A strange rumor about Ariana Grande has spread online. It claims the singer lost weight by eating only three eggs a day. The rumor is false. It started from an edited video.
The Source of the Rumor: A Fake, Edited Video
The viral rumor is based on a short video clip. In it, an interviewer appears to ask Grande about the “3 eggs a day” diet. She then gets emotional and starts to cry.

The Truth: This video is edited. The original interview was with Jake Hamilton last year. He asked Grande and her Wicked co-star, Cynthia Erivo, a different question. He asked how they had changed each other for the better. Grande’s emotional reaction was to that heartfelt question, not to a fake diet claim.
Grande’s Response to Body Shaming
Grande has not commented on the specific egg rumor. However, she has directly addressed the constant comments about her changing appearance. Last month, she shared an old interview clip on her Instagram Story.
In it, she called public commentary on people’s bodies “horrible” and “really dangerous.” She asked people to be more thoughtful and less comfortable criticizing others’ looks.
Fan Concerns and Unverified Claims
The egg rumor spread amid wider online concern about Grande’s health. Fans have noted she looks thinner during the Wicked press tour. Some social media users have speculated about eating disorders. It is crucial to state these are unverified rumors and speculation. Grande has not confirmed any such health issues.
A family source told the Daily Mail that the singer is “bothered” by the public focus on her weight.
Support from Co-Star Cynthia Erivo
Reports indicate Grande has a strong support system. Her co-star, Cynthia Erivo, has been described as a protective “big sister” figure. This was especially true during a recent security incident in Singapore where a fan rushed at Grande. Erivo quickly stepped in to shield her.
