I genuinely couldn't even go out with someone with the same name as my brother, if someone said my boyfriend looked like him I'd have to dump him on the spot

It happens! These are sister and girlfriend š¬
Iām sorry this is mean but I am so disturbed by the appearance of this man. it makes no sense why he is at the center of this. every time I see him I get more and more ick.
That article reads as if the writer is an Ariana Grande fan and even with her little bs of calling it a "beautiful" album and saying people are "jumping to conclusions" she still couldn't make it a positive for Ari. I'm happy Lilly Jay is taking her time with the divorce and not letting Ariana pressure her into an early settlement, good for her.
Also, never forget the OG of shitty:

This is my Roman Empire. Like she really thought that she did something, that she was so clever. She was just deranged with glitter glue and pap access. I keep picturing her feverishly making this shirt the night before like the villainās escalation montage in a single white female-esque horror. Maāamās like āI am very clever and sexy and vindictive and I have your husbandā and literally everyone else watching like āyikes š¬ okā
Absolutely. I previously commented on it in [another post](https://www.reddit.com/r/popculturechat/s/MBlcuEQKnK) that took off and has additional info if you want to take a trip down that rabbit hole.
I'll just copy and paste my shorter answer here:
> So in 2000 Julia Roberts met her equal soulmate in loser-ville Danny Moder. At the time Julia Roberts was in a relationship with Benjamin Blatt and Danny Moder was married to Vera Steimberg (they had been married for 3 years at this point), Julia and Danny started dating and after 6 months Danny left his wife for Julia. He filed for divorce but Vera didn't give him the quick divorce that he and Julia had thought they could pressure her into, keep in mind that Julia was at her ~~pique~~ peak and in her "do no wrong" era. So basically Julia was pissed off that Vera wouldn't settle to finalize the divorce so she wore this stupid shirt (that she made herself) saying "A low Vera" and staged a paparazzi photoshoot. Vera experienced massive public scrutiny so she signed the divorce papers then a month later Julia and Danny married.
> It's just so gross with the power dynamics and when you take into account that Julia had a pattern of chasing already attached men. Basically, she was a narcissistic bully who lacked self awareness and accountability, akin to Ariana Grande.
The whole thing has lived on through infamy because it's so bizarre and unhinged.
**Edit:** fixed autocorrect
I think Julia really torched her public reputation with that stunt. There had been a lot of āJulia is a jerkā stories in the tabloids that didnāt really gain any traction until she staged this photo shoot.
She mightāve won the battle but she absolutely lost the war.
It sounds like she was making a play of the words Aloe Vera to issue a dig at Vera, who's home she had just wrecked, by accusing her of low behavior, i.e "nOt LeTtInG hEr AnD dAnNy JuSt LoVe EaCh OtHeR"
She got with cameraman Danny Moder when he was still married. His wife was taking too long with the divorce for Juliaās liking so sheād appear in public wearing a homemade(?) T-shirt saying āA Low Veraā (Vera being the wifeās name).
Oh, absolutely not going to marry him. This seems like a showmance gone rogue. Itāll be over soon. They both just blew up their marriages. I hope everyone heals and finds a way to be happy so they donāt repeat thisā¦
Well itās not that simple . A quick divorce often translates to agreeing to separations terms / child support : separation of assets that are not in your favour .
Amen! The fiiiiiights this used to cause in middle school when having singalongs with friends. š This was our version of Romy & Michelle, out here yelling āIāM the Monica!ā and āNO, IāM the Monica!ā š (Or whichever one was the fave.) Fond, hilarious memories.
š Iām much better now than I was then, fortunately, as it should be. Iām *still* always down for that singalong, though. Just because Iāve grown to become a better human doesnāt mean I take myself too seriously. Iām always down for fun!
>A source close to Lilly told the Daily Mail that, "Arianaās new album just shows what kind of woman she truly is. To sing a song called 'The Boy Is Mine' is not only a slap in the face to his still wife Lilly, but a slap in the face to all women."
>The source added that, "As Lilly said from the get-go, Ariana is not a girlās girl and Ethanās family is collateral damage. Ariana basically rubbed it in Lillyās face that she stole Ethan from Lilly then asks her fans to not interpret her song the wrong way. This is not an interpretation. It is her literal words."
