You could see she was devastated.  Who wouldn't be.  Great she is able to help.

@GSPgirl She was a victim herself, probably in no shape to console others. I have a feeling that she could have tackled the terrorist and that still wouldn't be good enough for some.


@Maudelyn  ITA! 

 

Although it doesn't surprise me to see some questioning WHY AG will be giving a benefit concert.

 

What, pray tell, have those naysayers done not only during this tragedy but during any other tragedy-be it weather related, terrorism, or just plain everyday donations to someplace such as a food bank???

Re: 💛Ariana Grande: Benefit Concert 💛

100% percent of the proceeds from this benefit concert goes to the victims and their families. Kudos for that.

 

She's young and had no idea how to respond to such a traumatic event and I'm not sure that many of us here would've known how to react to a horrible situation like that  either.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if she also visits survivors in hospitals while she's there for this concert.

 

I think her initial response to return to the US (safe ground) was a natural 'fight or flight' response and I can't blame her for that.

 

Our most basic instinct is to survive.

 

And I don't feel this way because I'm a fan, I've never even heard any of her music.

RIP, dear victims and sending wishes for complete recoveries to the injured.  Nice of AG, too. ...............In general: ( Now-a-days, I'm not crazy about any crowds in general, anywhere or any place.  No matter who, what, why, etc.  I'm sure glad that TV is available.  Easy and comfortable to watch almost anything on TV without having to attend.  I enjoy watching golf tournaments via TV; much better than actually being there, following a golfer around or sitting in the hot sun on bleachers.  Been there; done that. ) 

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

She is a victim. Totally. However the business requires damage control. If you have not been on social media , she got hammered. Not for the donut licking but for her remarks at the time. She has also been hammered for leaving the UK and landing in Florida in full makeup the next morning. If she can grow from this and do good then she deserves to try.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

I saw no "full makeup."  She still had on her extra long eye lashes but that's it.  Google the pics @Nancy Drew and you could see for yourself.  She was so sad and looked drained.....

I saw the pictures on People FB. I could not tell one way or another. It was in the comments section where she got hammered for the full make up.
