The 'Wicked' star's brother Frankie took to X to defend his sister after someone started a rumor about Ariana being a cannibal to deter fans from buying concert tickets.

People on the internet have started bizarre rumors about pop star Ariana Grande—and her brother Frankie is not having it.

Influencer and former Big Brother star Frankie Grande took to social media to defend his sister after a rumor somehow started that she's a cannibal. Yes, a cannibal.


Grande took to X to put fans in place, and to let them know the rumor doesn't even make sense anyway given Ariana Grande's typical diet.

Grande wrote:

"HAHAHAHAHAHA. Wow! This might be the most creative and lowest y’all have ever gone. Reaching new depths daily!"
"Listen, I know my sister’s been eating the girls up for years but this a bit extreme!"
"Besides, she’s vegan. 🌱 "
"See you on tour! 🌈"

How exactly the rumor got started isn't clear, but it seems to have been an effort to deter people from buying tickets to Ariana Grande's upcoming tour. The lower the sales, the easier the tickets are to get for true fans, of course.

It's also believed to be a possible reference to a story Ariana Grande told to actor Penn Badgley during a recent interview on his podcast Podcrushed.

Grande said that earlier in her career when she was asked at a fan event which person living or dead she'd like to have dinner with, she answered Jeffrey Dahmer, the notorious cannibal murderer, because she had a childhood fascination with serial killers.

Ariana Grande's fans were 100% on board with his defense of his sister and applauded him for taking pranksters to task.







In the end, it seems like all this online rumor-mongering might have been for naught.

A day after Frankie Grande's tweet, the plot thickened when Ariana posted an announcement on her Instagram Story that seemed to indicate she was canceling or postponing the tour as she continues working on the two film adaptations of the Broadway musical Wicked, the first of which premiers in November.

Grande wrote that she has "decided to put a pin in all things that are not Wicked for now." Typical cannibal response, of course.

Conservative mouthpieces Candace Owens and Meghan McCain are feuding over the late far-right activist Charlie Kirk, and things got really messy after Owens shared one of Kirk's alleged text messages to her.

Kirk was assassinated in September while speaking at an event in Utah. In the months since, Owens has distanced herself from many figures on the far right, accusing them of exploiting his legacy—at times even sharing private communications she had with him.

Kent, a former Green Beret and political candidate with ties to right-wing extremists, was confirmed last July in a 52–44 vote to lead the National Counterterrorism Center, where he oversaw efforts to analyze and detect terrorist threats.

Gavin Newsom's Wife Claps Back Hard In Viral Video After Trump Mocks Newsom's Learning Disability

Jennifer Siebel Newsom—the wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom—criticized President Donald Trump after he claimed her husband's dyslexia should disqualify him from being president, calling Trump's comments "extremely ignorant and offensive."

Newsom has frequently spoken about living with dyslexia, a common learning disability that can make reading more difficult and affect spelling and speech. He has said he prefers not to rely on teleprompters because of the condition, and wrote in a recent memoir that, when he was younger, he overcompensated by memorizing “pretentious words.”

Gellar reveals reason for Buffy reboot ax

Sarah Michelle Gellar is finally pulling back the curtain on why Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s planned return was abruptly shut down—and the explanation is raising eyebrows.

In a new interview with People, Gellar pointed to a single Hulu executive who, she claims, simply didn’t like the original series, effectively halting the planned continuation show Buffy: New Sunnydale in its tracks—an ending that feels less like a heroic finale and more like a stake through a vampire’s heart.
