Especially where fame and fandom are involved, the gossipy headlines about betrayal and heartbreak seem like a more tangible cause for tragedy than the reality that no matter how much support they have, even the strongest of our heroes can lose the battles they fight. Grande is not the first woman to carry the weight of a romantic partner’s demons on her shoulder. “I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be.” “How absurd that you minimize female self-respect and self-worth by saying someone should stay in a toxic relationship because he wrote an album about them,” she wrote, noting that only one song on Miller’s Divine Feminine was explicitly about her. She never described Miller in any way other than as someone she loved and cared for deeply who had a disease she couldn’t control.

In a lengthy Notes app screed, the singer, 25, laid out how terrifying it is to be a partner to someone battling addiction.

Flint, like many presumed fans of Miller (as well as casual tabloid followers), didn’t find the heartbreak in Miller’s continuous battle with substance abuse - a battle he explored in his music and spoke openly about for years - but rather in the fact that a woman like Grande could, according to Flint, callously transform from being one man’s muse to finding love with someone else.įlint’s tweet wasn’t the only comment like that at the time, but it was the only one Grande responded to. “It’s the most heartbreaking thing happening in Hollywood,” wrote Twitter user Elijah Flint back in May. It was their breakup in May that finally captured public attention, especially since it was followed eight days later by Miller crashing his car while intoxicated and, just weeks after that, Grande getting engaged to SNL star Pete Davidson. Mac Miller and Ariana Grande‘s relationship fell unusually under the tabloid radar for the majority of their two-year run.
