Ariana Grande speaks out over 'toxic relationship'

Ariana Grande has spoken out about her "toxic relationship" with ex-boyfriend Mac Miller.

She was responding to comments from a Twitter user, who said what happened to Miller after "Grande dumped him" was "the most heartbreaking thing".

The tweets also referred to Miller's reported arrest last week, for drink driving after he crashed his car in LA.

Grande said she should not be shamed "for a man's inability to keep it together".

Her full reply to user Elijah Flint reads, "how absurd that you minimise female self-respect and self-worth by saying someone should stay in a toxic relationship because he wrote an album about them, which by the way isn't the case (just Cinderella is about me).

"I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be.

"I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety and prayed for his balance for years (and always will of course) but shaming/blaming women for a man's inability to keep it together is a very major problem.

"Let's please stop doing that. Of course I didn't share about how hard or scary it was while it was happening but it was.

"I will continue to pray from the bottom of my heart that he figures it all out and that any other woman in this position does as well."
