Gay icon Bette Midler came out swinging hard at Ariana Grande in an interview with the UK's Telegraph. Saying she has a "silly high voice" and looks "ridiculous".
Quote:
“It’s terrible! It’s always surprising to see someone like Ariana Grande with that silly high voice, a very wholesome voice, slithering around on a couch,” – here, she does some slithering herself – “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. If she had any advice for a young woman wanting to break in to showbusiness today, it would be this: “trust your talent. You don’t have to make a wh0re out of yourself to get ahead. You really don’t.”
Queen Ariri can do what she pleases. Just because you think you're a saint doesn't mean everyone has to be. You're obviously a mean and judgmental person, so you ain't no saint either. Bye.
With all due respect I don't think it's the same industry now as it was whenever Bette Midler came out. Women are allowed to act whichever way they want.
