Ariana Grande Responds To Elvira's Comments About Her Bad Behavior!

Ariana Grande is speaking out after Elvira named her as her “least favorite” celebrity interaction.

Over the weekend, Cassandra Peterson — the woman behind everyone’s favorite Mistress of the Dark — revealed during a Halloween event at Knott’s Berry Farm in California that of all the celebs she’s even interacted with, the thank u, next singer was the rudest. The queen of Halloween recalled:

“She came and she brought 20 guests, so she wanted 21 tickets. We’re like, ‘Okay,’ so we give her the tickets and she comes backstage and she asks if I could take pictures with all of her friends and relatives she brought. I take a picture with every single one of them, I sign autographs for every single one of them. Then I say to her, ‘Can we take a photo together?’ She goes, ‘No, I don’t really do that.’ And then he left before my show started. All of her relatives stayed and she took off.”

Yikes, right??

But from the Yes, And? singer’s perspective, she wasn’t trying to be intentionally rude or dismissive. She was apparently having “an anxiety attack.” Cassandra shared the story on her Instagram over the weekend, and on Monday, Ariana commented explaining that the incident occurred seven years ago. That’s a key date, because it was just five months after the tragic 2017 Manchester bombing at one of her UK shows which left 22 people dead and hundreds other injured — and Ariana permanently traumatized.

The 7 Rings singer commented:

“i’m so disheartened to see this. i actually don’t even remember getting the chance to meet you because i had an anxiety attack and to my memory, left before the rest of my family (this was around 7 years ago and at the time i was really not great with being in public crowds or loud places)…”

She had to have still been going through a lot at that time! But regardless, she put everything aside and offered a sincere apology for how she may have acted:

“but if i’m misremembering this moment, i sincerely apologize for offending you so. thank you for always being so nice to my mom, she told me how lovely you were (she might have different feelings about that now but i’ll talk to her… clearly, we all have our days!) sending love always. you’ll always be our queen of halloween!”

What do YOU think of Ariana’s explanation and apology, Perezcious readers?? Being in such close proximity to the absolutely devastating Manchester bombing, we can’t help but cut her some slack despite her bad rep. But let us know your thoughts in the comments down below!
