People Are Heartbroken Over This Clip Of Ariana Looking Dejected After Cynthia Rejected Her Attempt To Hold Hands – BuzzFeed

Cynthia previously said that she and Ari are so PDA-heavy because Ari “needs contact when there’s emotion.”BuzzFeed StaffIf you need reminding, both stars sparked concern when they repeatedly ended up in floods of tears during interviews, with the two also appearing to be incredibly in tune with one another’s feelings. In November, people were particularly taken aback by a baffling exchange between Cynthia and a journalist about the star’s epic musical number in the movie, “Defying Gravity.”In the clip, which almost immediately went viral, reporter Tracy E. Gilchrist told Cynthia: “I’ve seen this week, people are taking the lyrics of ‘Defying Gravity’ and really holding space with that and feeling power in that.”Cynthia immediately put her hand to her chest as she gently admitted: “Uh, I didn’t know that that was happening.” Appearing at a loss for words, she then choked up and said: “That’s really powerful, that’s what I wanted.”And once fans noticed this, they began to retrospectively examine just how often Ariana and Cynthia were reaching to hold one another’s hands while promoting Wicked. “Ari needs contact when there’s emotion,” she said. “She needs to be close, so I just be there for a second.”For reference, the footage was taken during a Wicked screening and Q&A in New York City back in November.An Ariana fan account posted this zoomed-in video on X earlier this week, and it didn’t take long for the reactions to come pouring in.One viral tweet that reposted the video and has racked up more than 7.8 million views and tens of thousands of likes and retweets reads: “OH BAAABY NOOOOO SOMEONE GRAB HER HAND RIGHT NOW.”The same user then shared a screenshot of Ari’s dejected-looking response in the video alongside a string of crying emojis. “this sequence of facial expressions is killing me,” somebody else wrote alongside a selection of screengrabs of Ari’s face in the clip. While another admitted: “I’d throw up if someone clipped me doing something like this and posted it.”And somebody else joked: “cynthia’s index finger hates seeing ariana grande coming.”OH BAAABY NOOOOO SOMEONE GRAB HER HAND RIGHT NOW pic.twitter.com/T3VTMX6alt
