Ariana Grande slammed “disreputable tabloids” for spreading rumors that she began dating actor Ethan Slater before he separated from his now ex-wife.
The singer-actress in a new interview published Monday acknowledged the controversy surrounding her courtship with her Wicked co-star, whom she began dating in 2023 shortly after they each split from their respective spouses.
“It definitely doesn’t get any easier, seeing some of the negativity that was birthed by disreputable tabloids,” the singer-actress told Vanity Fair, pointing to her absence from the public eye while working on Wicked as part of the media frenzy. “I understand why it was a field day for the tabloids to sort of create something that paid their bills.”
