Ariana Grande responded this week to Elvira’s recent claim that the singer once turned down a photo with her.

Horror hostess-actress Elvira, real name Cassandra Peterson, recently went viral for saying at a Knotts Berry Farm event that one of her worst celebrity encounters happened when Grande brought a large group of friends and family to an Elvira performance and then refused to attend a performance by Elvira. photo with Peterson.

“I’ll tell you briefly… she came and 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 was later posted by Peterson. “We say, ‘Okay,’ and we give her the tickets. She comes backstage and asks if I can take pictures with all her friends and family members she brought.”

Peterson continues in the video by saying that she complied with the request and also signed autographs for the group. “Then I say to her, ‘Can we take a picture together?’ She says, “No, I don’t really do that.” ⁠Peterson went on to say that Grande left the show before Elvira’s set, leaving the rest of the group in the audience.

In a social media response to 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 chance to meet you because I had an anxiety attack and, as far as I can remember, left before the rest of my family (this was about 7 years ago and at the time I’m really not very good at being in public crowds or loud places)…but if I’m misremembering this moment, I sincerely apologize for offending you.
