A new photo of Ariana Grande looking thin has sparked concerns among fans and doctors.
The singer has visibly lost weight in recent years, which has been attributed to her vegan diet.
But doctors said the photo, believed to have been taken in mid-December with fans at a screening of her new movie Wicked, indicated that the ‘strikingly thin’ Ms Grande had undergone a ‘drastic change’ in recent months.
Dr Sue Decotiis, a board-certified weight loss expert based in New York City, highlighted the star’s visible ribs and prominent clavicle.
She told DailyMail.com: ‘It looks like she lost too much weight. It also looks like her eyes are bulging – which is a sign of a lot of weight loss and could actually be a thyroid disease too.’
She suggested the star could be suffering from hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid produces too little thyroid hormone, causing the body’s functions to slow down. Symptoms include feeding problems and poor weight gain.
‘My biggest concern for her would be losing bone density [which increases the risk of injuries]. This could be accompanied with having very low estrogen levels, not getting your period, fertility issues, and more,’ Dr Decotiis said.
Ms Grande has been subject to public speculation about her weight since her days on the kid’s network Nickelodeon, but rumors that she has slimmed down to a dangerous degree ramped up drastically during the press junket for Wicked.
Ariana said recently: ‘I’ve heard every version of it, of what’s wrong with me, and then you fix it, and then it’s wrong for different reasons.’
The singer has been inundated with messages on social media from fans and spectators expressing their worries about her weight.
Others think she could be taking Ozempic.
