It all began with a video on TikTok, in which a user claimed that human remains were allegedly found in Ariana Grande's home. Although the video contained no evidence, some users began to treat this information as true and spread it further. The rumour quickly went viral, forcing the singer's brother to speak publicly.
Frankie Grande, known for his own success on Broadway, decided to respond to these absurd allegations. On the platform X (formerly Twitter), he emphasised that the whole story is fabricated and only aims to harm his sister's image. "This might be the most creative and lowest y'all have ever gone," Frankie stated, adding that some fans resort to increasingly desperate methods to get attention.
Ariana Grande's brother debunks rumours. "She only 'eats' the competition"
Frankie not only debunked the rumours but also took the opportunity to remind everyone how dedicated his sister is to her career and personal life. "Listen, I know my sister’s been eating the girls up for years but this a bit extreme!" he joked, stressing, "Besides, she's vegan." In doing so, he wanted to demonstrate the absurdity of the cannibalism accusations.
The rumours about Ariana Grande's cannibalism gained traction last month during a podcast with Penn Badgley, where the singer mentioned that she would like to talk to the infamous Jeffrey Dahmer. This sparked outrage, especially among the families of the Milwaukee cannibal's victims. Tony Hughes' family, one of the victims, demanded an apology from Ariana, claiming that her words were "sick" and "inappropriate".
Frankie Grande concluded his statement on X by emphasising that his sister would never have anything to do with cannibalism and that this is just another attack on her. He pointed out that Ariana only "eats" figuratively—with her musical talent and charisma on stage. This situation shows how easily public opinion can be manipulated with unverified information on social media.
