Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande posted a TikTok video on Tuesday addressing "concerns" about her appearance and urging people to refrain from commenting on other people's bodies.
The "Positions" singer shared the clip in response to social media users who have recently scrutinized her body, deeming her "sick," "unhealthy" and underweight.
"I don't do this often. I don't like it. I'm not good at it," Grande says in the video.

Robinson, a 25-year-old former student at Winston-Salem State University in North Carolina, died in October while staying in a luxury rental property in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur.
"Based on the results of the autopsy and after a careful deliberation and review of the investigative materials by both U.S. Attorneys' Offices, federal prosecutors informed Ms. Robinson's family today that the available evidence does not support a federal prosecution," the US Attorneys' Offices said in a release Wednesday.
