Elsewhere in the Page Six report, the source insinuated that Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater "didn't do anything wrong," claiming that Slater had already split from Lilly Jay two months before news of his romance with Grande broke. But you see, two months ago was May, the same month Slater proudly called Jay his "best friend" in his Mother's Day tribute to her, which Grande had liked. The math is not mathing here, in our humble opinion.

At this point in the story, it appears that Grande's PR team is breaking their backs to clarify there was no cheating involved, or at least no overlap, which is all a little sus (emphasis on that last part, because who knows for certain, obvs). Of course, while it's obviously Slater who deserves all the scorn, slamming Grande for not being "a girl's girl" has been a long time coming, especially since the "Thank U, Next' singer has a long history of cheating rumors and being involved with partners fresh out of a relationship. Jay knows how to hit it where it hurts.

So you've got to hand it to Jay for fighting back against a PR machine that seemingly works round the clock to minimize her story. If she has been cheated on (as a new mom to boot), that isn't something you can sanitize and repackage into a narrative of a marriage simply running its course. As for Grande? She has made her bed and how has to lie in it. We'll see how things go from here.
