She spoke of how he had told Mac that he could see him “hitting that” when gesturing to Ariana, prompting her to writeΒ that she has felt “really quiet and hurt since that moment”.
In the tweet detailing what happened, she revealed: “went to pick up food with my boyfriend tonight and a young boy followed us to the car to tell Mac that he’s a big fan.
“He was loud and excited and by the time M was seated in the drivers seat he was literally almost in the car with us. I thought all of this was cute and exciting until he said ‘Ariana is π eπ₯y as hell man I see you, I see you hitting that!!!’
“This may not seem like a big deal to some of you but I felt sick and objectified. I was also sitting right there when he said it. (?)
“I’ve felt really quiet and hurt since that moment. Things like happen all the time and are the kind of moments that contribute to women’s sense of fear and inadequacy. I am not a piece of meat that a man gets to utilize for his pleasure. I’m an adult human being in a relationship with a man who treats me with love and respect.
“It hurts my heart that so many young people are so comfortable using these phrases and objectifying women with such ease.”
Ariana added that she felt like speaking out about this because she knows that “most women know the sensation of being spoken about in an uncomfortable way publicly or taken advantage of publicly by a man”.
She also wrote: “We need to share and be vocal because if we don’t, it will just continue. We are not objects or prizes. We are QUEENS.”

The hitmaker later tweeted: “seeing a lot of “but look how you portray yourself in videos and in your music! you’re so π eπ₯ual!” …. please hold.. next tweet… i repeat.”
Ariana continued: “expressing π eπ₯uality in art is not an invitation for disrespect !!! just like wearing a short skirt is not asking for assault.”
She then added: “Women’s choice. β‘ our bodies, our clothing, our music, our personalities….. π eπ₯y, flirty, fun. it is not. an open. invitation.”
The singer finished with: “You are literally saying that if we look a certain way, we are yours to take. But we are not !!! It’s our right to express ourselves. β‘”
