Despite the divorce of American actor Ethan Slater and his wife Lilly Jay, Ariana Grande's response to the situation managed to grab a lot of attention. Reports in November 2016 that Ariana was dating Ethan after he divorced surfaced triggered a critical remark from Ethan’s wife about Ariana insinuating her family was just collateral damage. Despite all the criticism, it seems Ariana does not see any point in ending her relationship with Ethan for now. A report by Entertainment Tonight revealed Ariana's reaction to the ongoing situation recently: A close source mentioned that Ariana gave Ethan space to navigate through the divorce proceedings while their relationship continued.

This news led people to speak out on Twitter, leading to more criticism aimed at Ariana. Back in the day, when rumours started surfacing about their relationship, Ariana took a lot of heat for her actions. Lilly Jay went ahead and expressed her concern about Ethan getting involved with someone he was dating while still legally married.

Reports had suggested that Ariana was eager to publicly admit her relationship with Ethan, but her team told her to take things slow. But looking at Ariana’s actions, it appeared she was doing the opposite of what she was told to do. This resulted in more controversy for her. Even Ariana’s loyal fans are disappointed in some of her actions.

At this moment, neither of the parties involved has released a statement themselves. It remains to be seen how Lilly Jay will respond to these developments in the future.
