“If you think you’re saying something good or well-intentioned, whatever it is, healthy or unhealthy, big or small, this or that, sexy or not sexy, we should really work towards not doing that as much.
“There are ways to compliment someone or to ignore something you see that you don’t like.
“I think we should help each other work towards just being safer and keeping each other safer.”
The award-winning star told her fanbase that there are many ways to look both healthy and beautiful.

She added: “Personally, for me, the body that you’ve been comparing my current body to was the unhealthiest version of my body.
“I was on a lot of anti-depressants and drinking on them and eating poorly and at the lowest point of my life when I looked the way you consider my health, but that, in fact, wasn’t my healthy.”
Ariana said that she shouldn’t have to explain why her body looks a certain way but hoped something good could come from her transparency on the topic.

The singer continued: “You never know what someone is going through, so even if you’re coming from a loving place or a caring place, that person probably is working on it or has a support system that they’re working on it with.
“You never know, so be gentle with each other and yourselves.”
The Bang Bang hitmaker finished her video by telling her fans they are all beautiful.
