Ariana Grande's polygraph confessions: Moon landing doubts and botox truths

Polygraph tests have long been used for various purposes. Jealous partners test their loved ones for potential infidelity, and police officers and prosecutors check suspects. Recently, the polygraph has increasingly been used in the entertainment industry as an interesting twist in interviews and meetings with celebrities.

Currently, in the United States, the promotion of the movie "Wicked" is underway, in which Ariana Grande plays the role of the witch Glinda Upland. The singer is joined by Cynthia Erivo, who plays the character Elphaba. The women are currently in high demand by the media, promoting the latest production they are involved in. In an interview for "Vanity Fair," the stars were asked to use a polygraph. Ariana was asked by her on-screen partner, among other things, whether she believes in the Moon landing. The singer seemed confused, confirmed by her reaction and the question: "Jesus Christ. What do you take me for?". After a moment, the singer stated that she believed the moon landing was not a hoax, although the answer was "ambiguous" based on the person operating the polygraph.

The American star was also questioned about undergoing plastic surgery. Ariana Grande admitted that she had used Botox and fillers, but she stopped undergoing treatments four years ago. Cynthia Erivo asked about breast augmentation, nose jobs, or chin implants. Grande said she had not undergone any of the described procedures, which the polygraph confirmed. The star added that although she did not undergo plastic surgery, she supports people who take advantage of such conveniences. The artist also added that the interview was "the best day of her life" because she could shut the mouths of doctors and social media haters who accused her of undergoing cosmetic procedures.

Ariana Grande's reaction is proof of how problematic it is to look for the effects of plastic surgeons' work on the faces of artists, celebrities, politicians, and ordinary people. Regularly on the internet, one can encounter "experts" who analyse various faces and bodies and list the procedures said to have been performed on a given person. This introduces complexes to the people being talked about and listeners who look similar, suggesting something could be improved or fixed.