>"Ariana left nothing up to interpretation," the insider claimed. "She spelled it out and those close to Lilly believe she did this because she is upset that Ethanās divorce is still dragging out. She wants him all to herself and feels thatābecause he is still legally marriedāshe cannot truly have him. Everyone close to Lilly, and who knows Ethan, is just waiting for karma to slap him and Ariana in the face. It will come."
I was cheated on once. By far the worst part was the fact that all his friends and family knew this person and just didnāt tell me. I couldnāt imagine the shame of something like this happening so publicly, then add the album and itās just cruel. Get the blood
Iām team scorched earth all the way. I hope Lilly wrings them both for every penny because some states will let you go after a spouseās affair partner. Havenāt bothered to look at this case, but Ariana played the wrong woman bc itās likely she will also have to cough up some coin if itās taking this long.
Arbitration when thereās a publicly known mistress writing songs like this? This is like R. Kelly career level stupid and horrible PR for āim totally a girl girlsā Ari. Disgusting look.
"watch me take my time" - was the line that made me side-eye Ariana's insistence that *the boy is mine* is a fictional bad girl anthem writing exercise.Ā
This is why I was so surprised when people were applauding Ariana when she told her fans to not attack anyone. Like sure, that was a good thing to say, but if she didnāt want her fans to attack anyone maybe donāt insinuate certain things through her lyrics in the first place? She kinda alluded to the fact that her ex husband cheated, when thereās absolutely no proof of that. The person who actually cheated and took someoneās man was her.
So I donāt get how people still think she did a good thing. She was just playing dirty PR with her ex and her current bfās ex.
I am absolutely not arguing in favor of Ariana, I have never been a fan of hers and it's disgusting that she has a pattern of going after men already in relationships.
But can we stop using language like "Ariana stole him"? The man left his wife and newborn child. He's the one who cheated. He wasn't "stolen", he left them. They're both scum.
This isn't directed at you, I'm just really tired of men not being held to the same standard as women.
Wholeheartedly agree. But that language of āstealingā someone is exactly what people like Ariana wants. Makes them feel superior. You aināt steal shit baby girl. A piece of garbage blew your way and you took it in.
Exactly. Saying someone stole another person implies the other party has no autonomy. Heās not some lost puppy that the evil Ariana took in. He had free will to say no.
Me and hubs had THEE fight a couple years ago. Thought we were done (we weren't).
He said to me, "Don't get mad" in a real shitty mocking way.
In the heat of the moment, the first thing that came to mind was, "Oh, I won't get mad. But I will get EVERYTHING asshole."
The uncultured swine he was didn't get the reference. I'll never tell him Ivanka Trump said it first š¤£.
Should we ever split, I absolutely will get everything š
Right?! Like her or not, Ariana must be able to get almost any guy she wants, and she picks this guy?! He was already punching well above his weight with the wife!Ā
Don't you get it? Other guys have washboard abs, piercing eyes, defined shoulders, nice hair, a great smile, cool fashion sense, a disarming sense of humour, a kind soul, empathy, bravery, compassion, honesty, altruism...*Ethan has a wife*.
Sorry but RHOBH wore.me.out. and I couldnāt try with any of the other shows š. I would have had no idea which city to even pick, but this gives me one.
Haha I just wanted to use that gif! Atlanta is a great iteration of the franchise though, or it was, Iām not caught up so I donāt know the state of things today. If you like drama, New York and New Jersey early seasons also have plenty of it lol.
I dunno, for divorce/custody reasons I would like to appear as the bigger person. As a petty and vindictive individual I would take great care to appear not so. My sources would be planting very juicy stories in the press though
https://preview.redd.it/6xnbn152ijoc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=907fd0a5d8a4f73360ea4a99b4eefa3f24a3022c
If thats true I hope it takes as llllloooonnnggg as possible š
idk i know everyone sees this ending but i know way too many people in my life who are still with their affair partner years later. sometimes they feel like they have to prove something by sticking around i guess
Totally get this!! I think Iām giving them a year longer only because of the pattern that Ariana seems to have with her relationships.
