Ariana Grande is facing backlash for her controversial comments about serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, with the family of one of his victims expressing outrage. Shirley Hughes, mother of Dahmer’s victim Anthony “Tony” Hughes, criticized Grande for calling Dahmer her dream dinner date, calling her “sick in her mind.” Tony was tragically killed by Dahmer at the age of 31 after meeting him at a gay bar in 1991. Shirley and Tony’s sister Barbara condemned Grande’s insensitivity and urged her to apologize for glamorizing a monstrous figure.
The controversy stems from Grande’s appearance on Penn Badgley’s “Podcrushed” podcast, where she revealed her past infatuation with serial killers and mentioned Dahmer as her ideal dinner guest. Her comments have been widely criticized as inappropriate, especially given the pain they cause to the surviving family members of Dahmer’s victims.
In addition to the controversy surrounding her comments about Dahmer, Grande also reflected on her time on Nickelodeon’s “Victorious” and “Sam & Cat” on the podcast. She revealed that she is “reprocessing” her memories and confronting unsettling elements from her past in the entertainment industry, particularly regarding the innuendos and humor on the shows. Grande’s comments have sparked outrage and calls for an apology from those who believe she is trivializing a serious and tragic event in history.
