Over time, Ariana Grande has proven herself. Reaching an intense level of celebrity, she seems to understand the amount of attention — both good and bad — she will receive and she keeps moving forward. She spoke with The Telegraph about this in 2014, specifically in regard to rumors about her being a diva. "It's funny how a certain amount of success comes with a certain amount of weird, inaccurate depictions of you," she said. She continued, saying, "But I feel like it will die down because it's not something that I pay into. And also things can only last so long when there's little truth to them. So that's why I don't trip over it."
Grande is not afraid to be honest and say what she is thinking. She added, 'It's weird to me because I do see myself as a fairly positive, very friendly person. So it's kind of odd. I also think a lot of people don't know what the word 'diva' means. If you want to call me a diva I'll say, 'Um, well, cool.' Barbra Streisand is a diva; that's amazing. Celine Dion is a diva; thank you. But if you want to call me a b***h, that's not accurate. Because it's just not in my nature."
You go, girl. Grande is who she is, and she's not falling into the gossip. It's fantastic to see a star address the issue head-on and stand her ground.