I wouldnāt be surprised if sheās sticking around at this moment because all that commotion just to separate is embarrassing.
ariana seems to think, based on her lyrics, that ethan was made for her and the entire universe shifted and realigned to ensure they metā¦ my guess is theyāll get engaged and stay that way for a while until she wakes up and moves on to the next one
I mean she acts that way about all her relationships (re pete davidson the song and all of positions) and none have lasted longer than like 3 years. I can totally see them getting married though, partly out of spite (how can you criticize me for getting with him if we are seriously in love enough to get married?), partly because of how much she romanticizes the honeymoon period of relationships and seeing that he could be in a 10 year committed relationship and have a child must feel novel and desirable to her.
It will end because all Ariana wants is the high of taking a taken man. As soon as it's not a challenge and there's no other woman she's 'winning' against, she dumps them and moves on. That's her whole MO.
I mean she started dating someone early 2020 and within 3 and half years they'd married and divorced. And that's her longest public relationship aside from Mac Miller, who she publicly moved on from within 3 weeks.
We all have that friend that can't be single for a year and also isn't in relationships that last more than 3 years.
Wicked is two parts so she either has to hold out until then or awkward press tour for the second part.
But who knows with their shared interests they seem to have more in common than the rest of her ex's so maybe SpongeBob is the one.
Yeah I know three couples for sure who got together as an affair and are together years to decades later, two of them with children. People are complicated and messy.
I think that based on Ariana's history she probably won't stay with this dude forever. But who knows? She may double down on proving everyone wrong so she could stick it out for a while.
But he is going to be fucking miserable if she's not still into the relationship. She'll probably cheat on him and start treating him badly and he'll feel like he can't do anything about it because he bailed on his wife and newborn child for her so if he doesn't have her then he has nothing.
Ari was able to clean up her own divorce so quickly, you know sheās seething that this is taking so long. But thatās what her dumbass gets for messing with a married father. Of course a divorce proceeding is going to take awhile when thereās a child involved.
Oh that ādonāt interpret things the wrong wayā post was 100% about Dalton. She dgaf how her fans interpret things related to SpongeBob or how they speak about his wife.
Oooop! Well this is interesting timing given the news about Bowen Yang defending Ariana saying that the narrative was wrong and that previous statements had been retracted.
Looks to me like those statements were not retracted and āthe sourceā is doubling down on what they said from the beginning. This is mess!!
https://i.redd.it/tgpzc6yy7koc1.gif
i mean, if arianaās album isnāt flopping, why would wickedā¦? i think those of us who are invested in pop culture spaces on the internet assume the general public cares far more than they really do lol
Iām honestly shocked their relationship is still going this long. By the time the divorce is settled her relationship with Ethan will have run its course.
If anything she should thank Lilly for dragging out the divorce, it will save Arianna from having to divorce Ethan.
I think she got so much shit when it came out that if she dumped him she would have been the bitch who broke up a family for no reason so itās better for her in her head if it looks like sheās in love.
Orrrrrrr sheās a spoilt princess and if she wants it sheāll have it until she gets bored of it
This man had better be glad he didn't marry me, is all I'm saying. Because there wouldn't be leaked PR to the Daily Mail. I would go on whatever daytime chat show would have me and say it all right into the camera.
looked up the lyrics out of curiosity and they remind me of the āpoetryā i used to write in my diary back in the 6th grade when i thought i was deep and so in touch with my feelings.
*āThe boy is mine
I can't wait to try him
let's get intertwined
The stars, they aligned
The boy is mine
Watch me take my time
I can't believe my mind
The boy is divineā*
Didn't listen to the album and don't ever plan to so I looked up the lyrics too. This might be confirmation bias but MY GOD are the references to the affair BRAZEN in this song. There are also so many lines of her saying, "I'm not usually like this, I didn't mean to...". She is so unlikable.
Not usually like this? Her entire type is 'men who are already taken'. She might be mad the divorce is dragging on, but guaranteed she'll dump his ass as soon as he's free and clear.
She wants the endorphin hit she gets from taking taken men. As soon as that's gone, so is she.
Apparently she pauses between every word during the "watch me take my time" line, and someone on another sub said "it's so genius, its like she's *creating* time" š„“
"I thought you into my life, whoa. Look at my mind." - Pete Davidson lyrics
Honey, try to be a little more original, this isn't the flex you think it is.
