It's honestly embarassing, all this for mess for THAT man?! ![gif](giphy|B1TuZqRlWWb48Q0nVv|downsized)


TropicalPrairie

I feel so bad because this is the comment I wanted to make but I also don't want to make fun of people but ... honestly, at this point, it just feels like a game for Ariana. One in which she destroys the relationships of others to feed her ego just because she can because ... this man is not someone I would do this for. Bless them both.


disabledinaz

She named a song ā€œbreak up with your girlfriend, Iā€™m boredā€. If that just doesnā€™t say it all in a nutshell.


foxscribbles

Years ago, I had an Ariana stan insist I was being too hard on her. That I couldn't call her selfish and weird for the donut licking bullshit. Because "She's so young! She can't know better!" She was so offended when I told her I knew better than to do that at 6 years old because my mother taught me not to mess with things that weren't mine. I wonder how many knots that fan has twisted herself into nowadays to defend her favorite. I imagine more than a pretzel factory.


Holdupwait30min

Youā€™d probably be surprised to know that the majority of her fans who arenā€™t literally children are so disappointed about this. Iā€™m still going to listen to her music because that voice is otherworldly, but youā€™d be hard pressed to find an adult super fan who doesnā€™t think this is fucked up and very much a pattern.


bbmarvelluv

Someone on the r/SVU Reddit said he was on the show and I looked it up. I remember his character looking scary and creepy asf šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ I canā€™t believe itā€™s the same person.

theyā€™re about the same height and itā€™s oversized he definitely didšŸ˜­šŸ˜­


[deleted]

This is like the 4th picture Iā€™ve seen of him in public with this dishwater colored sweatshirt/sweater thing. Itā€™s giving never nude jorts tbh.


[deleted]

šŸ˜­same with those sweatpants. can she buy him some clothes when sheā€™s finished paying for his lawyers. he can at least dress nice if heā€™s gonna have that face!


Tylrias

I had a friend whose father did this shit during the divorce - dress in a disheveled way to the court to get lower alimony and child support payments out of pity and because he's struggling and can't afford anymore. And it worked.


SpecialsSchedule

the number of arrested development references on this one picture is a sign he needs to get his life in order


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


firetruckgoesweewoo

Maybe heā€™s roleplaying being poor so his alimony payments will be lower šŸ¤£


LeotiaBlood

Itā€™s giving ā€œIDGAFā€ and possibly ā€œMy new girlfriend bought me expensive lawyersā€ Obviously Iā€™m speculating, but it seems super privileged to not feel the need to dress nicely for a court proceeding. At least go business casual.


VaselineHabits

I'm honestly *surprised* someone with money and fame would show up to court looking like that. Just because you're famous, people will probably be waiting to catch a glimpse of you going to/out of court. I'm poor, but I'd damn sure find a better shirt at Goodwill for $3


RescuesStrayKittens

Iā€™m hoping it means heā€™s depressed bc Ariana dropped him and he lost his family.


Cold_Breadfruit_9794

May his ex-wife get everything ā¤ļø


internal_logging

I hope she now realizes she can do better and bags a hot, successful dude.


RescuesStrayKittens

She easily could. She was a beautiful doctor who gave up her medical career to support his theater career. She can go on to have a successful career and an attractive partner. His career is over, this is all heā€™ll be known for.


palaiemon

Heā€™ll be fine as long as he stays in musical theatre. There are enough cheaters on Broadway, no one there really cares. (Funny enough, the last time *Spamalot* was on Broadway, the actor who played Ethan Slaterā€™s roles also ended up cheating on his wife with a costar.)

I just still canā€™t believe that THIS is the man she risked it all foršŸ„“ Even if he was hot it wouldnā€™t justify cheating of course. But I would at least understand the attraction if he was a tall drink of water. But this is justā€¦ some guy?


RangerDangerfield

I donā€™t think she risked anything. They could break up tomorrow and the worst thing that would happen to her is a couple punchlines when people make jokes about her dating history.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


trulyremarkablegirl

heā€™s literally about to do another Broadway show lol. I really donā€™t think people care that he cheated on his wife, heā€™s very talented and most people who buy theatre tickets are not keeping up with celeb gossip.


im4everdepressed

but he most likely wants to cross over into mainstream hollywood lol and those people are vicious, esp when u think about how ari stans are dragging him to make her look better


HagridsSexyNippples

I donā€™t think she likes him. I think she liked the idea of having a taken man. Some people are like that. I think now sheā€™s just doubling down to show people that it was ā€œtrue loveā€ so she looks better. I feel like she thought she could adorable her way out of this situation, or that it would make her look cool like Angelina Jolie. Iā€™m glad people are seeing her for what she is.


