Ariana responded to this post with "sigh.....tweets, comments, statements like this are not okay. about anyone!!! we live in a day and age where people make it IMPOSSIBLE for women, men, anyone to embrace themselves exactly how they are. diversity is sexy! loving yourself is sexy! you know what is NOT sexy? misogyny, objectifying, labeling, comparing and body shaming!!! talking about people's body's as if they're on display ASKING for your approval/opinion. THEY ARE NOT!!!! CELEBRATE YOURSELF. CELEBRATE OTHERS. The things that make us different from one another make us BEAUTIFUL. BODY BOUNDARIES. LOVE LOVE LOVE ONLY."

Grande's body positive response for women to "love themselves" elicited an enthusiastic response from Winter on Twitter.

Thank you @ArianaGrande ❤️ Women should empower one another.Celebrate each other- you're all beautiful. https://t.co/FpmCmB0K5W

Grande spoke out against misogyny on her Instagram account after her split with Big Sean. In addition, Entertainment Weekly reported she gave the deejays a lesson on feminism on a radio show on Tuesday with California's Power 106.

DJs Justin Credible and Eric D-Lux asked, "If you could use makeup or your phone one last time, which one would you pick?"

"Is this what you think girls have trouble choosing between?" she answered. "Is this men assuming that that's what girls would have to choose between?"
