Diva Ariana Grande Cancels Australian Press Photo Shoots After Insisting List of Demands – Reports

Ariana Grande cancelled her Australian media photo shoot after ordering a list of diva demands, according to reports.

The 21-year-old American singer is currently in Australia to promote her album “My Everything,” but there wouldn’t be a lot of coverage of her visit, if rumours of her walk out are to be believed.

Apparently, the former “Sam & Cat” star walked out from her media session in Sydney on Monday after her long list of demands were not met.

According to AAP, she left the first scheduled shoot of the day when became upset with how she had looked on camera. Her entourage then sent the rest of the photographers home after letting them wait for an hour in a hotel room.

Grande reappeared after a while, wearing a new outfit. She seemed great after that little episode, even greeting everyone in the room and shaking hands with them. She was still exacting in her demands, though, asking to see the camera’s shot and making sure that she looked good in every angle shot before she answered questions.

News Corp, on the other hand, had a different take. Those who were granted an audience with the Nickelodeon actress were told to steer clear of certain topics during their interview.

They were not to ask questions about her current and former relationships, about Mariah Carey, about her defunct TV show “Sam & Cat” or her co-star Jennette McCurdy, her collaboration with Justin Bieber and her grandfather’s death.

Photographers were also told at the last minute that they should not use natural light and only shoot from the left side of Grande’s face.

When the pint-sized singer/actress sat down for mX newspaper, she checked all shots after they were taken. She asked for those shots that she wasn’t pleased with to be deleted. She then complained to her reps that she was unhappy with how her top looked in the shots, and so she left the hotel suite.

After 20 minutes of waiting for Grande to reappear, one of her reps returned and demanded to the mX photographer to delete all his photos. The photographer refused, and was later approached at his car by a member of her security team to insist that he do so. The security staffer reportedly attempted to prevent the photog from closing the tailgate on his car.

Grande did not return after that.

This isn’t the first time Grande was called a diva.

The Daily Star claimed that she was a “total nightmare” at the backstage of the “Stand Up to Cancer” telecast on Friday.

Similar with the aforementioned reports from Australian media, Grande apparently “demanded to be shot only on her left side.” She was also “consistently late” and had “shouted at crew members for staring at her.”

The show’s exec producer Joel defended Grande, though, telling E! News that the diva report is “completely false.”

“Ariana was wonderful to work with, very gracious and a consummate professional to our team and everyone at the Stand Up to Cancer telecast.

“Her moving performance of ‘My Everything,’ which she sang in honour of her grandfather who passed away from cancer, was one of the most emotional moments of the night. We were honoured to have her join us.”

She wasn’t gracious when she met with fans, though, as a father of meet-and-greet winners recounted on his blog post.

According to the father, Grande didn’t bother smiling for his daughters, his fans who won an MTV meet-and-greet contest with her. She only posed for photos for a brief moment, and had demanded to the young girls to delete the shots when she wasn’t pleased with the outcome.

Grande claimed that she was just emotional because the fan gave her a photo of her and her grandpa, who died on July 14.
