According to the description mentioned by the actress in her tweet the fan almost accompanied them to the car and uttered words of objectification and insult that had hurt the actress.
Grande strongly opened up about the unwelcoming objectification and posted:
"He was loud and excited and by the time M was seated in the driver's seat, he was literally almost in the car with us," Grande recounted. "I thought all of this was cute and exciting until he said 'Ariana is sexy as hell man. I see you, I see you hitting that!!!'"
"Hitting that? The f**k??" she continued. "This may not seem like a big deal to some of you but I felt sick and objectified. I was also sitting right there when he said it."
The Bang Bang singer expressed her feelings saying that she "felt really quiet and hurt" and also regarded such incidents as the "kinds of moments that contribute to women's sense of fear and inadequacy."
"We need to talk about these moments openly because they are harmful and they live on inside of us as shame," she concluded. "We need to share and be vocal when something makes up feel uncomfortable because if we don't, it will just continue. We are not objects or prizes. We are QUEENS."
"I am not a piece of meat that a men gets to utilize for his pleasure," she stated. "I'm an adult human being in a relationship with a man who treats me with love and respect."
The American actress made following three consecutive tweets reflecting her strong defending statements against women objectification:
"Women's choice. our bodies, our clothing, our music, our personalities..... sexy, flirty, fun.
it is not. an open. invitation."
Undoubtedly, the fans are in full support with Ariana defending the much common objectification issues that many female celebrities face and her strength to come forward and bring out the issue in open is commendable.
