Ariana Grande brands relationship with ex-boyfriend Mac Miller ‘toxic’ after fan blames her for his ‘drink-drive’ arrest
ARIANA Grande has branded her relationship with her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller “toxic”.
The 24-year-old singer made the comments when a Twitter user insinuated she was to blame for Mac’s arrest earlier this week.
Mac, 26, was charged with driving under the influence following an incident in the San Fernando Valley in the US.
Ariana ended her relationship with the rapper at the start of the year and had previously not spoken about why they split.
But last night, she hit back after a Twitter user tagged her into a post and wrote: “Mac Miller totalling his G wagon and getting a DUI after Ariana Grande dumped him for another dude after he poured his heart out on a 10-song album to her called the divine feminine is just the most heartbreaking thing happening in Hollywood…”
Ariana's statement read: “How absurd that you minimise female self-respect and self-worth by saying someone should stay in a toxic relationship because he wrote an album about them, which btw isn't the case (just Cinderella is ab me). I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be.”
She continued: “I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety & prayed for his balance for years (and always will of course) but shaming/blaming women for a man's inability to keep his s*** together is a very major problem. Let's please stop doing that.”
Ariana added: “I will continue to pray from the bottom of my heart that he figures it all out and that any other in this position does as well.”
After she posted the message, the person who first wrote to Ariana apologised for his remarks.
He said: “I had no idea this would go viral and get treated like a story on TMZ.

“It truly doesn't go as deep as you're implying and I truly hope you and Mac get back to living your best lives as soon as possible.
“I'm very sorry I hurt you and I'm sorry you feel my tweet stigmatises women for ending a toxic relationship.
“That wasn't my intention at all. I think every woman is equal to a man and has the same exact right to pursue their happiness to the fullest despite the backlash they might receive, including you.”
