Ariana Grande: Wicked star apologises for alleged actress snub

In her response on Cassandra Peterson’s post, external, Ariana said she didn’t “even remember” getting the chance to meet the star.

She said the event would have happened about seven years ago, after her concert in Manchester was targeted in a terror attack.

At the time, Ariana said, she “was really not great with being in public crowds or loud places”.

“But if I’m misremembering this moment, I sincerely apologise for offending you so.

“Thank you for being so nice to my mum, 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!).”

She signed off “sending love always”, adding “you’ll always be our queen of Halloween”.

The video of Cassandra Peterson, who’s also appeared as a guest judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race, discussing the interaction, recently went viral.

She’s heard laughing when someone else on-stage says Ariana is “playing the wrong witch” – referencing her role as Good Witch Glinda in the upcoming film adaption of Wicked.
