Ariana Grande responded this week to Elvira‘s recent claim that the singer once declined a photograph along with her.
Horror hostess character actress Elvira, real name Cassandra Peterson, recently went viral for saying at a a Knotts Berry Farm event that certainly one of her worst celebrity encounters occurred when Grande brought a big group of family and friends to an Elvira performance after which refused to take a photograph with Peterson.
“I’ll inform you briefly… she got here and he or she brought 20 guests, so she wanted 20, 21 tickets,” the actress, who also goes by Mistress of the Dark, says in a video shared online and later posted by Peterson. “We’re like, ‘OK,’ and we give her the tickets. She comes backstage and he or she asks if I could take pictures with all of her friends and relatives she brought.”
Peterson continues within the video by saying that she complied with the request, and signed autographs for the group as well. “Then I say to her, ‘Can we take a photograph together?’ She goes, ‘Nah, I don’t really try this,’” she says. Peterson went on to say that Grande left the show before Elvira’s set, leaving the remainder of the group within the audience.
In a social media comment on Elvira’s post, Grande responded to Peterson’s claim, writing, “i’m so disheartened to see this. i actually don’t even remember getting the prospect to satisfy you because i had an anxiety attack and to my memory, left before the remainder of my family (this was around 7 years ago and on the time i used to be really not great with being in public crowds or loud places)… but when i’m misremembering this moment, i sincerely apologize for offending you so.”
