Heartless.

It’s been a turbulent year for Ariana Grande, with plenty of highs and incredibly lows ensuring her name has not been far from the headlines. She’s also faced harsh criticism from many online, especially over her relationship with ex-boyfriend Mac Miller. The singer has been a target of online trolls for months, with many placing the blame of his drug addiction and ultimately his death at her feet. Since Mac’s death, Ariana has posted a number of times about her ex-boyfriend, sharing videos from their time together and spoke lovingly about him in her latest song Thank U, Next. However, Ariana is now being accused of ‘milking’ the rappers death, something she didn’t let slide for a moment. Commenting on a throwback picture Ariana shared alongside Mac, one follower cruelly wrote:

“She milkin [sic] this shit”.

In the same way she’s dealt with the majority of the hate over the last year, Ariana responded with:

“I pray you never have to deal with anything like this ever and I’m sending you peace and love.”

i pray you never have to deal with anything like this ever and i’m sending you peace and love.

However, the comment seems to have cut deep with the 25-year-old returning to Twitter a short while later to respond to the cruel narrative.

“Some of the shit I read on here makes me sick to my stomach. It scares me the way some people think and I don’t like this world a lot of the time. “If only we could be more compassionate and gentle with one another. That’d be sick. “Everything I feel is valid and safe. Everything I do is genuine and honest. There is no right or wrong during this period.”

Ariana and Mac were together for two years before splitting up in May of this year. Mac Miller passed away in September.
