Ariana Grande has responded to a Twitter user who suggested that she should take responsibility for her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller’s recent car accident and subsequent DUI.
Earlier this week, Elijah Flint tweeted: “Mac Miller totalling 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.”

Yesterday, Ariana Grande responded and admonished Flint for minimising "female self-respect and self-worth by saying someone should stay in a toxic relationship."
She said that “shaming/blaming women for a man’s inability to keep his shit together is a very major problem.” She added that she has “cared for him and tried to support his sobriety” for years and that she “will continue to pray from the bottom of [her] heart that he figures it all out and that any other woman in this position does as well.”

Honestly, I think the first step to becoming a feminist as a man is realizing that by being raised in a patriarchal society you’ve unintentionally internalized misogynistic tendencies.

The news that Grande and Mac Miller had split up emerged earlier this month, and she now seems to be dating SNL’s Pete Davidson. Grande made headlines earlier this week for her touching tweet which paid tribute to the victims of the Manchester bombing on their first anniversary.
