If you’ve been keeping up with the Wicked: For Good press tour, you may have come across a video that shows Ariana Grande tearing up because an interviewer asked her thoughts on a rumor that she only eats 3 eggs a day. This video is fake, but that didn’t stop it from going viral. In this article, we’ll explain where the rumor came from, debunk it, and share what Ariana has said about the topic.

Does Ariana Grande only eat 3 eggs a day?

No, this is a false, harmful rumor that has gone viral online. A fake video supposedly shows Ariana Grande tearing up after an interviewer asks her about the rumor that she only eats 3 eggs a day. This is an edited video, and the real interviewer asked about her friendship with Cynthia Erivo.

  1. While the exact origins of the rumor are unknown, it went viral after @MattWallace888 posted a video on X that supposedly shows the singer breaking down in tears after an interviewer asks her about the rumor. This is a fake video, and there is no evidence that supports the claim, but some people may believe it because there has been a lot of discussion about Ariana Grande’s weight.
    • The post’s caption reads, “You can clearly tell by her reaction (and appearance) that there is at least some truth to it. The abuse in Hollywood is on such an extreme level that this almost feels normal somehow. IT ISN’T. Everyone involved needs to be investigated immediately.”
    • Not only does this post make false claims about Grande’s diet, but it falsely implies that someone is forcing her to eat this way.

Debunking the Rumor

  1. The video is actually a clip from the 2024 Wicked press tour. In the real video, the interviewer, Jake Hamilton, asked Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo about their friendship and how it’s changed them. Ariana is emotional about their relationship—not her diet. The fake video was stitched with an original, fabricated audio. There is no information to suggest that she actually only eats 3 eggs a day.
    • Remember, it’s very easy for people to edit or create fake videos, especially with the rise of AI. Always do your research before believing what you see or read online, especially if the rumors are harmful.

Why are fans concerned about Ariana Grande?

  1. The singer’s weight has been under scrutiny since the Wicked press tour began.[1] People immediately noticed she looked skinnier than usual, and because of rumors that she had suffered from an eating disorder for years, they grew concerned about her health. However, these rumors are unverified.
    • While some fans are genuinely concerned about the singer’s health, other people seem to spread these harmful rumors just because they can.
    • Remember, commenting on someone’s weight, no matter your intentions, can be harmful, especially if they are suffering from an eating disorder. Celebrities are people, too, so think before you speak (or post).

What Ariana Has Said

  1. However, she recently reshared a clip from 2024 that states that comments about her body are “not welcome.”[2] Supposedly, anonymous members of her family have stated that she has been struggling after the Wicked press tour and that she’s troubled by people commenting on how skinny she is. Since Ariana Grande herself has not commented, however, we don’t know whether this is true.
    • Grande also spoke to web series Oui Oui Baguette, stating, “In today’s society, there is a comfortability that we shouldn’t have at all—commenting on others’ looks, appearance, what they think is going on behind the scenes, or health or how they present themselves… That, I think, is really dangerous.”[3]
