All About Ethan Slater’s Ex-Wife, Lilly Jay, & Her Response to His Ariana Grande Romance

“How Does My Divorce Make You Feel?” Lilly-Jay speaks out on motherhood and her divorce with Ethan Slater
I hadn’t realised she was a therapist - loss of anonymity in such an emotionally revealing way is a HUGE deal in that line of work. Ethan both destroyed her peace as a new mother and utterly mangled her ability to have a blank slate with her patients. This is a brave article for her to have written, and I hope it helps her reclaim some power from the situation. It says a lot that her primary worry is how this will affect her patients’ ability to connect to her, and not how compromising it is to have the most shattering experience of her life made public. She seems like a gem of a person, and an equally good therapist. No doubt she can do better than SpongeBob anyway. Edit: it’s such an indictment that most media coverage omits Lilly-Jay being a highly qualified professional with a doctorate?? She’s a superb writer and I hope she continues to publish.

Lily Jay, Ethan Slater's ex-wife speaks out
this article broke my heart. lily didn't say a single bad thing about ariana or ethan in this article, only focused on her own thoughts and feelings on the situation, and some ariana fans are still shitting on her telling her to "get over it." how on earth is that a fair thing to say? (this isn't a dig at all ari fans whatsoever. just the ones that are coming at this woman for speaking her own truth. plz don't hate me <3) More on reddit.com
