Internet reacts as Lilly Jay calls her family ‘collateral damage’ in Ethan Slater’s romance with Ariana Grande

Lilly Jay, the estranged wife of actor Ethan Slater, has broken her silence regarding his new romance with pop sensation Ariana Grande. 

Jay, who celebrated four years of marriage with Slater last fall, before he filed for divorce this week, opened up about his relationship with his Wicked costar, 30-year-old Grande. 

"[Ariana’s] the story really. Not a girl’s girl," Jay told Page Six. "My family is just collateral damage," she added, expressing the impact of Slater's new relationship on her and their child.

"The story is her and Dalton," she added. 

Netizens flooded New York Post’s Instagram post regarding the matter, calling the Side to Side singer a “mess” and sympathizing with Jay.

One user criticized the singer, saying: “Ariana is a mess! She ought to be ashamed of herself smh”

A third user commented: “ hope @arianagrande popularity sinks after this. She has no respect.”

More users threw shade at Grande for going for a married man, writing, “She needs glasses and a moral compass please,” and “#arianagrande is sick. She is always going w/guys who are married, engaged or have girlfriends. Therapy.”

Last week, a source confirmed the separation between Slater and Jay. On Wednesday, the actor officially filed for divorce in New York City, although the reason for their split was not disclosed.
