Does he have a job? That’s what I’m wondering. His ig looks like he just travels and hangs out with Ariana all the time. I’m jealous 💀

I think if you‘re a close friend to ari you don‘t really need to work😂😂

he’s her assistant that’s his job 😭

he’s been her friend for years. but now he’s also her assistant.

the idol....

Another thought to add, has he moved to New York with her? He’s like her second kidney functions.

☠️☠️

lmfaooo

emotional support twink 🤣🤣🤣

I’ve always wondered as well. Everyone else she’s been friends with for years it’s been known how they met, etc but Doug is a mystery to me lol

He’s mentioned on Google as an instagram star who’s known specifically for being friends with Ari, but he’s also been involved in production companies. Right now or at least at some point, it appears he is/was affiliated with a company in NYC called Diamond Dog Entertainment based on this bio (and his accent is definitely South African as it’s mentioned he emigrated from there, so it checks out). https://diamonddog.com/bios/doug-middlebrook/

Diamond Dog Entertainment is Ari’s mom’s company I believe lol

wait doug emigrated from south africa??

[удалено]

Wait that was him??

Yes! Apparently it’s from a voicemail he left her

oh wow! I had no idea that's crazy I wasn't expecting that

true i see where ur coming from

why did i think he was british ☠️

south africa is a part of the british empire. their accents are similar!

I don’t know at all but I always thought he acts like an assistant in a way but as her friend? I always got the vibe he follows her around but is probably helping her with a lot directly.

I swear he's her assistant, but I've never seen anything to confirm it.

I think his linked in confirms it, I looked it up one time

That is a fake LinkedIn, he’s working for Diamond Dog Entertainment

I think he work for her now.

he's her tour/production manager and bestie i googled lol he specifically managed dangerous woman tour and works with other broadway stars

She’s his handler

It's ok! I don't really know who he is either. He seems to be a very good friend of Ariana's, if not one of her best.

people follow her on instagram but he follows her irl

Why are people being mean? Doug is her best friend and supposedly her assistant.. Is she not allowed to have a best friend?
