Elvira puts Ariana Grande on BLAST about her diva behavior at a show & the singer responds (UPDATE)
The Mistress of the Dark hath spoken.
Updated 10/21
When you upset the Mistress of the Dark herself, you might find yourself in some pretty hot water -- which Ariana Grande may be learning all about after some heated accusations about her behavior at other people's shows.
Over the weekend, Cassandra Peterson aka Elvira made an appearance at Knott’s Berry Farm’s seasonal Halloween event, Knott’s Scary Farm.
While participating in a Q&A during the appearance, she was asked to detail some of her experiences meeting celebrities. When someone in the audience shouted “Ariana Grande,” Elvira laughed as she called out some of Grande’s shocking behavior.
“She [Grande] came [to a show] and she brought 20 guests,” said Elvira, adding the total ticket count came to 21 with Grande’s inclusion.
Adhering to the request, Elvira said Grande came backstage, then further “asked if I could take pictures with all of her friends and relatives she brought.”
Elvira went along with it again and took “a picture with every single one of them. I sign autographs for every single one of them.”
Once Elvira wrapped up her autographs and photos, she said she asked Grande if they could also have a photo, to which Grande allegedly responded, ‘No, I don’t really do that.’”
After an audible gasp and boos from the audience, Elvira added that Grande also added salt to the wound by leaving the show before it started -- though her 20 guests stayed behind to enjoy it.
Of course, the story has gathered many opinions, with some affirming there was no way Grande, who’s slated to play the “good witch” Glinda in the upcoming fim adaptation of Wicked, could be so rude. Others have Peterson's back in the matter and appreciate how she called out the celebrity diva.

UPDATE: The story quickly went viral and Grande responded in the comments on Peterson's post. "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," she wrote. "athank 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!"
