Ariana Grande's latest album, Eternal Sunshine, released earlier this month, has stirred speculation among fans regarding the inspiration behind the track The Boy Is Mine, particularly in relation to her boyfriend and Wicked co-star, Ethan Slater.
However, the song appears to have drawn criticism from Ethan's estranged wife, Lilly Jay.
According to a source close to Lilly, who spoke to the Daily Mail, Ariana's choice to release the is perceived as disrespectful and insensitive.
The source expressed sentiments that her actions reflect poorly on her character, suggesting that the song's title is a direct affront to Lilly and all women alike.
Furthermore, she's disregard for the feelings of Ethan's family is evident, implying that her actions have caused collateral damage.
Lilly had previously voiced concerns about Ariana's conduct, claiming that she does not embody the spirit of sisterhood among women.
According to the source, her lyrics serve as a direct acknowledgment of her role in Ethan's relationship with Lilly, without regard for the consequences of her actions.
The source suggested that the singers decision to address the complexities of her relationship with the co-star through her music reflects her frustration over the ongoing divorce proceedings between Ethan and his ex wife.
Ariana has not officially confirmed that the song is specifically about Slater, nor has she publicly acknowledged being romantically involved with the Broadway star.
