TikTok star's shocking Ariana Grande mimicry sparks backlash

Paige Niemann is a 20-year-old influencer followed by over 10 million users on TikTok. She is also active on Instagram, where she is followed by nearly 800,000 people. Her adult content costs £11 per month, and Paige gained fame there because of her striking resemblance to the singer and actress Ariana Grande.

However, TikTok's appearance is not entirely natural. Paige has reportedly undergone numerous plastic surgeries to resemble the star of "Wicked" as closely as possible. In addition to the obvious visual similarities, she also tries to mimic Ariana's voice, copies her hairstyles, and imitates her style of movement. It goes without saying how unsettling this is, especially when combined with selling provocative photos on the blue platform.

The TikTok influencer Paige Niemann was invited to the ceremonial premiere of the film Companion. The influencer posed on the red carpet and shared photos online, but internet users heavily criticised her. At first, many were deceived into thinking they saw the accurate Ariana Grande.

"Bro, she wants to be Ariana so much." "That facial expression." "This is extremely weird." "Aren't you tired of pretending to be someone you're not?" "Girl, we've seen those other photos." "It's clear the expressions are forced and not natural at all. Why are you trying so hard?" "Paige, please stop pretending to be Ariana. She asked you not to do it. Why won't you listen, Paige?" - these kinds of comments people make, genuinely concerned about the TikToker's behaviour. They also maliciously post photos of Handsome Squidward under Niemann's original post. Paige has been trying to look like Ariana Grande since she was 14.

Fans speculate that Paige will soon have to face legal consequences for impersonating Ariana.
