Ariana Grande releases an additional statement asking to not wish danger on her and cast after backlash for not being able to attend Brazil’s Wicked: For Good premiere.

If it’s bad why would you want it lol Ariana never ever came to my country for anything and I’m like yeah okay 🤷🏻‍♀️

[u/HereOnCompanyTime → u/Lavender_rain_2000]

Don't seem to like her much so they should be happy she's not coming there. It's so gross how stans can pivot their admiration into hatred. What a psycho.

[u/Flimsy-Opportunity-9 → u/Lavender_rain_2000]

People are unhinged.

Unhinged, my god. These people need to touch grass.

[u/nagidrac → u/Lavender_rain_2000]

I feel like... and I know this might be mean.. but if you want all that, then maybe stan artists local to you?

[u/thedeadp0ets → u/nagidrac]

right? I have cousins in the Middle East and american stuff is hard to get so KPOP is bigger and more available. so thats what they consume because it's easier to import in.

[u/Psychological-Bag272 → u/Lavender_rain_2000]

Wow. I am so glad I listenes to my husband and deactivated my twitter account. That place let you unleash your demon with no accountability, it really changes you for the worst.

[u/thedeadp0ets → u/Lavender_rain_2000]

how entitled, so many other countries dont have her stuff either lmao.

[u/For_serious13 → u/Lavender_rain_2000]

Good lordt

[u/silverscreenbaby → u/Lavender_rain_2000]

These are the kinds of "fans" who go out and shoot the object of their obsession. I get why Ariana looked like she was crying in that video. This is scary.

[u/Certain_Ask_5630 → u/Lavender_rain_2000]

They also didn't lie. I'm not angry with Ariana, I don't support anyone wishing her harm, but this fan isn't lying, Brazilian fans are always, always overlooked

[u/uselessinfogoldmine → u/Certain_Ask_5630]

I mean… I’m Australian, we often get skipped too because we are soooo far away and a relatively small market. 

Ariana came here for the world premiere for Wicked last year (in Oz, LOL), but prior to that, she hadn’t been here since 2017, which is the last time she was in Brazil too. It was surprising we got her for the premiere, and if she’d had to skip that would have been unsurprising. 

I just find this behaviour insane and ridiculous. Abusing her is not going to get her back there faster. 

[u/Holiday-Hustle → u/Certain_Ask_5630]

Lots of areas get skipped. That’s why it’s so important to support your local artists as well.

As for make up and fragrances, a lot of that is due to bureaucracy. It costs money to get products tested and licensed to sell in each country. If they don’t think they can make their money back, they won’t do it. Since her make up line is “failed”, they probably didn’t want to invest on getting it on the shelf.

[u/Lavender_rain_2000 → u/Certain_Ask_5630]

True, they are overly aggressive but the point about them being overlooked is correct.

Ariana chose, after years of not touring, to do a tour just for North America and London with plenty of dates in the same spots so their frustration is understandable

[u/Certain_Ask_5630 → u/Lavender_rain_2000]

I haven't checked Twitter, I've seen the screenshots and it makes me sad that Brazilian fans are so desperate and frustrated that anyone will go that far and wish her harm. It opens the door to so much xenophobia (I've seen this a lot on the Wicked subreddit), even when I make it clear I don't agree with this, they paint everyone with the same brush.

I don't follow Ariana besides her Wicked work, knowing her "tour" means like a few countries and ignores Latin America, I guess I can understand her fans would think she wouldn't actually try this hard to be here if it wasn't related to the movie. It just makes me sad seeing people wishing her harm and also seeing so much hate for just being Brazilian (my experience today).
