Bette Midler started a bit of a war of words with current hitmaker Ariana Grande. Fortunately, the two singers took the high road and brought the feud to an end quickly.
In an interview with the Telegraph newspaper in Britain, Midler said “You don’t have to make a whore out of yourself to get ahead. It’s always surprising to see someone like Ariana Grande with that silly high voice, a very wholesome voice, slithering around on a couch looking so ridiculous. I mean, it’s silly beyond belief and I don’t know who’s telling her to do it. I wish they’d stop. But it’s not my business, I’m not her mother. Or her manager. Maybe they tell them that’s what you’ve got to do. Sex sells. Sex has always sold.”
Earlier today, Grande responded to Midler’s comments on Twitter, saying “Bette was always a feminist who stood for women being able to do whatever the F they wanted without judgement! not sure where that Bette went but I want that sexy mermaid back!!! always a fan no matter what my love”
She followed with “all love here”.
all love here
