Ariana DeBose has faced criticism both online and offline, but the actress has learned to navigate negativity and focus on her success. Following backlash from social media trolls after the 2023 BAFTAs and her SNL hosting gig, DeBose has found ways to protect her mental well-being and silence the noise of those who don't understand her experiences.
Ariana DeBose always carries herself with the utmost grace — but the ups and downs of her past have allowed her to become the best version of herself for the future.
Following her hosting gig during the 2023 BAFTAs, DeBose faced backlash from social media trolls after she opened the awards show with a musical number that praised the women nominees like Angela Bassett and Jamie Lee Curtis for doing “the thing,” leading to her deactivating her X account. The year prior, she addressed haters who critiqued her Saturday Night Live hosting gig after she accidentally cited the wrong year during her monologue.
“There's a great quote that’s like, ‘Don't take advice from people who are not in the arena, do not listen to criticism from people who are not in the arena,’” DeBose told Us. “That has been very helpful to me. I don't necessarily think that all criticism is bad criticism, but I think the society we're living in today, the first thing we do is criticize. It's as if we have lost the ability to see the light in something or the intention behind something.
“Clarity of reading auras and character of a person, if that could be my superpower for every person I meet, so that I know like, ‘Cool, cool. I'm gonna go,’ or, ‘Cool. Cool, let's have a conversation,’ that'd be great,” she said with a laugh.
