Singer Ariana Grande is facing criticism and accusations of being a homewrecker following the release of her new single, "Yes, And?" The song addresses the backlash she received for dating Ethan Slater and tells fans to mind their own business. Fans took to social media to criticize her relationship, alleging that it started before Slater's divorce from his estranged wife Lilly Jay. The backlash included insults and accusations aimed at Grande. However, there were also fans who praised the song and celebrated its success on music charts, including fellow singer Katy Perry. In July 2023, it was confirmed that Grande and her husband Dalton Gomez were ending their marriage after two years.
Their divorce was finalized in October 2023. Grande and Slater reportedly met on the set of the "Wicked" movie in London. While Grande and Gomez had an amicable split, Slater's divorce from Jay was more contentious, with Jay accusing Grande of not being a "girl's girl" and causing collateral damage to their family. Grande and Slater have tried to keep their relationship low-key but have been spotted together in public on a few occasions. Grande addressed the criticism and drama surrounding her relationship on Instagram, expressing her pride, joy, and feeling of being misunderstood by people who don't know her.
She also thanked her loved ones for their support.
