So much for “best friend.”
Just a couple of weeks after Ariana Grande confirmed her split from Mac Miller after two years of dating — and described him as one of her “best friends in the whole world” — the “No Tears Left to Cry” songstress is changing her tune.
A fan took to Twitter to comment on Grande’s rumored new relationship with “SNL” star Pete Davidson, opining, “Mac Miller totalling his G wagon and getting a DUI after Ariana Grande dumped him for another dude after he poured his heart out on a ten song album to her called the divine feminine is just the most heartbreaking thing happening in Hollywood.”
Grande, catching wind of the tweet, clapped back and dragged Miller down in the process.
“How absurd that you minimize female self-respect and self-worth by saying someone should stay in a toxic relationship because he wrote an album about them, which btw isn’t the case (just Cinderella is ab me),” Grande responded. “I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be.
“I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety & prayed for his balance for years (and always will of course) but shaming/blaming women for a man’s inability to keep his s–t together is a very major problem,” Grande continued.
The 24-year-old singer then said she’ll “continue to pray from the bottom of my heart that he figures it all out and that any other woman in this position does as well.”
Miller’s team didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Police arrested Miller last week for driving under the influence. Page Six reported that he struck a curb and collided with an electrical pole. Miller and two passengers then fled on foot. It was later reported that his blood-alcohol level was .15. California’s legal limit is .08.
Grande’s reported new boyfriend, Davidson, sobered up for the first time in eight years last year.
“Just wanted to let you guys know I’m okay. I know I’ve kinda been missing, on social media and on the show,” Davidson shared on Instagram in March 2017. “I quit drugs and am happy and sober for the first time in 8 years.”
Davidson’s drug use began when he started smoking marijuana to alleviate the symptoms of Crohn’s disease, an autoimmune disease of the digestive system.
“I got Crohn’s disease when I was 17 or 18, and I found that the medicines that the doctors were prescribing me and seeing all these doctors and trying new things … weed would be the only thing that would help me eat,” he told High Times in September 2016.
