Dr Lilly Jay, a doctor, found herself in a challenging situation. Her ex-husband, Ethan Slater, started dating a famous singer, Ariana Grande. Slater and Jay moved to London for Slater’s work. But soon after, Ethan left Lilly and their baby.

People know about this story because Lilly wrote about it in her essay for ‘The Cut’. Some people expected her to talk badly about Grande in her writing. But she did not do that. Instead, she shared what it was like when her private life suddenly became very public.

In her essay, Dr Jay also talked about her work. She is a psychotherapist, a person who helps others with their problems. She liked that her job did not involve her personal life. But after her divorce, that was not possible anymore.

From her essay, we understand that Dr Jay does not see Grande as her enemy. She refuses to be part of any gossip. She is also not angry at her ex. Instead, she is focused on taking good care of her son. Dr Jay’s story teaches us that women do not have to be enemies, even in difficult situations.