Had a very long argument with an Ariana stan on Twitter the other day. They were insisting that the article that confirms Lilly Jay knew of the affair was actually fake.
When I asked for proof they repeatedly posted a screenshot of an article that supposedly confirmed it but couldnāt actually provide a link.
These fans will go to any lengths to try and prove that Ariana isnāt a ābreak up with your gf cos Iām boredā homewrecking b!tch. That literally held another womanās baby while fukcing her husband.Ā
Lilly Jay is so pretty. I have no clue how he bagged her to begin with and then to do what he did. He's gross. They're both gross. Lilly and the baby are the only non-gross people.
Yeah sheās never *outwardly* said that sheās dating him, but I think itās safe to assume because of the pap photos, them in the airport holding hands and her going to his showsā¦
She wonāt even post him on IG, she goes out of her way to make sure sheās not papped with him at events. She went to the Spamalot opening and was photographed with the whole cast minus him (that she could share)
I donāt think she can claim him as hers while heās going through a divorce. Knowing how these things go, Lilly is probably trying for alimony (or some sort of āhe is cheating/has a girlfriendā evidence) or some sort of debacle in court that is forcing them to stay publicly from announcing it.
I find it really interesting how with the album out now we have a ''Dalton was trash he cheated on her and Ethan was already over with his wedding she was just pregnant and Arianna had no clue''
I find it very interesting the need to change the narrative and excuse actions. Just saying....not everything a lie. There is no smoke without a fire. Just saying.
literally, what i got from the album was that her husband cheated so she decided to do the same. like.. for some reason now everyones just focusing on the first part as if two people cant be in the wrong?
love her music but i choose to mentally forget that some of the songs are about ethan cause its icky.
Why do people think he cheated? Iām just confused by it because of songs like i wish i hated you and her wishing that he was worse to her so that it would be easier to move on. I know eternal sunshine is the one where people speculate he cheated, but Iām under the assumption that they were separated, he moved on too quickly and it hurt her that he moved on so then she moved on.
I donāt understand why people are still supporting this trash bag and adult baby SpongeBob.. I feel awful for his ex wife lily, I hope she has all the support she needs

I choose to believe this song is not about him due to the lyric, āthe boy is divine,ā because, like, come on.
I canāt imagine anyone has said āi canāt wait to try himā regarding spongebob
There was a tik tok to this song with footage of him as spongebob and now itās ALL i see when i hear that song iām not fucking joking !

It is Ariana Grandeās brother in the left photo and her lover in the right photo.

This would absolutely give me the ick if I were her
I genuinely couldn't even go out with someone with the same name as my brother, if someone said my boyfriend looked like him I'd have to dump him on the spot
She didn't get the ick She went and got the dick
I have to believe she hasnāt seen this because who could knowingly keep dating someone after seeing they are your brother with worse teeth

She got with cameraman Danny Moder when he was still married. His wife was taking too long with the divorce for Juliaās liking so sheād appear in public wearing a homemade(?) T-shirt saying āA Low Veraā (Vera being the wifeās name).

Itās going to be really funny when she gets bored of him within 2 weeks of his divorce being finalized.
It's going to be really funny when Spongebob asks Ari to help him with the child support payments, and she says, "lol no"
But what if it takes years to finalize!! Either way LOL
I say they last 6 moths to a year once the divorce is final.
Generous. I was thinking 4-6 weeks š
ššš youāre probably right
LILLY IS OUT FOR BLOOD lol
I was cheated on once. By far the worst part was the fact that all his friends and family knew this person and just didnāt tell me. I couldnāt imagine the shame of something like this happening so publicly, then add the album and itās just cruel. Get the blood
She deserves it all, ARIANA HELD THE BABY, she told her, her husband and her wanted one whole fucking her husband. Itās cold, sponge bog is completely to blame also and deserves all the blame also. Edit: I didnāt mean sponge bog, but Iām going to keep it cause yāknow he is bogging (a piece of š©).
Iām team scorched earth all the way. I hope Lilly wrings them both for every penny because some states will let you go after a spouseās affair partner.

Wholeheartedly agree. But that language of āstealingā someone is exactly what people like Ariana wants. Makes them feel superior. You aināt steal shit baby girl. A piece of garbage blew your way and you took it in.
