The release of the Petal video was immediately received with widespread concern regarding Ariana Grande’s health and general well-being. It became something of a media event and went viral, and every news outlet had a word to say about it.
This is where one comes to a disturbing realization: The “showcase” of Ariana Grande’s skeletal physique in her music video was fully intended. Even worse: It was part of the “marketing strategy.” Even worse: It was part of her tenure as an industry slave.
In order to understand what is currently happening with Ariana Grande, we have to recognize one important fact: She’s been an industry slave since she was a child. She was raised and molded by it, and nearly everything that happens in her life, career, and even her relationships is the result of people in the shadows pulling some strings.
Ariana Grande rose to prominence as Cat Valentine in Nickelodeon’s series Victorious. Since then, she’s been doing the one-eye sign regularly to salute those who own her.
The promotion of her new album featured unmistakable one-eye signs. The message: She’s still an industry slave. Maybe more than ever.
While Ariana built her career on a cute, innocent vibe, a look back at her life reveals an astonishing number of dark and disturbing events that result from being an industry pawn.
