Ariana Grande slammed by Elvira for ‘snubbing her’ during meet and greet

Ariana Grande has been slammed by Elvira for allegedly snubbing her during a meet and greet with the Queen of Halloween.

The Mistress of the Dark star, real name Cassandra Peterson, 73, spilled the tea during an event at Knott’s Scary Farm – where she claimed Grande, 31, had requested ’20 tickets’ to her show – but then refused to take a photo with the actress.

The story began as Elvira was asked about her her worst celebrity encounters at the Q&A session – and quipped the star’s name rhymed with ‘Pariana Mande.’

She continued: ‘She came [to my show] and she brought 20 guests. So she wanted 20 or 21 tickets and we were like, “Okay!” and we gave her the tickets.

Peterson said she invited Grande and her entourage backstage where the Yes, And? singer ‘asked if she would take pictures with all of her friends and relatives’.

Peterson said: ‘So I take a picture with every single one of them. I sign autographs for every single one of them.

‘And then I say to her, “Could we take a photo together?’ and she goes, ‘No, I don’t really do that.”‘

‘And then she left before my show started but all her relatives stayed.’

Elvira’s former show director Tom Vanucci added: ‘It’s all true!’

Grande hit back at Elvira’s claims – commenting on a post promoting the interview that she had an ‘anxiety attack’ and could not remember meeting the actress.

She wrote: ‘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)… 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!’

DailyMail.com has contacted Grande’s representatives for comment. 

Last year Peterson revealed Brad Pitt let his 105-year-old neighbor live rent-free on his former $39m LA estate for years.

The Oscar-winning actor who sold his Los Feliz, California compound after nearly three decades in March 2023, was the perfect neighbor to his elderly friend after his wife passed away – allowing him to become a tenant on the estate.

Peterson who became next-door neighbors with Pitt after she sold him her home in 1994, said Pitt had built up his estate by acquiring surrounding properties, one of which belonged to a man in his early nineties. 

She said: ‘He was very, very kind to the husband. His wife passed away and the husband, John, lived there. I know that Brad allowed him to live there without paying anything until he died.

She continued: ‘She came [to my show] and she brought 20 guests. So she wanted 20 or 21 tickets and we were like, “Okay!” and we gave her the tickets’ – Grande pictured May 2024

‘It was kind of funny because John lived to be 105. I imagine Brad was thinking well, you know, he can live there till he dies, which might be any minute now.

Peterson said the actor was always ‘kind and sweet’ to her throughout their years as neighbors, and reveals she ‘almost fainted’ when she saw the star shirtless and punching a bag in preparation for 1999 film, Fight Club.

She added: ‘I remember he goes, “Hey, how are you?” and I’m like, “Huh?” I couldn’t talk. I was turning red. I felt like I was fainting,’ she continues. ‘He’s just so stunningly, stunningly handsome — and nice, to top it off.’
