Recently, the news broke that musicians Ariana Grande and Mac Miller called it quits on their relationship.
Not too long after their breakup hit the media, Mac Miller got into a pretty bad car accident crashing his G-Wagon and was charged with a DUI. A few days later, the media broke some reports that Grande was already moving on, dating SNL comedian Pete Davidson–although the two have not confirmed or denied reports of their relationship.
People on Twitter were getting pretty rude and salty towards Ariana Grande, blaming her for Mac Miller’s fallout. In fact, they were trying to make her feel guilty about leaving Miller–claiming he “wrote an entire album dedicated to her,” so, she should have stayed with him. One Twitter user, Elijah Flint, tried making her feel guilty about walking away from Miller, saying:

After the tweet went viral on social media, Grande decided to issue a statement about the breakup–saying it’s no females “job” to stay with a man who cannot get his sh*t together. In the statement, she said:
How absurd that you minimize female self-respect and self-worth by saying that someone should stay in a toxic relationship because he wrote an album about them, which [by the way] isn’t the case (just “Cinderella” is [about] me). I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be. 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 shit together is a very major problem. Let’s please stop doing that. Of course I didn’t share about how hard or scary it was while it was happening, but it was. I will continue to pray from the bottom of my heart that he figures it all out and that any other woman in this position does as well.

Women on Twitter were forever grateful to Grande for speaking up for herself and millions of other females going through similar struggles. Ladies, it is in no way your job to stand by someone in a toxic relationship if they cannot help themselves or try to change their toxic habits. Clearly, Grande struggled through the relationship with Miller–who has been open with the media and fans about his substance abuse problems. It is outlandish and outrageous to put the blame on the female for someone’s bad decisions and poor habits.
