Another day, another incredible article feature with Dr. Maria Rago. Due to her expertise in eating disorders and working with people who struggle with body image issues, she was recently quoted in an article in Women’s Health Magazine, to get her perspective on the many negative comments made about Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s bodies, claiming they looks “unhealthy”.
Why You Shouldn’t Comment on Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s Bodies: Insights from Rago & Associates
In this Women’s Health Magazine article, “Experts On Why You Shouldn’t Comment On ‘Wicked’ Stars Ariana Grande And Cynthia Erivo’s Bodies” experts weigh in on why public commentary on the bodies of celebrities like Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo is not only harmful but also perpetuates harmful beauty standards. The discussion highlights the growing need to respect individual autonomy and focus on mental and physical well-being rather than body appearance.
Dr. Maria Rago, National President at the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD), and the founder and clinical director of Rago & Associates, offers an essential perspective in the piece. As an advocate for mental health and body acceptance, Maria emphasizes the damaging effects that public comments about celebrity bodies can have on mental health and body image. “On a social level, when you comment on a person’s body, you’re basically objectifying someone,” Maria mentioned. “It’s saying that we should be defined by our bodies, not who we are.”
