Cassandra Peterson, who’s best known for her character Elvira, recounted meeting the singer — and the not so nice way Grande allegedly dismissed her after asking to take a photo together.
Glinda the not so good witch?
Cassandra Peterson, who’s best known for her spooky alter ego Elvira, opened up about her “worst celebrity encounter” while speaking to a crowd in a video that just went viral on social media — and it was none other than Wicked star, Ariana Grade.
“I’ll tell you briefly,” Elvira said after another presenter referenced Grande’s infamous donut encounter in 2015. “She came and she brought 20 guests, so she wanted 20, 21 tickets. We’re like, ‘OK,’ and we give her the tickets. She comes backstage and she asks if I could take pictures with all of her friends and relatives [that] she brought.”
She continued, “I take a picture with every single one of them. I sign autographs for every single one of them. Then I say to her, ‘Can we take a photo together?’ She goes, ‘Nah, I don’t really do that.'”
