Ariana Grande's fans are seriously worried for her as she makes heartbreaking plea in social media post, then quickly deletes it
There’s a harsh truth that hits when you’re living life under constant scrutiny: being a celebrity means your every move is visible, and sometimes that visibility comes with serious risk.
We're talking about stalkers showing up uninvited, threats made by strangers online, and the looming fear that one wrong step could escalate into something truly dangerous. Fame brings fortune and admiration - but it also invites obsession, hostility, and danger that most people will never experience.
For Ariana Grande, what was supposed to be a simple Wicked event turned into something darker. She deleted a social media post where she made an unusual plea to her followers - one that fans say sounded alarm bells. It isn’t common for stars of her magnitude to ask their audience for restraint, which is why many of her fans are now genuinely worried.
The fact she chose to delete the message only amplified the concern. It suggests she may have felt the post was too raw, too exposed or too close to what was actually going on behind the scenes.
What led to the plea
Grande announced on Monday, November 3 that a “safety issue” with her flight to São Paulo, Brazil prevented her from making the premiere of Wicked: For Good. She wrote that she, her personal team and the studio had “tried every single thing possible to fix this.”
Then came the post she later removed. In it she stated: “Please don’t wish danger on us. We did everything we could and I promise you no one is more upset than I am, I promise.”
“No matter how upset or disappointed you are, please please do not wish danger on us or assume that we didn’t try .. there was no other time for me to leave and these plans have been booked for months.”
“We were all scheduled to leave the same day … It just so happened that this plane had a safety problem and I have explained why finding another option was impossible ..”
She explained she’d just finished filming Focker-in-Law on October 31 and had worked straight through November 1 and 2. Getting on a different plane simply wasn’t an option.
Fans react with concern
The response from fans has been swift and heartfelt. Some immediately recognized how uncharacteristic the post was, and what it might signal about what Ariana’s going through.
One fan tweeted: "feeling sick to my stomach over the fact that ariana had to type out the words 'please don’t wish danger on us.'"
Another fan wrote: "this is disgusting. wishing her harm because she couldn’t fix something that was clearly out of her control. and also this is ariana grande we’re talking about. she wouldn’t miss anything wicked related willingly. and yall wanna wonder why she doesn’t talk to us anymore."
A third penned: "Ariana having to say “please don’t wish danger on us” to her supposed “fans”…….I GENUINELY HATE YOU ALL."
What this says about life in the spotlight
This moment reminds us that for celebrities, the line between professional setbacks and personal peril can blur quickly. What looks like missing a premiere might involve complex logistics, safety concerns, and emotional exhaustion. Grande’s situation highlights how much pressure stars face behind the scenes.
For fans, her message - and the fact she deleted it - serves as a real-world glimpse of the toll fame can take. It’s not just the performance, the publicity, the red carpet; it’s also the vulnerability, risk and the unexpected hurdles that come when your life is constantly planned and filmed and scrutinized.
