Ariana Grande is both hurt and more than a little indignant that Bette Midler called her out in a recent interview, telling friends she embraces sexuality on stage, JUST LIKE BETTE DID. Midler pissed off Grande with her comment, “It’s always surprising to see someone like Ariana Grande with that silly high voice, a very wholesome voice, slithering on a couch. You don’t have to do things like that to get ahead.” People close to Ariana tell TMZ that Grande is “shocked” Midler called her out, since she is a huge fan or Midler’s and Bette did the exact same thing Ariana is doing during the peak of her career in the 1970s.
