Ariana Grande has apologized to Elvira after the horror hostess shared an encounter where the pop singer was allegedly disrespectful towards her.
During a Q&A at Knott’s Scary Farm in Buena Park, CA, Elvira was asked about her shadiest celebrity encounter. She named Grande, recalling that she attended one of her events and brought 20 guests, asking for 21 tickets. Grande came backstage and asked if her friends and family could join her, and Elvira claimed that she had taken a photo with all of them except for Grande, who had turned her down.
“Then I say to her, ‘Can we take a photo together?’ and she goes, ‘No, I don’t really do that,’” said Elvira. In a clip of the Q&A that went viral on TikTok, Elvira continued by saying that Grande then left before her show even started and that her family remained.
Elvira posted screenshots of an article recapping the encounter on her Instagram, prompting Grande to apologize and explain that the incident took place seven years ago and that she left early because she was suffering from an anxiety attack.
“I’m so disheartened to see this,” wrote Grande. “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)… but if i’m misremembering this moment, i sincerely apologize for offending you so. thank you for 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!”
Grande is currently gearing up to star in the big-screen adaptation of “Wicked,” which is slated to hit theaters on Nov. 22.
