Cynthia Erivo’s Girlfriend Exposes Ariana Grande For Trying To Cheat With Cynthia| Ariana On The DL
Grab your tea, your popcorn, and your prayer beads, because this Hollywood love triangle is giving Wicked levels of chaos — literally.
According to new insider reports and some extremely telling social media posts, Cynthia Erivo’s girlfriend, Lena Waithe, has HAD IT with Ariana Grande and is allegedly calling her out for trying to slide into Cynthia’s love life.
And if the rumors are true, then Ariana isn’t just playing Elphaba — she’s out here playing “Mrs. Steal Yo Girl,” too.
Let’s walk through why the internet is convinced that Lena Waithe is exposing Ariana for trying to get with Cynthia… and why Hollywood insiders are saying Ariana might be on the DL.
Yeah. It’s that deep.
THE RUMORS EXPLODE: LENA’S CRYPTIC POSTS CALL OUT ARIANA
Fans started raising eyebrows when Lena Waithe began posting extremely pointed — and extremely petty — messages on social media.
One post included a screenshot from an interview where Cynthia and Ariana were being… well… suspiciously close.
Lena reposted it with the caption:
“I watched you guys in the press tour… insufferable.”
OOP.
Then she posted a random photo of Ariana Grande with zero context, just a vaguely shady energy that had the internet SPINNING. Everyone was like:
Why is Lena posting Ariana?
Why this photo?
Why now?
Because allegedly…
Lena is DONE pretending not to notice the way Ariana is orbiting Cynthia like a lovesick moon.
And this wasn’t the first time Lena showed irritation. She once posted:
“Maturity in a relationship is when you catch your mind creating false stories.”
Fans took that as:
She was creating “stories,” but now she’s saying they’re not false anymore.
THE “OBSESSION”: WHY FANS SAY ARIANA IS ACTING WEIRD
The Wicked press tour has been one giant flashing red flag.
Fans noticed immediately:
Cynthia and Ariana were extremely touchy
Extremely giggly
Extremely inseparable
And extremely giving “this is more than friendship” vibes
People online described their behavior as “obsessive,” “strange,” and “off-putting.”
They weren’t wrong.
Let’s not pretend we didn’t all see the viral “holding space” moment from the interview where Ariana was practically melting under Cynthia’s gaze like she was cast in Wicked: The Romance Edition.
Then came the clip where Ariana gets grabbed by a fan and Cynthia COMES RUNNING like a panicked girlfriend.
Ariana barely had time to gasp before Cynthia was touching her face, her hair, her back, and asking “Are you okay?” on repeat like she just rescued her from a burning building.
Even fans who like them together said:
“This is giving couple energy.”
THE MATCHING TATTOOS (Yeah… matching tattoos)
As if the touching and whispering and finishing each other’s sentences weren’t enough, Ariana and Cynthia went out and got matching tattoos.
Not symbols from the movie.
Not cast tattoos.
Not group tattoos.
Matching tattoos. With emotional captions.
Ariana wrote:
“My Cynthia, I will never forget one second of this time with you… you are unimaginably an even fiercer friend… I am so thankful for the privilege of knowing and loving you.”
Uhhhhhhh… “My Cynthia”??
“My.”
Cynthia.
The internet lost its mind.
And here’s where the plot thickens:
Ariana ONLY gets matching tattoos with partners she is romantically involved with.
Pete Davidson? Matching tattoos.
Dalton Gomez? Matching tattoos.
Mac Miller? Matching tattoos.
Ethan Slater? Matching tattoos.
And now?
Cynthia.
Lena Waithe is reportedly NOT amused.
LENA’S SIDE: “Ariana Wants My Girl.”
Insiders close to the situation say Lena Waithe thinks Ariana is:
Using her “sweet, fragile persona” to get Cynthia to protect her
Playing damsel to get Cynthia emotionally hooked
“Accidentally on purpose” crossing boundaries
Trying to create intimacy through physical touch
Moving exactly the same way she does with her romantic partners
One insider put it bluntly:
“Lena feels like Ariana is grooming Cynthia into a relationship.”
And as crazy as that sounds… the evidence is starting to add up.
