7 year oldIn an Instagram post, the singer captioned a snapshot, “when you’re cute but you’re also the hardest working 23 year old human being on earth #cute #butalso #CEO #unf—kwitable #haventsleptinyears.”
She also linked to the photo on Twitter, writing, “cute but also ceo #unf—witable #haventsleptinyears.”
Not everyone was impressed with Grande’s self-proclaimed work ethic.
One Twitter user posted, “Yes Ariana Grande is the hardest working 23 year old on earth not the ones struggling making 60 cents a day trying to provide for their families.”
“I really like ariana but ‘hardest working’? somebody who has as much time as her to post all day on her snapchat constantly says otherwise,” another posted.
The Instagram comments weren’t much better.
One user wrote, “Is that a joke? I would say a brain surgeon works harder, a soldier, a scientist … just lost all respect for her (not that I had much anyway).”
Another scoffed, “You don’t know the struggle for a normal human being. #learnrealwork.”
Though it’s likely that the Side to Side singer was speaking in hyperbole, her diva demands, including to be only be photographed from one side, don’t add much to her credibility.
These are just a few reasons why Ariana Grande has a diva rep:
• When Ariana Grande’s life coach quit because of her attitude, it didn’t come as a shock to many. An insider said, “He just couldn’t take it anymore. Everything people are saying about her is true.”
• Grande once nixed an interview when the journalist had the gall to ask about anyone other than the Problem singer herself. A source tells Page Six, “First I asked about Demi Lovato, and she stopped the interview and asked me not to ask questions about Demi. In the same interview she stopped me again when I asked about [former Nickelodeon co-star] Victoria Justice and said she wouldn’t answer questions about her.”
• While Grande often appears sweet to her fans, it’s not always the case. A source dished that she said she wished they would “all f**king die” at a recent event.
• Even Grande’s hair is a grand pain: A source told Page Six, “[Grande] was so obsessed with her hair that she had it dyed every three days, and the big ponytail is fake.”
• Ariana Grande famously will only be photographed from the left.
• E!’s Giuliana Rancic confirmed Grande’s too-big-for-her-britches behaviour and incessant need to be shot from the left. “I feel like where there is smoke, there is fire,” Rancic said of Grande’s team bullying the longtime red carpet interviewer to get the singer’s perfect angle. “It was like you either get on the other side or we don’t do an interview.”
• A source told Page Six: “Having a preferred side is nothing new. Barbra Streisand, Mariah Carey and even Tina Fey have them. The difference is that normally a publicist will come up and politely ask that you shoot X from X side. With Ariana’s team, it is a demand from the beginning, three people come to make sure before Ariana enters the room. Instead of coming off like an assertive woman who knows what she wants, it makes Ariana seem like a toddler throwing a tantrum and her parents handling the dirty work for her.”
