Ariana Grande's diva behavior stirs rebuke from Giuliana Rancic & comment by reporters and industry insiders
Pint-sized pop star Ariana Grande had a choice word for fans after a recent radio show visit: Die!
Confidenti@l has learned that while visiting a Manhattan radio station this summer, the 21-year-old Better Left Unsaid singer shouldve left her thoughts unsaid.
She did autographs and pics and was all smiles until she got into the elevator, a stunned industry insider tells us. And as soon as the doors shut she said, I hope they all fking die.
Allegations of Grandes obnoxious attitude are nothing new. But theyre suddenly getting their own spotlight now that a nasty pattern has emerged.
The Boca Raton-born mini-divas attitude was called into question in Australia last week when the pop tart left a meet-and-greet because she reportedly didnt like the way she was being photographed. Before the shoot, her camp is said to have told photographers, Dont use natural light and Do shoot only from the left side of her face.
This came after Grandes camp reportedly told Aussie journalists they would not be allowed to ask the singer about her dating life, her recently canceled Nickelodeon show, comparisons to Mariah Carey or rumors of a collaboration with Justin Bieber.
Will it surprise anyone to learn that Grande is being managed by Biebers smarmy mentor Scooter Braun?
E!s Giuliana Rancic reacted to Grandes debacle Down Under by recalling that the singer was problematic at last years AMAs, when she nudged the TV host out of her way to make sure the camera got her good side. Rancic more or less wants to know who the hell this newcomer thinks she is.
I just felt like its one thing if its Mariah, she said. Whatever it takes to get Mariah to do an interview.
But when youre new on the block, when youre trying to earn your stripes, youre young, you just gotta do what you gotta do, Rancic suggested.
Reports of Grandes grouchiness surfaced earlier this month at a Stand up to Cancer benefit in L.A., where the U.K.s Daily Star reported she was a total nightmare backstage. Event organizers later released a statement defending their celeb guest.
Grande further dissed fans Monday by offering a $495 photo op for fans during her upcoming Honeymoon Tour, but stipulated that shoots are for groups of four to six people, not individuals.
Really? exclaimed one media industry tipster. Bieber, Miley, Britney, Katy Perry all did individual pics when they sold these packages.
Reps for Grande declined to comment.
My immediate thought was "ditto bish"
