Pop star Ariana Grande has gone public in apologizing over horror icon Cassandra Peterson’s claims that the pop star denied taking a picture with her after meeting at a Halloween party. The claim emerged when Peterson said she was hurt by the snub that happened between them during the course of an interview recently.
Her gothic persona Elvira has made Peterson popular over the years. She said she approached Grande at a glamorous event where she hoped to capture a moment together, but Grande allegedly shot down her request and ended up embarrassing Peterson. “It was a huge shock because I respected the pop star and therefore expected to get some interaction with warmth,” said Peterson.
Upon the allegations, Grande took to social media to apologize directly to Peterson and her fans. “I truly apologize for the confusion,” Grande wrote in a heartfelt post on Instagram. “I have always admired Elvira and everything she embodies. I never wanted to hurt or offend anyone, especially not someone whom I have admired.”
Grande detailed the context surrounding the incident, stating that she believes the party was just too wild, and that she may unintentionally have presented the image that she did not wish to talk about. “I’m such a huge fan of Elvira and was extremely excited to be within her zone. Unfortunately, the event was so chaotic, and I didn’t want to dismiss engaging with people, especially icons like her.”
Peterson respond graciously to Grande’s apology. She mentioned in a subsequent message, “Thank you, Ariana, for your nice words. It’s easy to misunderstand things in such busy environments. I appreciate your apology and hope we can meet properly one day!”
The feud of Grande and Peterson may be said to have put an end to this vagueness because her fans could finally breathe in relief after the matter had been graciously resolved between the two stars. The apology from Grande reflects that she is responsible towards her fans as well as public figures and believes that even the most influential celebrities can make amends for a thoughtless misunderstanding.
This public reconciliation sends the right message on her part-shows respect to her peers and attempts to uphold a positive image in Hollywood, further inking her as one of the most down-to-earth pop stars in the industry.
