Ariana Grande has offered a heartfelt apology to Elvira after the horror hostess claimed the pop star had been disrespectful and snubbed her for a picture during a past encounter. Elvira, also known as Cassandra Peterson, addressed the incident during a Q&A at Knott’s Scary Farm in Buena Park, CA, and shared her account of the story on Instagram, along with screenshots detailing the scenario.
Grande quickly responded in the comments of Elvira’s post, expressing her dismay. “I’m so disheartened to see this,” she wrote, addressing the alleged snub. The 31-year-old singer explained that the incident occurred roughly seven years ago and that she doesn’t remember the encounter due to an anxiety attack she experienced at the time, as per reports Deadline.
“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,” Grande explained. She noted that during that period, she struggled with being in public crowds or loud places, which may have contributed to the misunderstanding.
Despite her uncertainty about the details, Grande sincerely apologized to Elvira. “If I’m misremembering this moment, I sincerely apologize for offending you so. Thank you for being so nice to my mom—she told me how lovely you were.” Grande added a touch of humor, suggesting that her mom’s feelings might have changed after hearing about the incident but promised to talk to her.
To close her message, Grande expressed admiration for Elvira, writing, “You’ll always be our Queen of Halloween!” The pop star’s thoughtful and gracious response seems to have cleared the air, showing her willingness to acknowledge any unintended slight and her deep respect for the iconic Halloween figure.
