Megyn Kelly has called out Ariana Granda for her 'anorexic' appearance while criticizing her relationship with Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo in a scathing takedown of celebrity culture.

Kelly, on her latest podcast episode, condemned the entertainment industry and noted Grande and Erivo as two examples of the increasingly overwhelming takeover of celebrities becoming 'dangerously thin.'

'This industry is not to be admired, certainly not emulated,' Kelly said. 

The podcaster appeared alongside novelist Andrew Klavan to discuss current trends, and how Kelly withdrew her podcast from consideration for a Golden Globe. 

Kelly's rant berating the idolization of celebrities attacked Grande and Erivo, who both starred in Hollywood blockbuster Wicked, for their dramatic weight loss over the movies filming and press tour.

'Take a look at Ariana Grande right now, of the music industry and now also as an actress starring in Wicked. Let's check in on how Ariana, who was raised on television, on Nickelodeon... is doing,' Kelly began. 

'She is very clearly anorexic. If she's 90 pounds, it's a lot. She looks like you could snap her in two with your fingers.'

Kelly went on to comment on social media observations about the Wicked co-star's seemingly close relationship during interviews and their press tour. 

'And [Grande's] having some sort of weird, I don't know what it is... sexual? I don't know, relationship with a they/them, her co-star Cynthia Erivo who also looks dangerously thin,' she continued. 

Erivo has been dating Lena Waithe since 2022 and Grande's relationship with another Wicked actor, Ethan Slater, was made public in 2023. 

But Kelly's comments on the Wicked stars' bodies and weight loss are echoed across social media, as many users expressed deep concern for both stars after their dramatic change in appearance since they were initially cast in Wicked. 

As videos and pictures swirled online, critics called to 'release the Wicked files,' as Grande, Erivo and Michelle Yeoh all appeared to have lost a significant amount of weight. 

'Cynthia looked strong before,' one commenter said. 

'Ariana has always been a small and petite girl, BUT THIS IS NOT NORMAL,' another stressed.  

'Michelle Yeoh's scares me the most because this isn't even a crazy huge role for her,' one social media user wrote on TikTok. 

'The fact that people are trying to normalize how skeletal they look is alarming,' another comment read. 

'One is odd, two is a coincidence, three is a pattern,' one pointed out. 

Grande has repeatedly shut down people commenting on her weight and appearance, and even got emotional discussing the 'overwhelming' pressure that women face. 

As she teared up while speaking to a French reporter on December 5, the star said: 'I've heard every version of it - of what's wrong with me. And then you fix it, and then it's wrong for different reasons.

'I think in today's society, there is a comfortability that we shouldn't have at all — commenting on others' looks, appearance, what they think is going on behind the scenes or health or how they present themselves. 

'It's not invited, so I don't leave space for it anymore.'

Last year while addressing similar concerns, Grande credited her change in appearance to a shift in focus on a healthier way of living. 

She claimed in a TikTok video that 'the body you've been comparing my current body to was the unhealthiest version of my body.'

'I was on a lot of antidepressants and drinking on them and eating poorly and at the lowest point in my life when I looked the way you consider my ''healthy.'' But in fact, that wasn't my ''healthy.'' Healthy can look different.'

Kelly said she used Grande and Erivo to highlight the weight loss epidemic that's happening across the entertainment industry.  

Many on social media have pinned the phenomenon on the popularity of weight loss drugs such as Ozempic. 

'Unfortunately its not just the Wicked cast, it's lots of Hollywood. Look at Lily Collins,' one user commented online. 

Kelly pointed out how Kelly Osbourne, Sharon and the late Ozzy Osbourne's daughter, was 'unrecognizable' after losing a stack of weight. 

'Take a look at Kelly Osbourne, also reality TV star, daughter of Ozzy and Sharon. I love Sharon, but she is - to say 'waif thin,' would be to grossly understate the matter. She is unrecognizable. She's obviously on the shot or something, but you can't even recognize that it is Kelly Osbourne.'

Aside from the weight loss epidemic, Kelly notes other incidents such as comedian Andy Dick's recent appearance in the news for having 'reportedly OD'd' in the streets 'like a homeless person.' 

'My whole point in saying all this is this industry is not to be admired, certainly not to be emulated. You shouldn't be spending your money to get a table with these people. You should not aspire to have a child go into this industry,' Kelly said.

'And you should never feel bad that this industry doesn't recognize you for your life accomplishments.'
