Break up with Ariana Grande
Miller and Ariana Grande were the IT couple. But earlier this year in May, he and Ariana went through a well-publicized break-up after 2 years of dating.
The couple had met in 2012. Things hit off between the two from friendship to love. At the One Love Manchester concert in 2017, they collaborated on several songs and performed them together.
The legal issues
After the breakup, Miller was not in a good place. In the month of May, he was arrested for driving under the influence and hit and run, and Only last month was he charged for his crime.
The Backlash
After the arrest of Miller, his fans put the blame on Ariana as she had ended their relationship and called it a “toxic relationship”.
She had the clap back on Twitter with the statement:
“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 his s— together is a very major problem.
I didn’t share 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.”
Miller fans harass Ariana
Ariana Grande disabled comments on her Instagram on September 7, around the evening after Miller fans started to blame her for his death.
One user had written:
“It’s crazy because you really did kill him,”
Another one wrote:
“This is your fault.”
