Ethan Slater Is Not Wicked
Ariana Grande would like you to know that Ethan Slater is not an evil guy — he just had wickedness thrust upon him! In the wake of wild controversy surrounding how the two co-stars got together (affair rumors! Baby-desertion speculation! Home-wrecking allegations!), Grande is standing up for her man. “No one on this earth tries harder or spreads themselves thinner to be there for the people that he loves and cares about,” she tells Vanity Fair. “There is no one on this earth with a better heart, and that is something that no bullshit tabloid can rewrite in real life.” (Does anyone else think this claim is Malala Yousafzai shade?)
Grande also wants you to know that you do not know what happened when they got together (even though it does look as if he cheated on his wife while she was postpartum), but she didn’t elaborate on what did happen when they got together: “The most disappointing part was to see so many people believe the worst version of it,” she says, adding that she “will never go into certain details.” Okay, but that does make it seem as though there was, in fact, drama, Ariana. Still, even the most well-intentioned person on earth with the very best heart can be embroiled in red-hot scandal when their intentions are misrepresented in public. Wait — isn’t that what Wicked is about?
