Social media users have circulated posts drawing connections between Ariana Grande’s recent music video for Petal and the reported mental health incident involving celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, although the claims are presented without evidence.

The speculation emerged after Perez Hilton was taken to hospital following an incident at his Miami home, where authorities responded to reports of a self-harm livestream.

In the days before the incident, Hilton’s last post had been about Grande’s decision to step back from public-facing work after completing her Eternal Sunshine Tour.

Several posts shared online have highlighted similarities between imagery in Grande’s Petal music video, in which the singer appears covered in blood during some scenes, and images from Hilton’s reported incident.

A social media user wrote, “As we know, Hollywood is a dark demonic place. I don’t think it’s a coincidence what’s happening with Perez Hilton right now. Look at Ariana Grande’s music video just a few days ago. Lots of darkness and occult imagery being pushed online these days.”

Users reacted to the comparison with outrage towards “conspiracy theories” involving Grande in discource, or drew comparisons instead to Stephen King’s Carrie, while others rejected supernatural or conspiratorial interpretations, instead pointing to the gravity of mental health.
