Ariana Grande Announces Break After Petal Video Backlash
Ariana Grande, a famous singer, said she will stop doing public things after her big tour.
She did this because people were always talking about how she looks.
A new music video called "Petal" made some people worry that it shows a very thin body.
Jameela Jamil, an actress, said Ariana’s team should have stopped the video.
Charli Howard, who helps people with eating problems, also said the video could hurt young girls.
Ariana will finish her tour in London at the O2 Arena, and then she will take a break from being in front of cameras.
Ariana Grande announced a break from public-facing work after her Eternal Sunshine tour.
The break follows criticism of her "Petal" music video, which some say promotes a harmful thin image.
Actress Jameela Jamil called Grande’s team irresponsible for allowing the video.
Eating disorder advocate Charli Howard urged the video be withdrawn, warning it could harm young fans.
Grande will finish the tour with a 10‑night residency at London’s O2 Arena, ending on 1 September.
