Earlier this summer, the two of them took a break from social media because they were ' tired of being attacked,' according to a source close to Ariana who spoke to People. Both Ariana and Pete were on the receiving end of online harassmentīut this was not the only time that online trolls would get in the way of their relationship. For a girl who was already reeling from the sudden death of someone she clearly cared deeply about, that must've been incredibly painful. People flooded her social media with malicious comments that attempted to blame her for her ex-boyfriend's death. TMZ doesn't bring this up, but it also feels worth mentioning that Ariana received a ton of completely unwarranted hate and harassment immediately following Mac's death.

With tweets like 'i'm so fucking tired' and 'nothing will ever b ok' it definitely seemed like she was going through a tough time after Mac's death.Īnd apparently, according to TMZ's sources, Ariana came to a few realizations after Mac's unfortunate death - that she couldn't be fully invested in her new relationship with Pete, and that she had rushed into things way too fast by getting engaged after only a month of dating. On September 27, she wrote an emotional string of tweets that made fans very concerned for her well-being. After her ex-boyfriend passed away from a fatal overdose, Ariana was reportedly in an 'incredibly dark place.'Īnd it certainly looked that way on social media. According to TMZ, sources close to Ariana say that Mac Miller's death was the tipping point.
