What kind of vegan Ariana is?

Miss Ariana Grande has called herself a vegan several times but is she really part of that movement? does she even know what veganism is about? Let’s find out...

On November 5th of 2013 Ariana declared on her twitter account that she was becoming "100% vegan" from that day, as you can see below. (tweet link here)

The PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) organization even congratulated her for becoming vegan and for her AMAs award later that month and she thanked them reafirming her decision saying she was very happy for her almost full month as a vegan. (tweet link here)

One year later she celebrated her 1 year of a plant based diet on twitter. (tweet link here)

Notice she was proud of "saving some cute lil innocent lives". Apparently.

One month later, an interview she gave to the Daily Mirror was published (you can check it here) and her supposedly vegan lifestyle became one of the topics.

Interviewer: You’re part Italian, how do you stay in tune with that? Ariana: I’m very proud, my family has amazing history. It’s great hearing stories of my mum growing up in Brooklyn, then moving to Florida, having me and growing up with this eccentric, fun family. Although I don’t eat a lot of Italian things, because I’m vegan. I was raised on meat and cheese, so I’ve had enough for anyone’s normal life span. Interviewer: Why did you become vegan? 

 Ariana: I love animals more than I love most people, not kidding. But I am a firm believer in eating a full plant-based, whole food diet that can expand your life length and make you an all-round happier person. It is tricky dining out, but I just stick to what I know – veggies, fruit and salad – then when I get home I’ll have something else.

She seemed really proud of being a vegan, right? Well, let's see...

The Donut Incident (07/03/2015)

I think we're all familiar with that Ariana story, but, for those who don't know what the donut incident is about let me explain it to you. On March 7th of 2015, miss Grande and some friends went to a donut shop called Wolfee Donuts where she impolitely licked a donut that was on the shop's counter for sale. 

She was also very rude to the shop's donut server and declared to hate America, but that's a subject for another post (her diva behaviour). The main point is: after that she and her friends bought some donuts she was caught by the cameras eating a donut. You can watch the video here.

Well, it wouldn't have been a big deal if the donut were not vegan. This was confirmated by the shop's owner himself and a also by some fans after contacting Wolfee Donuts’ social media about it.

What kind of vegan goes around there eating anything whithout making sure it doesn't have any animal ingredients in it? It's pretty clear she knew it wasn't a vegan donut. She just didn't care about it.

M.A.C.’s Viva Glam Campaign (2015)

Back in 2015 Ariana was chosen as the new face of the line Viva Glam, by M.A.C. In partnership with the cosmetics brand, she developed two lipsticks that were out for sale in 2016 and the money would go for people affected by HIV and AIDS.

Pretty good, huh? Yeah, this would’ve been even better if M.A.C. doesn’t fund tests on animals. Any real vegan would think twice before accepting to be the face of a make up line by a company that funds animal cruelty, even it being for a good cause. Well, she didn’t.

The Fox Fur Jacket (2017)

On 2017's January 27th Ariana posted the picture below in her instagram account:

As usual, her fans quickly found her outfit online and the jacket she was using specially caught a lot of people's attention. It was a Tzarina by Ollia Fox Fur Jacket (£1,900.00).

Well, Tzarina by Ollia is a brand that has a lot of famous women using its designs, such as Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Jennifer Lopez and many others. This brand has openly confirmed to use animal fur in its clothes.

It would have been bad enough for Ariana to have bought this jacket without checking whether it was made of synthetic fur or not. But, the curious thing is that the brand apparently launched this model exclusively to be sold under her name, as it can be seen on its own website.

We don’t know if the sale of this specific jacket tied to Ariana was something done after she had acquired it and publicly used it, or, if from the beginning it was developed for Ariana itself as well as its commercialization under her name. Either way she agreed to this, even it being a piece of clothing from animal suffering, and is probably earning money from it.

She was seen using this jacket many times. The image used on the brand’s website of her with then-boyfriend Mac Miller was taken on the Halloween of that same year. The brand’s instagram account even posted a photo of she using it.

It's very strange to Ariana after declaring herself as a vegan several times have agreed to this, right?

Leather boots

As everyone knows, Ariana wears a pair of thigh high/over-the-knee boots almost every day. She tries to make it her thing, i guess. But, it wouldn’t be a thing to complain about if most of them weren’t made of real leather.

These Gucci boots, by example, aren’t vegan and you can see it on its website.

Y’all can check where most of her outfits are from here and see that not only her boots (which I’d dare to say 90% are made of genuine leather), but a lot of her clothes has animals skin/fur/feather in it. Sadly.

And since we’re talking about Ariana’s not-cruelty-free clothes I thought it would be interesting to let you all know that the pink top she uses on Thank U, Next’s desperate for attention music video was made of Ostrich feathers.

I think a real vegan would be more careful at picking clothes.

Reebook (2017)

Last year Ariana became Reebook's newest ambassador and at this point you can imagine that Reebok isn’t a vegan brand. Right answer.

Reebook uses leather and wool in its products. But that didn’t stop the pony tail from becoming a brand’s ambassador. Any real vegan wouldn’t accept to earn money from animal suffering. She did.

Conclusion

Ariana shouldn’t be going around telling everyone she is vegan ‘cause it’s pretty clear that she is not. Since she eats things with animal derived ingredients, wear clothes with animal derived materials and support brands that funds animal suffering she probably doesn’t even know what the vegan moviment is about.

In my opinion, she just had (or still has idk) a plant based diet for a while to lose weight and stay in shape. That diet is pretty famous and a lot of celebrities are adepts like Beyoncé and Kate Moss. It would be a lot better if she just admitted it instead of lying and claiming she is from a movement that she clearly isn’t. Very hypocrite.

See you on the next post, xoxo.
