Andrew Tate Sparks Outrage with ‘Sick’ Comment About Ariana Grande’s Appearance.
Andrew Tate has once again found himself at the center of a storm of controversy after making a disturbing comment about Ariana Grande on social media. The former professional kickboxer, who has become infamous for his misogynistic views and arrest on charges of human trafficking and sexual exploitation, left fans disgusted with his latest remarks.
On Wednesday, Tate posted a crude tweet about the 31-year-old pop star, who is currently starring in the hit musical Wicked. The 38-year-old influencer’s message, which read,
“I’m sorry Ariana Grande you’re too skinny and I would no longer f**k you. Access denied,”
immediately caused outrage. But it didn’t stop there. In a second comment under a photo of Ariana, Tate went even further, labeling the singer as looking “like a crack h*e.”

This triggered an immediate backlash from fans, with many expressing their shock and anger. One Twitter user responded, “Why do men think it’s ok to comment on women’s bodies?” Another added, “This is the most disrespectful and disgusting tweet I’ve seen today. How the f**k are people like this still on this app?”
The comment comes after Ariana Grande’s recent appearance at the BAFTA Film Awards, where her visibly slimmer figure sparked fresh concerns among her fans about her health. The 31-year-old singer and actress has been under intense scrutiny for her appearance during the promo tour for Wicked, in which she plays Glinda. Fans took to social media, expressing worry and sympathy for her. One user on Reddit wrote, “I just hope she’s okay because I certainly would not be if I were in her shoes and everyone felt so d*** entitled to talk about my body all the time.”
Tate’s comments only added fuel to the fire, further intensifying the focus on Ariana’s appearance. However, many criticized the influencer’s crude remarks as completely inappropriate and harmful. “She’s more famous than you, has more money, more success, has an amazing reputation, and hasn’t been to jail,” one fan pointed out in response to Tate’s tweet.
The incident is only the latest in a string of controversial actions from Tate, whose social media persona has been marked by inflammatory and misogynistic rhetoric. With over 10 million followers on X (formerly Twitter), Tate’s reach continues to grow, despite the overwhelming criticism and concerns over his influence on young audiences.
Tate, who has faced legal battles since his arrest in Romania in 2022 on charges of human trafficking, sexual misconduct, and money laundering, continues to maintain his innocence. He claims that the charges against him are politically motivated and that there is no evidence to support them. He and his brother Tristan, who was arrested alongside him, have denied all allegations, including those of coercion and abuse.
Their arrest and subsequent detention have not stopped Tate from continuing his controversial public persona. In fact, he has been outspoken about his views on justice and has regularly criticized social media platforms and legal systems for what he perceives as their mistreatment of him.
The Broader Context of Andrew Tate’s Influence
Andrew Tate’s rise to prominence has sparked a wider conversation about the role of social media in shaping public discourse and enabling harmful behaviors. Known for his misogynistic views, Tate has amassed a significant following, particularly among young men. His content promotes a hyper-masculine ideology, often equating success with power and control over women. While many of his followers see him as a mentor, his influence has been criticized for reinforcing toxic gender dynamics and misogyny.

This incident with Ariana Grande further underscores the issue of body shaming, a topic that has become increasingly important in both popular culture and social media. Celebrities, particularly women, are often subjected to intense public scrutiny regarding their physical appearance. While some fans and observers have expressed concern for Grande’s well-being, others have used her figure as a target for disparaging comments—none more damaging than Tate’s recent tweet.
The case of Andrew Tate highlights the need for more effective moderation of harmful content on social media platforms. While free speech remains a core principle in many online spaces, there is growing recognition that platforms must take responsibility for curbing hate speech and disinformation. As Tate continues to navigate his legal challenges, his case serves as a reminder of the power that influencers wield in shaping public opinion and perpetuating harmful stereotypes.
