Ethel Cain Not Just Racist but a Body Shamer – Lana Del Rey Blocks Cain on Instagram

The story began when Cain posted an Instagram Story noting she had been blocked by Del Rey.

Hours later, Del Rey shared a snippet of track 13 from her upcoming album, produced by Jack Antonoff, which included the lyric: “Ethel Cain hated my Instagram post.”

The line immediately caught fans’ attention and raised questions about the relationship between the two artists.

Del Rey soon addressed the situation directly. She alleged that Cain had engaged in body-shaming and made invasive comments behind the scenes.

“I didn’t know who Ethel was until a few years ago — when someone brought to my attention the disturbing and graphic side-by-side images she would often post of me next to unflattering creatures and cartoon characters, making constant comments about my weight,” Del Rey wrote.

“I was confused about what she was getting at. Then, when I heard what she was saying behind closed doors from mutual friends and how she was inserting herself into my personal life, I was definitely disturbed.”

This latest controversy comes on the heels of previous criticism Cain faced for making racist posts on Tumblr years ago. With Del Rey’s significantly larger fanbase now aware of Cain’s behavior, it could make it even harder for the singer to move past her earlier missteps.

While Cain has not publicly responded to the body-shaming allegations, the incident adds another layer to the ongoing dialogue about accountability and conduct in the music industry, particularly on social media.
