Elvira, the Mistress of the Dark, has called out Ariana Grande for diva-like behavior during a backstage meet-and-greet at one of her events. According to Elvira, Ariana attended with about 20 guests and asked if they could take photos with the horror icon, a request Elvira happily agreed to. However, when Elvira asked for a picture in return, Ariana refused, saying, “No, I don’t really do that.” The singer then left before the show started, while her family stayed to enjoy the event.
Elvira shared the story during a Q&A session at Knott’s Scary Farm, which sparked strong reactions online. Some fans criticized Ariana, likening the incident to her infamous donut-licking controversy, while others defended her, downplaying the refusal and questioning if it was really that big of a deal. The situation has ignited debate over celebrity behavior at public events.
While some sided with Elvira, praising her openness, others took a more lighthearted approach, with a few even asking, “Who’s Elvira?” Despite the mixed responses, the moment has gained significant attention, with people discussing how stars like Ariana handle fan interactions, especially when it comes to respecting other public figures.
Amid the controversy, Ariana Grande’s popularity is still riding high. As she gears up for the release of the Wicked movie in November, where she plays Glinda the Good Witch, fans are eagerly awaiting the film’s debut, and it seems unlikely that the backlash from this incident will affect her star power.
