Is Ariana Grande Sick? Photos Showing Her New Skin Tone Fuel Bleaching and Health Conspiracy Theories

Ariana Grande is known for her powerful vocals, catchy pop songs and iconic ponytail. But recently, some fans have been more concerned about her appearance than her music. The reason? Her skin tone.

Is Ariana Grande Sick or Skin Bleaching?

In her latest photos, Ariana Grande showed off her new blonde hair, which she dyed for her upcoming movie. However, what caught many people’s attention was how pale her skin looked compared to her previous pictures. Some even wondered if she was sick or suffering from a health issue.

Some fans speculated that Ariana Grande might be bleaching her skin, a controversial practice that involves using chemicals or natural remedies to lighten one’s complexion. Others suggested that she might have been using excessive tanning or makeup in the past to make herself look more Latina, a term that refers to people of Latin American origin or descent.

Ariana Grande is of Italian descent, and is a white woman. However, she has faced accusations of trying to pass off as someone with a darker skin tone or a different ethnicity before. This is also known as blackfishing or brownfishing, where a white influencer uses false color, hair or features to profit off as a black or brown individual.

The Controversial History of Ariana Grande’s Skin Tone and Alleged Cultural Appropriation

For example, in 2019, Ariana Grande received backlash for her Vogue cover, where she appeared to have a much deeper tan than usual. Some people accused Vogue of darkening her skin to make her look black, while others defended her by saying that she has olive skin and naturally curly hair because of her Italian heritage. Some conspiracy theorists believe that if she is naturally “olive” skinned, than her new skin tone could be the result of using a weak powered skin bleaching regimen.

Another controversy arose when Ariana Grande released her song “7 Rings” in 2019, which sampled the melody of “My Favorite Things” from The Sound of Music. Some critics claimed that she was appropriating black culture by using trap beats, rapping and wearing braids in the music video. She also faced criticism for using a “blaccent”, a term that describes when a non-black person adopts the speech patterns or slang of black people.

Some fans also noted that Ariana Grande might still be influenced by Asian culture, especially Japanese anime and manga, which she has expressed interest in before. They suggested that her pale skin and blonde hair might be inspired by some of her favorite characters, such as Sailor Moon or Chihiro from Spirited Away. In the past social media also accused her of getting Asian plastic surgery in South Korea to look like a famous actor from the Squid Game show. Take a look at the new photos, and people’s reactions.

Social Media Reactions to Ariana Grande’s New Pale Skin Tone

Here is her old skin tone compared to the new one. Is there a drastic difference?

Whether Ariana Grande is sick, bleaching, cutting back on tanning, or just experimenting with her appearance, one thing is clear: she has sparked a lot of discussion and debate among her fans and critics. Some people think that she is appropriating or commodifying ethnic features, while others think that she is expressing herself creatively or innocently.