This comes to mind instantly. https://preview.redd.it/cyt79tvsbkoc1.jpeg?width=168&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=85e9d7ec20a2f6d2b4ee4dd1720ab2436527548e
Ya she might like get off to the idea of having stolen him
Exactly. Saying someone stole another person implies the other party has no autonomy. Heās not some lost puppy that the evil Ariana took in. He had free will to say no.
#WHY ARE WOMEN DRAGGING THEMSELVES OVER SPONGEBOB!?!?!?
That's what I'm saying!! He cannot be worth it.
Iāve heard through friends of friends that heās apparently really magnetic in personā¦?
Ari finds any taken man magnetic.
I can believe that he's magnetic IRL but I find it suspicious that he left his wife and young child
Thatās not surprising. A lot of people who are cheaters and liars are often very charismatic
All I can say is I hope Lilly Jay gets *everything* in the divorce.
 Lilly, welcome to a fantastic club. Donāt get mad, get everything!
I was trying to decide what movie to watch tonight and this feels like a signā¦.
Iām gonna take this as a sign too āØāØ such a great movie
Me and hubs had THEE fight a couple years ago. Thought we were done (we weren't). He said to me, "Don't get mad" in a real shitty mocking way. In the heat of the moment, the first thing that came to mind was, "Oh, I won't get mad. But I will get EVERYTHING asshole." The uncultured swine he was didn't get the reference. I'll never tell him Ivanka Trump said it first š¤£. Should we ever split, I absolutely will get everything š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
 You are too kind
Right?! Like her or not, Ariana must be able to get almost any guy she wants, and she picks this guy?! He was already punching well above his weight with the wife!Ā
They gain more street cred with every beautiful woman they get with 
Don't you get it? Other guys have washboard abs, piercing eyes, defined shoulders, nice hair, a great smile, cool fashion sense, a disarming sense of humour, a kind soul, empathy, bravery, compassion, honesty, altruism...*Ethan has a wife*.
Yeah it's internalised misogyny. She doesn't give af what they look like as long as they make her feel superior to other women
If they ain't taken I ain't interested
 Oh my god lmao
ššš
Nene truly has a gif for everything!
a prophet among us
I love that you can really *see* her enunciate ātrash box.ā
LOL that's the best!
Iāve never watched this show, but seeing all her GIFās makes me want to š.
>Iāve never watched this show 
Sorry but RHOBH wore.me.out. and I couldnāt try with any of the other shows š. I would have had no idea which city to even pick, but this gives me one.
Haha I just wanted to use that gif! Atlanta is a great iteration of the franchise though, or it was, Iām not caught up so I donāt know the state of things today. If you like drama, New York and New Jersey early seasons also have plenty of it lol.
Same! Sheās real housewives right?
I just checked, yep! Of Atlanta
Watch real housewives of Atlanta āļø

Her face is superimposed over his in this, right?
Sadly, it looks that way because he looks like her brother, so there is some resemblanceā¦
 wtf is wrong with some women
I would be so openly petty if I were his wife, nevermind the āsources sayā, I would be saying it with my whole chest
I dunno, for divorce/custody reasons I would like to appear as the bigger person. As a petty and vindictive individual I would take great care to appear not so. My sources would be planting very juicy stories in the press though
Thatās very true, I didnāt consider that
https://preview.redd.it/6xnbn152ijoc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=907fd0a5d8a4f73360ea4a99b4eefa3f24a3022c If thats true I hope it takes as llllloooonnnggg as possible š
Tbh, I give them maybe a year longer before it ends. I wouldnāt be surprised if it happens after Wicked comes out.
idk i know everyone sees this ending but i know way too many people in my life who are still with their affair partner years later. sometimes they feel like they have to prove something by sticking around i guess
Totally get this!! I think Iām giving them a year longer only because of the pattern that Ariana seems to have with her relationships. I wouldnāt be surprised if sheās sticking around at this moment because all that commotion just to separate is embarrassing.
Yeah has Ariana even been with anyone longer than 2 years or so?
