Ariana Grande Says Mac Miller Relationship Was 'Toxic'
Ariana Grande is setting the record straight.
On Wednesday, May 23, 2018, the "No Tears Left To Cry" singer took to Twitter to respond to a fan's recent comments on her previous relationship with rapper Mac Miller. In a lengthy statement, Grande referred to the former couple's romance as "toxic."
On Monday, May 21, the fan in question had tweeted, "Mac Miller totaling 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."
In response, Grande wrote, "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)."
"I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be," she continued. "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."
The pop star added, "Let's please stop doing that. of course I didn't share about how hard or scary it was while it was happening but it was. I will 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."
As Nicki Swift previously reported, Grande, 24, and Miller, 26, called it quits earlier this month after nearly two years of dating. The "Break Free" singer later took to social media to address their split, which was initially said to have been caused by their busy work schedules. Calling Miller one of her "best friends" and "favorite people on the planet," she wrote, "I respect him and adore him endlessly and am grateful to have him in my life in any form, at all times regardless of how our relationship changes or what the universe holds for each of us!"
Miller was arrested and charged with an alleged DUI last week after crashing his 2016 G-Wagon into a power pole in California's San Fernando Valley. He reportedly fled the scene. After the news broke, Grande tweeted, "pls take care of yourself." The "Side to Side" hitmaker has since been romantically linked with Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson.
