Ariana Grande’s brother has slammed bizarre cannibalism jokes about the star.
The singer sparked controversy after revealing that she once said her dream dinner guest was serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, who murdered 16 people and whose crimes involved cannibalism. Her comment, made on the Podcrushed podcast, triggered a flurry of rumours on social media.
But her brother Frankie has wasted no time in laughing it off as he jokingly reminded fans: “She’s vegan.”

“HAHAHAHAHAHA,” he posted on X, reposting a remark about the odd conspiracy. “Wow! This might be the most creative and lowest y’all have ever gone. Reaching new depths daily!”
“Listen, I know my sister’s been eating the girls up for years but this a bit extreme!” Frankie continued. “Besides, she’s vegan. See you on tour!”
In the podcast, Ariana revealed that on one occasion, a fan had asked her who she would like to have a meal with. She said Dahmer, calling him “pretty fascinating”.
She explained: “It was like a younger group, and they were with parents, and someone said, ‘If you could have dinner with anyone living or dead, who would it be?’ I was like, ‘Oh, you’re so cute. Mom and dad is it ok if I give the real answer?’
“And they were like, ‘Sure, what’s the answer?’ and I was like, ‘I mean, Jeffrey Dahmer is pretty fascinating. I think I would have loved to have met him’.”
Laughing, she went on: “Maybe with a third party or someone along. But I have questions!”
As well as Frankie, fans have been weighing in to defend the star against the gossip. “Ariana can never just live her life,” one said on X. “Please remember, she’s a human, she has feelings. These things aren’t funny.”
Another said: “I hope Ariana is doing okay because who ever started these cannibalism rumours are so ridiculous. I mean y’all took it way too far now.”