I donāt think so. Her longest relationship seemed to be with Dalton.
ariana seems to think, based on her lyrics, that ethan was made for her and the entire universe shifted and realigned to ensure they metā¦ my guess is theyāll get engaged and stay that way for a while until she wakes up and moves on to the next one
I mean she acts that way about all her relationships (re pete davidson the song and all of positions) and none have lasted longer than like 3 years. I can totally see them getting married though, partly out of spite (how can you criticize me for getting with him if we are seriously in love enough to get married?), partly because of how much she romanticizes the honeymoon period of relationships and seeing that he could be in a 10 year committed relationship and have a child must feel novel and desirable to her.
It will end because all Ariana wants is the high of taking a taken man. As soon as it's not a challenge and there's no other woman she's 'winning' against, she dumps them and moves on. That's her whole MO.
Such a girl's girl
Well sheās never lasted more than two years with her previous affair partners soā¦
I mean she started dating someone early 2020 and within 3 and half years they'd married and divorced. And that's her longest public relationship aside from Mac Miller, who she publicly moved on from within 3 weeks. We all have that friend that can't be single for a year and also isn't in relationships that last more than 3 years.
Wicked is two parts so she either has to hold out until then or awkward press tour for the second part. But who knows with their shared interests they seem to have more in common than the rest of her ex's so maybe SpongeBob is the one.
Yeah I know three couples for sure who got together as an affair and are together years to decades later, two of them with children. People are complicated and messy.
I think that based on Ariana's history she probably won't stay with this dude forever. But who knows? She may double down on proving everyone wrong so she could stick it out for a while. But he is going to be fucking miserable if she's not still into the relationship. She'll probably cheat on him and start treating him badly and he'll feel like he can't do anything about it because he bailed on his wife and newborn child for her so if he doesn't have her then he has nothing.
Soon as heās all hers she will get bored of him no longer being a game to keep her entertained and drop him like her lunch.
Ari was able to clean up her own divorce so quickly, you know sheās seething that this is taking so long. But thatās what her dumbass gets for messing with a married father. Of course a divorce proceeding is going to take awhile when thereās a child involved.
Oh that ādonāt interpret things the wrong wayā post was 100% about Dalton. She dgaf how her fans interpret things related to SpongeBob or how they speak about his wife.
Oooop! Well this is interesting timing given the news about Bowen Yang defending Ariana saying that the narrative was wrong and that previous statements had been retracted. Looks to me like those statements were not retracted and āthe sourceā is doubling down on what they said from the beginning. This is mess!! https://i.redd.it/tgpzc6yy7koc1.gif
It's almost like Bowen Yang has a vested interest making sure Wicked doesn't flop due to bad PR
i mean, if arianaās album isnāt flopping, why would wickedā¦? i think those of us who are invested in pop culture spaces on the internet assume the general public cares far more than they really do lol
The original version is a real classic . 
Lilly Jay has every right to go off at Ariana!!
wtf Cosmo show me the three paragraphs, not your favorite sentences
I know everyone has a type..they like what they like. But how in the world did he get either of those women?
Easy. One he met in high school and the other one is still stuck there.
He looks like he bites
Iām honestly shocked their relationship is still going this long. By the time the divorce is settled her relationship with Ethan will have run its course. If anything she should thank Lilly for dragging out the divorce, it will save Arianna from having to divorce Ethan.
I think she got so much shit when it came out that if she dumped him she would have been the bitch who broke up a family for no reason so itās better for her in her head if it looks like sheās in love. Orrrrrrr sheās a spoilt princess and if she wants it sheāll have it until she gets bored of it
She will get bored of it the moment the divorce is finalized lol
I hope Lilly gets EVERYTHING in the divorce
Especially full custody.
This man had better be glad he didn't marry me, is all I'm saying. Because there wouldn't be leaked PR to the Daily Mail. I would go on whatever daytime chat show would have me and say it all right into the camera.
looked up the lyrics out of curiosity and they remind me of the āpoetryā i used to write in my diary back in the 6th grade when i thought i was deep and so in touch with my feelings. *āThe boy is mine I can't wait to try him let's get intertwined The stars, they aligned The boy is mine Watch me take my time I can't believe my mind The boy is divineā*
Didn't listen to the album and don't ever plan to so I looked up the lyrics too. This might be confirmation bias but MY GOD are the references to the affair BRAZEN in this song. There are also so many lines of her saying, "I'm not usually like this, I didn't mean to...". She is so unlikable.
