Ariana Grande tried to do a good thing and pay homage to one of her favorite celebrities, but things didn’t go the way she would of liked.
Grande took to Twitter to wish the late Marilyn Monroe happy birthday on Sunday (June 1), but in a time of too many social network voices, she came under attack for her below characters:
“happy birthday marilyn #misunderstood #beautiful #innocentrebel.”
Grande didn’t back down though… she issued a response to naysayers letting them know how she really feels:
So much hate for celebrating Marilyn’s spirit on her birthday. I adore her work and have compassion for her inner sadness that she covered up on a daily basis that a*sholes like you made her feel in the first place!! judging her for her wildly rumored personal life (which is truly no one else’s business) is only a distraction from her talent, beauty, comedic genius and effervescent spirit.
It always breaks my heart to see people say such terrible things about people they’ve never met / don’t really know the one hundred percent truth about. so today, I choose to celebrate the beautiful parts of marilyn. we should only and always focus on the beautiful things… because what we focus on expands….. which is why I feel for the people who focus on hate…. because that’s all you have to give. and I truly do feel sorry for you because when you’ve been dead for 50 some odd years…… nobody will be wishing you a happy birthday.
More power to you AG. A lot of folks feel like they can say anything nowadays being their cellphones or PCs. If celebrities don’t defend themselves then people will continue to roll over them.
