Ariana: The Biography

Product Information

it’s very fast pace. i appreciated how Jennette didn’t go into a ton of detail regarding certain subjects. it was just “yup this is was it is, this is how it is, and this is what i’m doing about it” it was very raw and real in my opinion. no flowery language Now after the November release of her latest album Positions and recent engagement to real estate agent Dalton Gomez, Grande is teasing new inspiration for music in 2021 such as Positions Deluxe, which she announced is rolling out this February.

This is another big problem child actors face, the predators on the shooting sets. The author mentions a "creator" who behaved harshly toward her. This same creator also allegedly misbehaved with some other crew members in a sexually inappropriate way. this is a very candid account on the abuse jennette mccurdy suffered at the hands of her narcissistic mother, and how that merged with her experience as a child actress. i don’t think you need to be familiar with her show, or even know/care about her as a person to glean lots from this book, and i think it's an important text that could even be considered historical, due to her nature as a public figure and the way her story is likely representative of a much larger population of child actors. Also, I know I said I didn't want to get too woo-woo personal, but I will just say this: I deeply connected to Jennette in terms of understanding the longstanding effects (as a child who doesn't know any better) of being made to feel like you are responsible for the state of mind and emotions of another person - an ADULT person. For years.It has been a long time since I have felt seen. The last book that I felt really conveyed the complexity of a dysfunctional parent-child relationship is The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls.

The exploitation of children in the entertainment industry is something that really needs to be discussed. Seeing a child star expose the abuse she suffered in the industry is truly heartbreaking, but extremely important, especially in this day and age, where even more parents are pressuring their children and forcing them to put themselves out there for fame. I wonder if in 10 years we’ll see similar testimonies from kids of family channels who grew up making money for their parents in an even more disgusting way: by having they entire lives documented and posted online for all to see. Why do we romanticize the dead? Why can't we be honest about them? Especially moms, they're the most romanticized of anyone. ”However, it’s Grande’s emotional and personal music creations (which are often based on events in her life) that have driven her relatability and authenticity among an international audience. I realize that she’s happy and I’m not. Her happiness came at the cost of mine. I feel robbed and exploited.’ I think the only way to prevent child actors from being exploited by parents and crew members is by appointing an internal committee in every shooting set that even has access to mental health care professionals if needed. This committee should ensure that a certain percentage of children's earnings should be solely used for children's personal needs like education. This will prevent the children from being monetarily misused by their parents.

Warning to look up trigger warnings before proceeding. There is a LOT of triggering content in this book. It doesn't shy away from facing problems head on and with an unflinching tone. A truly incredible and hard-hitting memoir. Whether you watched Jennette’s shows growing up (like me) or you don’t know her at all, I think this book is a must read. I don’t want to go into too many details, so I’ll just share some of my thoughts: Ariana Grande has streak rules for paparazzi like to not take a picture of her right side. Also,once Ariana grande was not pretty in a picture with a fan so Ariana obliged the fan to take of that picture, and didn’t take another picture with that fan. In the positive way Ariana Grande has more fans than enemies because fans do not believe what paparazzis say. Every time that Ariana is in front of her fans, Ariana acts like the paparazzi story didn’t exist. Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift were invited to sing at the “Victoria Secret” fashion show. A model came with big angel outfit and Ariana was singing, so the model heated Ariana’s head with he strong wings! Ariana was pretending that it was all write, but actually Ariana was very mad. Ariana didn’t express herself because Ariana wants all the enemies to become her fans. Every one knows that Ariana has a good heart, but is a pop star diva.

The pop sensation now has many achievements under her belt including Billboard’s Women in Music Woman of the Year, and several awards from the VMAs, AMAs, GRAMMYs, and more. The writing is easy to read but still poignant. I think Jennette did a great job recounting the events of her life. I especially appreciate how she recounted her childhood; she really nailed writing from the perspective of a naïve child who doesn’t realize how awful her mother is.
