Ariana Grande, Y U no cover up? Mayim Bialik, of “Blossom” and “Big Bang Theory” fame has a major gripe with a “giant billboard of Ariana Grande.” The self-proclaimed social conservative-slash-”bleeding heart liberal” doesn’t appreciate the pop star showing so much skin, exposing her body parts for all the world (and Bialik’s sons) to see.
In a recent post on Jewish parenting site Kveller.com, Bialik admits she doesn’t know who the pop star is — guessing she may be a lingerie model given the stiletto heels and two-piece — before going on to describe a look that sounds a lot like the rather innocent one Grande sports on the cover of her new album, My Everything.
“I don’t want my kids learning about sex from billboards,” the actress writes. “Which is why a few billboards I have seen lately really bug me. There is one for Ariana Grande, and I will go ahead and admit I have no idea who she is or what she does. Based on the billboard, she sells lingerie. Or stiletto heels. Or plastic surgery because every woman over 22 wishes she has that body, I’m sure.
“Why is she in her underwear on this billboard though?” the sitcom star continues. “And if she has a talent (is she a singer?), then why does she have to sell herself in lingerie? I mean, I know that society is patriarchal and women are expected to be sexy and sexually available no matter what we do in society, but I guess now I need to explain that to my sons?”
Bialik, referring to her two young boys, Miles, 9, and Frederick, 6, also calls out the “Masters of Sex” ads, crying, “How am I supposed to explain those to my kids? Especially my older son who can read?”
In all fairness, the comedian readily admits she sounds like a “crotchety old lady” who doesn’t understand the mantra of “sex sells.”
But all of this really begs the question, how on earth did a mother of two young kids avoid watching hundreds of “Victorious” and “Sam & Cat” reruns at home!? HOW?