ARIANA’S TRACK RECORD: “THANK U, NEXT” IN REAL TIME
Lena’s concern doesn’t come out of nowhere. Ariana Grande’s romantic history reads like a whirlwind storm of:
fast hookups
fast breakups
fast engagements
and fast “oops I stole someone else’s partner” situations
Let’s recap her greatest hits:
✔ She dated Big Sean when he wasn’t fully single
✔ She dated Mac Miller weeks after ending things with Big Sean
✔ She got engaged to Pete Davidson after a few weeks
✔ She allegedly cheated with Ethan Slater while he was married
✔ Ethan left his wife AND newborn baby for Ariana
✔ And rumor has it she just dumped Ethan too
Ariana Grande’s dating history has more plot twists than Wicked itself.
So when she starts orbiting a taken woman — Lena notices.
THE DL RUMORS: IS ARIANA INTO WOMEN?
This is where things get spicy.
Rumors about Ariana being bisexual or pansexual have followed her for YEARS.
Victoria Monét once implied Ariana wasn’t straight.
Ariana has written songs with bisexual themes.
Her videos often feature queer-coded imagery.
And she has openly joked about being attracted to women.
Fans have repeatedly said:
“Ariana Grande gives DL bisexual vibes.”
Lena allegedly thinks Ariana is finally ready to act on it… with Cynthia.
WHY THIS REALLY HITS LENA HARD: THEIR RELATIONSHIP STARTED MESSY TOO
Here’s the twist nobody saw coming:
Lena Waithe might be terrified because she knows exactly how it feels to lose your partner to someone else.
Because that’s allegedly how she GOT Cynthia in the first place.
Back in 2018:
Cynthia met Lena at the Met Gala
They hit it off immediately
Cynthia called Lena her “sis”
They were everywhere together
And then Lena suddenly left her wife
Just two months after getting married
The internet cooked Lena ALIVE.
Everyone said she cheated with Cynthia.
So now that Ariana is entering the picture like a sparkly karma fairy, fans are saying:
“Lena is scared she’s about to lose Cynthia the same way she got her.”
And the symbolism??
Whew.
Cynthia once called Lena her “sis.”
Now Cynthia calls Ariana her “sis.”
The exact same language.
The exact same behavior arc.
The exact same intimacy-building pattern.
No wonder Lena is pressed.
THE FINAL STRAW: CYNTHIA ADMITTING THEY TALK EVERY DAY
In an interview with Elle Magazine, Cynthia said:
“I’ve gained a sister. We speak almost every day. We were blown away by how connected we were immediately.”
Um.
EXCUSE ME.
“Speak every day” and “connected immediately”??
That’s exactly what people say at the START of relationships, not friendships.
Fans commented:
“This is literally what people say when they’re in love but don’t realize it yet.”
ARIANA’S WEAK DEFENSE: “I just channel energy with my hands!”
After weeks of ignoring the drama, Ariana finally addressed why she’s constantly touching Cynthia.
She said:
“I channel energy through my hands. I’m always holding something. I like to channel support or energy.”
Girl.
You were not “channeling energy.”
You were massaging Cynthia’s shoulder like you were trying to heal her soul.
Fans don’t buy it.
Lena doesn’t buy it.
And sources say Lena is calling cap on Ariana’s “energy” explanation.
THE LOVE TRIANGLE TURNS INTO A BATTLEFIELD
Insiders say Lena is ready to throw hands — metaphorically and maybe literally.
She allegedly:
warned Cynthia to create space
is preparing to confront Ariana
is willing to expose Ariana if she keeps pushing boundaries
has receipts about Ariana’s DL relationships
is prepared to “fight dirty”
One insider said:
“Lena feels like she’s losing her partner. She will burn everything down before she lets Ariana steal Cynthia.”
Meanwhile, Ariana is reportedly stepping back from Ethan Slater completely, leaving him confused and heartbroken after he gave up his marriage for her.
Fans are saying:
“Ariana dumped Ethan because she wants Cynthia.”
The triangle has become a pentagon — and a dangerous one.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Here’s the truth:
Ariana and Cynthia’s chemistry is real
Their closeness is VERY questionable
Lena Waithe is absolutely not imagining it
The DL rumors about Ariana have always been there
Ariana’s dating patterns line up with these allegations
Cynthia seems emotionally invested
And Lena is on DEFCON 1
This situation is volatile, chaotic, messy, and completely unpredictable.
But one thing is clear:
Lena Waithe is not letting Ariana Grande waltz into her relationship without a fight.
This is Hollywood’s biggest queer-coded love triangle since Kristen Stewart broke the Twilight timeline — and the internet is READY.
Stay tuned, because this story isn’t just twisting…
It’s defying gravity.