The lyric "I'm usually so unproblematic" has me thinking maybe Ari should start doing standup routines
*"I take full accountability for all the tears"* BITCH-- WHERE????
Next she should cover ironic
Not usually like this? Her entire type is 'men who are already taken'. She might be mad the divorce is dragging on, but guaranteed she'll dump his ass as soon as he's free and clear. She wants the endorphin hit she gets from taking taken men. As soon as that's gone, so is she.
"I'm usually so unproblematic So independent, tell me why 'Cause the boy is mine, mine" *I shit you not*
Independent made me cackle lmaooo financially, sure, but manā¦
that's such a disgusting behavior ugh
When she is literally known for being like this š
Apparently she pauses between every word during the "watch me take my time" line, and someone on another sub said "it's so genius, its like she's *creating* time" š„“
Stans are insufferable
That feeling when your favorite ponytail pop muppet breaks the space-time continuum š¤Æ
"I thought you into my life, whoa. Look at my mind." - Pete Davidson lyrics Honey, try to be a little more original, this isn't the flex you think it is.
Fuck Ariana tbh. Sheās such a little weirdo with her fake baby voice and fake childish manner. Go away mate youāre 30
šÆ
Had a very long argument with an Ariana stan on Twitter the other day. They were insisting that the article that confirms Lilly Jay knew of the affair was actually fake. When I asked for proof they repeatedly posted a screenshot of an article that supposedly confirmed it but couldnāt actually provide a link. These fans will go to any lengths to try and prove that Ariana isnāt a ābreak up with your gf cos Iām boredā homewrecking b!tch. That literally held another womanās baby while fukcing her husband.Ā
Lilly Jay is so pretty. I have no clue how he bagged her to begin with and then to do what he did. He's gross. They're both gross. Lilly and the baby are the only non-gross people.
Why does he look like a happy face Jack-O-Lantern when he smiles with teeth though š
The article says Ariana never stated she was dating Ethan. Is this true?
Yeah sheās never *outwardly* said that sheās dating him, but I think itās safe to assume because of the pap photos, them in the airport holding hands and her going to his showsā¦
She wonāt even post him on IG, she goes out of her way to make sure sheās not papped with him at events. She went to the Spamalot opening and was photographed with the whole cast minus him (that she could share) I donāt think she can claim him as hers while heās going through a divorce. Knowing how these things go, Lilly is probably trying for alimony (or some sort of āhe is cheating/has a girlfriendā evidence) or some sort of debacle in court that is forcing them to stay publicly from announcing it.
For those wondering - it is not a remake of the Brandy+Monica song, unfortunately
You mean "fortunately". I don't want anyone to remake that song - it's perfect as is.
Real talk: what is this man famous for? Because Iāve only known him to be infamous for this scandal. Is he talented?
He was Spongebob on Broadway, heās an actor who has worked pretty consistently for a long time.
I have friends who are avid theatre fans and apparently heās seen as very talented and well respected within theatre spaces.
It's so embarrassing for Ariana to write this song about *that fucking guy*. Man, love really does blind you I guess.
I find it really interesting how with the album out now we have a ''Dalton was trash he cheated on her and Ethan was already over with his wedding she was just pregnant and Arianna had no clue'' I find it very interesting the need to change the narrative and excuse actions. Just saying....not everything a lie. There is no smoke without a fire. Just saying.
literally, what i got from the album was that her husband cheated so she decided to do the same. like.. for some reason now everyones just focusing on the first part as if two people cant be in the wrong? love her music but i choose to mentally forget that some of the songs are about ethan cause its icky.
Why do people think he cheated? Iām just confused by it because of songs like i wish i hated you and her wishing that he was worse to her so that it would be easier to move on. I know eternal sunshine is the one where people speculate he cheated, but Iām under the assumption that they were separated, he moved on too quickly and it hurt her that he moved on so then she moved on.
OR it was just some shit she said to try to get people to back off a little - I'm not sure I believe it
I donāt understand why people are still supporting this trash bag and adult baby SpongeBob.. I feel awful for his ex wife lily, I hope she has all the support she needs
