In a show of solidarity with pop sensation Ariana Grande, fans have taken to social media to demand an apology from the internet over the treatment she has faced in response to her relationship with Ethan Slater.
The 30-year-old “Into You” singer found herself under the scrutiny of online speculation following her romantic involvement with Slater, her co-star in the musical “Wicked,” shortly after news surfaced about her split from Dalton Gomez.
Slater, who filed for divorce from his wife Lilly Jay around the same time, added fuel to the rumor mill.
Accusations of infidelity and negative commentary on their relationship spread across various online platforms, prompting Ariana Grande to express feeling “deeply misunderstood” throughout 2023.
She addressed the criticism directly in her new single, “yes, and?”
Recently, an article posted by Page Six with the headline branding Ariana a “homewrecker” fueled further backlash.

Fans quickly mobilized on social media, launching the hashtag #ApologizeToAriana, urging people to reconsider their judgments and highlighting a reported lack of concrete evidence supporting the claims against Grande.
Social media users shared screenshots from an earlier version of the article that allegedly stated there was “no evidence” linking Ariana to the breakup of Ethan and Lilly. Fans emphasized the need to question the validity of online information and urged a more empathetic approach.
“It’s time to apologize to Ariana Grande,” wrote one fan, calling on others to “stop believing everything you read on the internet, especially when there’s NO concrete evidence.” Another fan noted the irony of some individuals criticizing Ariana while engaging in similar behavior in their personal lives.
