Bowen Yang has Ariana Grande’s back. While examining the pop celebrity’s brand-new cd Eternal Sunshine on his Las Culturistas podcast Wednesday (March 13), the Saturday Night Live cast participant took a minute to protect his buddy from monthslong conjecture regarding her connection with Wicked costar Ethan Slater.
“The narrative is wrong,” Yang stated truthfully in discussion with his co-host Matt Rogers. “[Grande’s] not even outwardly saying that, but the narrative has been incorrect. People have even retracted things in these stories with no f—king apology to the people who are involved.”
“I can tell you for a fact that what people out there seem to be clinging on to is incorrect,” included the comic, that stars in the upcoming Wicked movies together with Grande and Slater. “A media story can be entirely eating and ravaging and irritate you to no end due to exactly how incorrect it is. Pushing outright frauds — I’m sorry, it is an actually f—king disorienting point to experience. “

Reports of the “Yes, And?” vocalist’s love with Slater initially arised simply days after information of her split from other half Dalton Gomez barged in July. Soon later, the SpongeBob SquarePants Broadway celebrity’s separated other half, Lilly Jay — with whom he shares a young boy — informed Page Six that Grande was “the story” behind her separation from Slater, including that the pop celebrity is “not a girl’s girl.”
In September, Grande applied for separation from Gomez, 2 months after Slater and Jay submitted. (She and Gomez settled their split in October.) Both TMZ and People have actually reported from the get go that the Wicked celebrities’ love started after both of their previous partnerships finished.
“If you think this invites karma, I’m here to tell you, your set of facts – I’m not going to reveal the actual facts, because they’re not mine to reveal,” Yang continued the podcast. “But I can say that the matrix of information that you are using to draw a line to the karmic outcome you want is not existent.”
Grande herself discussed her current experiences with the reports bordering her connection with Slater in a meeting leading up to her brand-new cd’s March 8 launch. “We don’t need to go into any specifics, but of course there’s an insatiable frustration, an inexplicable hellish feeling with watching people misunderstand the people you love, and you,” she stated on The Zach Sang Show.
About Eternal Sunshine – on which Grande relatively closes down the reports on tunes such as “True Story” — Yang kept in mind, “She could’ve very easily made this a Reputation [by Taylor Swift] album, an album that was like, ‘F–k you, I’ve been completely misunderstood’ … Instead, it’s this very fragile, delicate work.”
