‘Big Bang Theory’ actress slams Ariana Grande for sexy ad
Although “Big Bang Theory” actress and mother Mayim Bialik, 38, claims her Sept. 12 blog post bashing singer Ariana Grande for her sexy new billboard advertisement is just social commentary, it’s pretty clear she has an issue with it.
Nothing personal against Ariana Grande or sexy women. Chill out, people. My @Kveller post was social commentary! Have a sense of humor!

In the Jewish parenting site Kveller post titled “The Problem With That Giant Billboard of Ariana Grande,” Bialik even says she doesn’t really know what Grande, 21, does for a living, but definitely doesn’t approve of her advertisement because she’d rather her kids not learn about sex from billboards.
“Based on the billboard, she sells lingerie,” Bialik says in the post. “Or stiletto heels. Or plastic surgery because every woman over 22 wishes she has that body, I’m sure. Why is she in her underwear on this billboard though? And if she has a talent (is she a singer?), then why does she have to sell herself in lingerie?”
The actress then goes on to explain why she has problems with other ads, including the “Masters of Sex” ads and ones belonging to the American clothing company Levi Strauss & Co.
“Am I a crotchety old lady? I guess so. But I just don’t understand why this is what ads need to look like. What good does it do for humanity or society? Why do I have to be OK with young women literally in lingerie on gigantic billboards? If I want to see women in lingerie, I can walk through any mall with a Victoria’s Secret.”
Grande just got finished handling rumors that she’s a diva and doesn’t love her fans, but hasn’t yet responded to Bialik’s post.
One can only guess what she would say, though.
anything and everything can be handled with either a mean girls quote, a first wives club quote, a to wong foo quote, or a showgirls quote

Grande has had two albums debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 charts in less than a year, with her new album “My Everything” one of them.
