A wonderful young woman. She deserves all the love she gets.

She's great. People love to act like pop music is trash, but a lot of these people are doing great work. Taylor Swift, Carly Rae, and Olivia Rodrigo are very positive pop idols for teens. Being mad about pop music for the sake of being a contrarian asshole is like being mad at rainbows and candy.

Kurt Vonnegut said it the best, but replace "literary critics" with "contrarians upset about pop music for no reason."

>As for literary criticism in general: I have long felt that any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel or a play or a poem is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae or a banana split.

People change. Also very much different circumstances that they were under versus now. Child actors (especially on Disney) are essentially pitted against each other by their parents from a very young age.

I don't recall her memoir blaming Ariana directly? More complaining about how Disney favored Ariana and let her do things they wouldn't let Jeanette do, like skip episodes to do other projects.
