Wicked drama: Elvira vs. Ariana Grande – The feud that haunted Halloween

Age-old beef between Elvira (Cassandra Peterson) and Ariana Grande has been given new life, causing the second "Wicked"-adjacent controversy in weeks.

At a recent event, Peterson detailed an incident that took place seven years ago with someone whose name "rhymes with Pariana Mande," which ended up being a shady encounter that planted a seed for a deep-rooted grudge that is now yielding poisoned fruit, just in time for Halloween.

A clip of Peterson describing her less-than-pleasant exchange with Grande so many years ago has amassed millions of views on TikTok, resulting in an after-the-fact apology from the actor and pop star, in which she blamed her rudeness on an anxiety attack.

What exactly happened between Peterson and Grande? Salon explains it all below.
