Variations like Ariana Grande Apology and Ariana Grande and Elvira Incident are included.
Ariana Grande has issued an apology to Cassandra Peterson, famously known as horror icon Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, after an incident involving a meet-and-greet. Cassandra Peterson recently shared that Ariana had requested tickets for herself and her family to attend one of her shows. After taking the time to pose for photos and sign autographs for Ariana’s friends and relatives, Peterson claimed that Ariana refused to pose for a picture with her and left before the performance began.
The video of Cassandra sharing the story has gone viral, drawing mixed responses from fans and the general public. Some have expressed support for Elvira, while others have defended Ariana, citing her personal struggles. Peterson joked during a panel discussion about the encounter, where another speaker laughed and said Ariana was “playing the wrong witch,” referring to her role as Good Witch Glinda in the upcoming film adaptation of Wicked.
Ariana responded to the claims via Instagram, saying she was “disheartened” to read the comments. She explained that she had left the event early because she was experiencing an anxiety attack. Ariana said she didn’t “even remember” getting the opportunity to meet Cassandra that night, explaining that the event occurred about seven years ago, after the tragic terror attack following her concert in Manchester.
Ariana admitted that, at the time, she struggled to be comfortable in public crowds or loud places. She concluded her message by apologizing sincerely to Elvira: “If I’m misremembering this moment, I sincerely apologize for offending you so.” She went on to thank Cassandra for being nice to her mom, mentioning how her mother had commented on Cassandra’s kindness.
Ariana ended her response by sending love to Cassandra and stating that “you’ll always be our queen of Halloween.” This gesture aimed to mend any misunderstandings and show respect for the horror icon. Despite the tensions, Ariana maintained her support for Cassandra Peterson.
In addition to the viral video of Cassandra’s story, fan edits of Wicked movie posters have been making headlines during a recent promotional tour. The edits, generated using AI, transformed images of Ariana and her co-star Cynthia Erivo into animated versions of the two characters fighting. Furthermore, some edited versions removed Cynthia’s eyes, which led to criticism from the actresses. Cynthia expressed her disapproval, calling these edits degrading. Ariana agreed, stating that fan edits can often go “too far” and added that she had “so much respect” for Cynthia.
The exchange between Ariana Grande and Cassandra Peterson highlights the complexities of celebrity interactions and the impact that misunderstandings can have, especially under the public’s watchful eye. Both stars have voiced their opinions, with Ariana showing remorse and respect toward Elvira.
