Ariana Grande and her manager Scooter Braun do not want you to think that she's a diva. After media reports surfaced yesterday (Sept. 8) that the "Break Free" singer issued lengthy demands for an Australian photo shoot and then walked out, she and her manager are firing back against the rumors.
Braun (who also manages the likes of Justin Bieber, Dan+Shay and Cody Simpson) immediately logged onto his Twitter to defend Grande's character to his 3.75 million followers.
". @ArianaGrande is kind, caring, and more than anything she is a great human being. Some people make up rumors for a living....so... saying things about Ari comes with her now being a big star. But saying she isn't a good person that ain't gonna fly," Braun said in a series of tweets he branded as a #twittervent.
"Just yesterday... she did an impromptu meet and greet for all her fans that almost got her kicked out of her hotel after a 14 hour work day. Why? because she knows u care so she does too. There is Zero truth to anything different. Enough is enough."
Grande herself was also in rumor control mode today (Sept. 9) during an Australian radio interview.
"I did just hear about something 10 minutes ago that was totally untrue. There's no record to be set straight," Grande said. "It was just a photographer or something who got mad at me because I left to change my outfit mid-photo shoot because I didn't like my top. I was like, 'Oh, I'll be right back!' and then I came back and he had left. I was like, 'Oh, s**t!' Then he came out and said all these ridiculous, untrue things about me. I was like, 'That's not real. That's nonsense!'"
Grande then dismissed the "hater," saying that her family, friends and fans know who she really is.
She did not, however, address all those question restrictions... so, can we ask her about Mariah Carey or not?

Grande is currently in Australia promoting her new album My Everything, which was released on Aug. 25.
