine dependency and you have a recipe for exhaustion and visible changes in body composition.”
Public Divided
While many fans are voicing concern, others are defending the star’s right to look however she chooses.
“She looks beautiful and happy,” one fan tweeted. “People need to stop body-shaming thin women the same way they do curvy women.”
Still, the incident has reignited conversations around celebrity image, wellness, and the impact of public scrutiny.
As for Ariana, she remains focused on her music, her role in Wicked, and continuing to connect with fans — just like the one who unknowingly sparked this firestorm with a single photo.