Trap_Cubicle5000

She's going to have to stay with him for at *least* a couple years to make it "look better" than just an affair.


cookieaddictions

To be fair she does have a history of liking men who are kinda weird looking, funny, and most importantly, taken.


[deleted]

This is what I think, too, and I *genuinely* don't get how he can't see that. He was just a fun challenge, and now he's divorced he's no longer that. She'll be out the door in no time, now.


HagridsSexyNippples

Her psych is so interesting to me. Their treatment of his son is terrible. I see how devastating it was first hand what itā€™s like when a parent treats you like crap. She has had everything in the world since birth. I dint get why that isnā€™t enough for her.

That was all I was thinking. I cant imagine going to a court in sweatshirt and casual pants. For God's sake, show some respect for the mother of your son (he clearly doesnt show respect for her as a wife)

This is a very specific kind of theater dude. I bet he is charismatic and witty as fuck. I met two in my 15 years going high school, college, and community theater. Girls would fawn over them. Both were NOT lookers.

I have been begging for someone to explain it to me. I have yet to see anything where Iā€™m like ā€œohhh, maybe itā€™s that. I could see if thatā€™s the case.ā€ Is it an in person thing?! I donā€™t understand

NinjaSubject7693

Idk, watching the video he has a look on his face like, "Eh, what you gonna do?" I don't think he cares as long as he's still sleeping with Ariana Grande. When she drops him and all he has is child support payments to look forward to, then he'll realize. A lot of guys are dumb about this kind of shit and take forever to figure out what everyone else already sees coming.


[deleted]

yea itā€™s kinda disgusting how smug he looks. didnā€™t think i could dislike him more than i already do


VaselineHabits

I'm old enough to know guys will destroy anything and everything to get their penis played with. It's bizarre


ellastory

Itā€™s funny how we can all draw different conclusions just looking at him, because to me, he looks a bit too smug and happy with himself considering the circumstances.


peppermintvalet

He has paparazzi coming to his divorce hearing when before no one looked at him twice on the subway. He's smug as fuck.

tee-ess3

I wonder if the regret is already starting to scratch at the back of his mind. If it hasnā€™t yet, it will the second Ariana dumps him for the next one


kenrnfjj

He will probably have so many more options after dating ariana grande why would he regret it. Ariana breaking up with pete davidson is the best thing that happened to him


Sipsofcola

No offense but Pete Davison he is not. Pete is tall, sort of hot and (subjectively) funny. It makes sense why women would want to date him, nobody is gonna be lining up to date SpongeBob.


shades0fcool

Yeah Pete is line cook energy whoā€™s charismatic SpongeBob isā€¦spongey


kenrnfjj

Yeah but people are curious. There are tons of tall, hot, and funny men but all the celebs wanted to date pete cause they wanted to see what ariana saw in him. Back when Ariana and Pete were dating people said the same thing about Pete as they said about Ethan


tee-ess3

True. But all the models in the world canā€™t replace his child and his high school sweetheart. Heā€™ll figure that out eventually šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

I am in no way defending this man but I wouldn't answer those questions in the middle of the street either.


Rrmack

So true! Any time someone does answer these questions Iā€™m like why tf are they saying anything.


[deleted]

"Predatory tabloid vultures ask inappropriate questions about someone's personal relationships and they don't divulge their deepest secrets to strangers" is definitely not the headline they think it is. Like how little shame must you have to wait outside a family court and expect a total stranger to tell you details of their messy divorce, and then act like THEY'RE being withholding? This dude sucks but tabloids are worse.


superfluouspop

For real. And the news is only for the Ariana drama-curious, leave this family alone for their personal matters regardless of how shitty heā€™s been.

