Ariana Grande Apologizes Following ‘Disrespectful’ Encounter with Halloween Queen Elvira
The iconic TV vampire has shared her bittersweet encounter with the pop star
Cassandra Peterson, better known for playing Elvira (the iconic TV vampire), recently opened up about a chaotic encounter she had with ‘We Can’t Be Friends’ singer Ariana Grande. According to Cassandra, things didn’t go exactly as expected:
“She came and she brought 20 guests… she comes backstage and she asks if I can take pictures with all of her friends and relatives she brought. I take a picture with every single one of them, I sign autographs for every single one of them. Then I say to her, ‘Can we take a photo together?’ And she goes, ‘No, I don’t really do that.’”
Cassandra also shared that Ariana didn’t stay for the whole show and left before it was over, which didn’t sit well with her, as she admitted in her post.
Elvira says that Ariana Grande declined to take a photo with her after bringing people backstage to her show:

Ariana Grande Apologizes
“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.”
Ariana also took the opportunity to thank Cassandra (Elvira) for being so kind to her family, noting that her mom still remembers that moment clearly: “Thank 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!”
Ariana Grande responds to Elvira claiming that Ariana refused to take a photo with her after bringing guests backstage to her show:

The truth is, seven years ago, Ariana Grande was going through a tough time. She had just experienced the tragic bombing at her Manchester concert, where 22 people lost their lives. That event had a deep impact on her and changed how she interacted with the world. A year later, she also had to say goodbye to Mac Miller, her longtime ex-partner, who passed away from an accidental overdose.
