Jimmy Fallon Praised For Not Commenting On Ariana Grande's Appearance Despite Her Weight Loss Scandal (2024)

More and more, late-night hosts have been criticized for talking about a celebrity guest's appearance. Especially when they wear something revealing, such as what happened when Anya Taylor Joy wore a bondage dress on Stephen Colbert's show. But when a star goes through a major physical transformation, late-night hosts have an even harder time not mentioning their looks. Yet Jimmy Fallon impressed all when he totally avoided talking about Ariana Grande's changed face and body, despite the major scandal surrounding it.

This article will reveal how Jimmy Fallon avoided talking about the musicsuperstar's weight change when she came on his talk show to promote Wicked and her album "Eternal Sunshine. Following that we will delve into the weight loss scandal that's been sparked by the insanely wealthy star's radically different appearance in 2024.

Jimmy Fallon Never Mentioned Ariana Grande's Changed Appearance During Her Interview

Fans were pleased with Jimmy Fallon after he didn't bring up Ariana Grande's physical transformation on his June 6th, 2024 show, as proven by comments on YouTube and social media.

As expected, the conversation between Ariana Grande and Jimmy Fallon was riveting to their fans who are already well aware of their chemistry. Grande has appeared on The Tonight Show numerous times and even did a music video together for "Masked Christmas". Because of this, the pair have built up quite a personal report. This may be one of the reasons Fallon opted not to speak about how drastically different Ariana Grande looks now than just a couple of years ago.

Many believe that Grande's troubling physical transformation may have coincided with her role as Glinda in Wicked. But instead of talking about that aspect, Fallon and Grande discussed how difficult the shot for Wicked was.

During the June 6th, 2024 interview, Jimmy Fallon also asked Ariana Grande about her relationship with Kristin Chenoweth, who played the original Glinda The Good in the Broadway show, "Wicked". Following this, Fallon asked about Grande's outlandishly successful March 2024 album, "Eternal Sunshine". She also discussed the music video for her hit single, "The Boy Is Mine", which stars Penn Badgley. The entire time, Fallon praised Grande's musical skill. So much so that Grande remarked, "Are you my mo or my publicist?"

Unsurprisingly, the comment section on the Tonight Show YouTube clip was filled with people criticizing Grande's appearance. However, many also stated how "beautiful" she looked and how natural she appeared during interviews. Most just genuinely adore her. And it's clear that Fallon is among them, as pointed out by one fan who said the following:

Fans online were clearly thrilled with Jimmy Fallon for not mentioning Ariana Grande's weight change. But in the YouTube comment section, they also noticed how he totally avoided her affair scandal.

Unlike what many other late-night talk show hosts might have done, Jimmy Fallon chose to protect Ariana Grande. Instead, he focused on her career accomplishments and built on the positive relationship they have.

As another YouTube commenter named @rachelmariecovers stated:

"I have always loved Jimmy's interviews more than anyone's they are like best friends and Jimmy always speaks so kindly of her and to her and you can tell he genuinely loves having a conversation with her and he's like such a fangirl! love this era so much <3 so special"

What Is Going On With Ariana Grande's Weight?

Ariana Grande's health and well-being was questioned for the first time in the beginning of 2023. This was after Grande stepped out in public looking noticeably skinnier than she had previously. Most notable was her more defined cheeks, which lost the circular shape that she was once known for. The body and face transformation was alarming to many fans as it seemed both abrupt and out of character for the "Positions" singer.

However, Grande's appearance also received online bullying. So much so that the superstar took to TikTok to explain herself. She started her TikTok monologue by saying, "I think we should be gentler and less comfortable commenting on people’s bodies no matter what."

After claiming she believes everyone should try and keep people "safer" when it comes to their relationship with their body and weight, Grande addressed her own struggle. The "Love Me Harder" singer stated that the body that her fans had become accustomed to was actually "unhealthy" when compared to her much skinnier frame now. This is due to her dependence on antidepressants while consuming alcohol and eating a "poor" diet.

She continued to admit, “I was on a lot of antidepressants and drinking on them and eating poorly and at the lowest point of my life when I looked the way you consider my healthy. But that in fact wasn’t my healthy."

Grande went on to say that she "shouldn't have to explain" herself but admitted that the public scrutiny had become so severe that she couldn't avoid it.

“Even if you are coming from a loving place and a caring place, that person probably is working on it or has a support system that they are working on it with. So, be gentle with each other and with yourselves.”

More than a year later, Grande has maintained the same body. While fans have grown accustomed to it, some still worry for the singer's health. According to Life & Style, an insider stated that Grande's weight issues have progressed through the 2024 release of "Eternal Sunshine" due to her stress level.

While this may be alarming for Ariana Grande's fans, everyone should note that this is just conjecture at this point. If Grande claims that she is healthiest at the weight she is, fans should take that into account over the word of an unnamed insider.
