“I’m so disappointed to see this.”
Ariana Grande has apologised to Elvira after the horror hostess called her out for rude backstage behaviour.
During a Q&A at Knott’s Scary Farm in Buena Park, CA, Elvira was asked about her shadiest celebrity encounter.
She named Ariana Grande, recalling that she came backstage after one of her events, and asked if her friends and family could join her. Elvira claimed that she had taken a photo with all of them except for Ariana, who turned her down.
In her video Elvira recalled: “Then I say to her, ‘Can we take a photo together?’ and she replied, ‘No, I don’t really do that."
In a clip of the Q&A that went viral on TikTok, Elvira continued by saying that Ariana then left before her show even started while her family remained.

After Elvira shared this encounter on social media, it prompted Ariana to take to the comments to apologise.
The pop superstar explained that the event had happened 7 years ago and that she had to leave early due to an anxiety attack.
“I’m so disheartened to see this,” Ariana wrote in a statement. “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!”
Ariana Grande is currently gearing up to star in the big-screen adaptation of Wicked, coming to cinemas on November 22nd.
