艾丽亚娜·格兰德发布新专辑《Petal》及其配套音乐视频后，再次在社交媒体上掀起关于身体形象和美女标准的广泛讨论[1]。这位33岁的歌手因视频中明显的骨骼结构特征而遭到身体评论[1]。格兰德的代表向《People》杂志透露，她计划在巡演结束后因"无休止的公众审视"而退出公众生活[1]。
格兰德多次表示反对对他人身体进行评价。她在周一晚间从舞台向粉丝发表声明，称"多件事可以同时为真。需要设定界限。人类有时需要休息"[1]。国家饮食失调联盟创始人兼首席执行官约翰娜·坎德尔呼吁进行自我反思，指出"检查我们背后的意图。目的是什么？意图与影响的区别是什么？"[1]纽约大学格罗斯曼医学院心理学家瑞秋·高德曼指出，"评论某人的外表（无论是恭维还是批评）会强化我们的价值与外表相关联的观念"[1]。
Ariana Grande's latest music video and album "Petal" have reignited public conversation about body commentary and beauty expectations [1]. The 33-year-old singer faced renewed scrutiny over her physical appearance following the video's release, with observers noting her prominent bone structure [1]. Grande has consistently pushed back against such discussions, emphasizing her opposition to body judgment of any kind [1].
The new album's visual content addresses themes of judgment and the harsh realities of fame [1]. According to her representative, Grande told People magazine that she plans to step away from public life after her tour concludes due to "relentless public scrutiny" [1]. During a Monday evening stage appearance, Grande addressed her fans directly, stating: "Multiple things can be true at the same time. Boundaries need to be set. Humans sometimes need rest" [1].
Experts have called for a shift away from appearance-focused commentary. Johanna Kandel, founder and CEO of the National Eating Disorders Association, emphasized the importance of examining underlying intentions: "Check the intention behind it. What's the purpose? What's the difference between intention and impact?" [1]. Rachel Goldman, a psychologist at New York University's Grossman School of Medicine, cautioned that commenting on someone's appearance—whether complimentary or critical—reinforces the notion that human worth is tied to physical looks [1].
