Ariana Grande Twitter vs. Perez Hilton: Series Of Tweets Accuse Grande Of Cocaine Use?
Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson, daughter of Michael Jackson, and Amanda Bynes, just to name a couple, have all met the devil, online. They both have turned to Social Networking Sites (SNS) such as, Facebook and Twitter to vent, and to seek parental and friendly advice from strangers and from "friends," to no avail. As a result, they both have had an emotional breakdown indirectly linked to SNS, but they both sought the wrong outlet to resolve their problems.
In the case of Ariana Grande, 20 year old singing sensation and Nickelodeon star, she became the victim of social media, and she was hardly involved.
It all started when vitriolic rumors began that she was using cocaine. Grande's biggest culprit was Perez Hilton, celebrity Pop-Culture writer, and blogger. Hilton, real name Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr., uses social media like a writer uses ink for his pen.
The Mail Online reported, that Hilton tweeted the first blow, and then it all spiraled out of control, "Are you okay? I heard someone saw you doing cocaine at a party this weekend. Stay away from drugs Ariana!!! I'm praying for you! You can overcome this!!" Hilton tweeted.
Hilton continued with the barrage of tweets which Grande never responded to.
Hilton escalated Grande's cocaine rumors even more by calling her brother, and the Nickelodeon network that airs her show Sam & Cat. Hilton stated he called them because he wanted to express his concerns. But the tweets from Hilton continued.
Hilton tweeted, "For every day your fans continue to spam me on social media, I will continue to tweet you. I know you see my tweets. I win! :-)."
In other words, Grande's fans came to her defense by sending Perez a barrage of tweets and online threats against him and his son.
Grande eventually stepped in to quell the situation by tweeting her fans directly, "'Arianators,' I know u don't like when ppl say bad things about me please don't wish negativity upon any1. Don't give up your light, I ♥ U."
At the time that this article was written, Grande had plans to take Hilton to court for slander. Grande's representatives claimed that the tweets were used to attack her character. Fox News reported that the tweets from Hilton to Grande have been deleted.
Grande, unlike Bynes and Jackson, did not become a victim of social media -- she used it like any other celebrity would do; she used it to communicate with her fans.
