"In a lengthy Notes app screed, the singer, 25, laid out how terrifying it is to be a partner to someone battling addiction. 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.
“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. “I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be.”"
If you don't know who either is - I only knew who Mac Miller was because my ex husband listened to him. Ariana Grande was on Disney and then left to do her singing and so on. Apparently they dated - and his fans are blaming HER for his death and his accident after they broke up.
Her response is 100% spot on. It is NOT a partner's fault for the other person's addiction. It is not her fault he was an addict. If anyone has ever been in a relationship with an addict or the family member of an addict it's freaking hard to be around or with that person. I do not agree that it is a disease - but everything else is spot on and she should not be harassed or blamed for anything involving his addiction.
