Highlights

• Ariana Grande's new album directly addresses her affair with Ethan Slater and is seen as dismissive of the scandal fallout.
• Ethan's estranged wife Lilly Jay has not publicly commented on the music, leaving insiders to speculate her feelings.
• The album has stirred up controversy over Ariana's past relationships with taken men and the impact on her reputation.

Ariana Grande’s new album seems like an unapologetic response to the drama she got herself in last year after going public with their relationship with Ethan Slater, even though they were both married to other people at the time.

While she may have hoped the album would improve her reputation following the cheating scandal, Ethan’s estranged wife’s reaction certainly isn’t helping. While Lilly Jay hasn’t made a public statement regarding Ariana’s new music (unlike the scathing comments she had after their affair was exposed), sources close to Lilly say she’s not surprised by the pop star’s new lyrics.

Ariana Grande Will Share Details Of Her Affair With Ethan Slater In New Music After Backlash

Ethan Slater’s Ex-Wife Isn’t Surprised By Ariana’s Album

"Ariana’s new album just shows what kind of woman she truly is,” a source told Daily Mail. “To sing a song called 'The Boy Is Mine' is not only a slap in the face to his still wife Lilly, but a slap in the face to all women."

As Lilly said from the get-go, Ariana is not a girl’s girl and Ethan’s family is collateral damage,” the source continued. “Ariana basically rubbed it in Lilly’s face that she stole Ethan from Lilly then asks her fans to not interpret her song the wrong way. This is not an interpretation. It is her literal words."

The insider emphasized that Ariana’s album clarifies any misunderstanding around the situation, and the singer clearly doesn’t care that fans know she (allegedly) went after a married man.

"Ariana left nothing up to interpretation," the source went on. "She spelled it out and those close to Lilly believe she did this because she is upset that Ethan’s divorce is still dragging out. She wants him all to herself and feels that—because he is still legally married—she cannot truly have him.”

They added, “Everyone close to Lilly, and who knows Ethan, is just waiting for karma to slap him and Ariana in the face. It will come."

Ariana Grande's Disturbing 5th Birthday Party Reveals A Dark Secret About The Seemingly Sweet Pop Star

Ariana was married to Dalton Gomez when she reportedly began dating her Wicked co-star. Fans have theorized there are some hints on Ari’s album suggesting Dalton may have been unfaithful to her. They quietly settled their divorce after her relationship with Ethan was exposed, despite reports that Gomez wanted to work on things with Grande.

Ariana Has A History Of Going After Taken Men

Ethan’s divorce hasn’t been publicly confirmed, so it’s suspected that he’s still negotiated with his estranged wife, who he shares a baby with. Lilly, who isn’t a celebrity, has stayed mainly out of the spotlight since her husband’s alleged affair. But she did speak to the media t the beginning, only to make poignant comments about how Ariana isn’t a “girl’s girl.”

There was speculation that Ariana and Ethan’s romance could hurt her career, especially since fans are noticing a pattern in Ariana’s history of going after men in relationships. While her album has reinvigorated interest in her affair with Ethan, it remains to be seen if it positively boosts her reputation like she was likely hoping for.