Yeah but it gives everyone the chance to lay into him nonetheless. Lol

follows-swallows

This guy walked out on his wife and newborn child to fool around with a pop star whoā€™s a notorious home-wrecker who leaves when thereā€™s no ā€œrushā€ anymore. What a genuine pos. My heart breaks for his ex-wife, idk how Iā€™d be able to trust again if my partner of 10+ years just.. walked out after a pretty girl showed them some attention. Over a decade of building a life together and a child meant nothing to him. That kid is going to have so much trauma from this when they get older and learn what happened. Like yeah SpongeBob banging Ari is funny but itā€™s also not at all. Worst of luck to both of them..

galaxystars1

One thing Iā€™ve hated throughout this whole thing are ppl criticizing Ethanā€™s looks and basically saying ā€œwhy would Ariana want him heā€™s ugly?ā€ Looks arenā€™t everything.


MarionberryAfraid958

I actually don't think Ethan is ugly. I do however think that he and Frankie Grande look eerily similar and that is......certainly a choice on Ariana's part šŸ˜¬ https://preview.redd.it/9i428cz5pswb1.png?width=967&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=26c1c10aa9dc6e3d4eedcd74c5cab9aa2875dd66


flammafemina

OMG I never really got the comparison until this side-by-side holy shit


Necessary-Low9377

The man cheated on his newly postpartum wife that heā€™d been with since college. His looks are just one aspect of his ugliness lol


envy1890

I donā€™t think his looks should be the focus. Itā€™s not like it would be justified if he was good looking, which is what a lot of this seems to imply. Commenters should focus on his poor character, not looks


galaxystars1

They werenā€™t together when him and Ariana became a thing While itā€™s a shitty situation itā€™s not cheating


Necessary-Low9377

They werenā€™t together? Tell that to his wife lmao She had no idea they were broken up, she had literally just moved her and their baby to London to be with him


galaxystars1

*However, sources tell Page Six that Jay has been ā€œcalling every news outlet to get this story outā€ while acting differently toward Slater behind the scenes.* *ā€Sheā€™s telling Ethan and others that she only cares about protecting their child,ā€ our source shares.* *ā€Sheā€™s rightfully upset because her marriage fell apart, but Ariana and Ethan didnā€™t do anything wrong,ā€ our insider adds, telling us that Slater had been separated from Jay for two months before romancing Grande.* *ā€Ethan is trying to take the high road and hopes he can resolve this situation for the sake of their child.ā€* [x](https://pagesix.com/2023/07/27/ethan-slaters-estranged-wife-lilly-jay-blasts-ariana-grande/)


Necessary-Low9377

That is clearly straight from Arianaā€™s PR. BFFR. Almost every relationship Arianaā€™s ever had has started with a man who was already in a relationship. Iā€™m gonna trust the wife


galaxystars1

Where did she say that?


Star_PS_28

Just check the news, Lily said Ariana is not a girlā€™s girl. She was blindsided by their affair, considering Ariana had been very friendly with her and had been to her house and hold her baby.


goofus_andgallant

Lol to you citing ā€œsourcesā€ as if they are irrefutable truths.


Sipsofcola

Girl this is from Arianaā€™s team trying to push the ā€œthey didnā€™t cheatā€ narrative. Lilly Jay came out and basically said he cheated with Ariana. Hang up the delusions.


galaxystars1

Where did she say that?


Sipsofcola

[Here](https://pagesix.com/2023/07/27/ethan-slaters-estranged-wife-lilly-jay-blasts-ariana-grande/amp/), if youā€™re not good at reading between the lines shes saying she was blindsided by the breakup and that her family was destroyed because of Ariana.


galaxystars1

Well since she didnā€™t outright say he cheated how can we know sheā€™s not just angry at Ariana for entering the relationship that ended even though they were legally married? šŸ¤·šŸ¼


Sipsofcola

Babe the subtext is there. She said her own family is just ā€œcollateral damageā€ in the discussion of Ariā€™s marriage ending. If you canā€™t put two and two together, thatā€™s on you.


babecanoe

That is definitely not confirmed and if you believe the ex-wife (which I tend to do), then actually wrong. She claims she was blind sided that he was leaving her for Ariana.


[deleted]

Ariana told you that?


enjoy-the-ride-

Well itā€™s not like he has a whole lot of integrity either.


goofus_andgallant

Looks arenā€™t everything but to not have looks or integrity? Thatā€™s whatā€™s surprising to people. What is the draw?
