URGENT UPDATE: New reports confirm that the on-screen friendship between Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo has taken a surprising turn, with insiders claiming their bond has become “toxic.” While the two stars have presented a united front during the promotion of Wicked: For Good, sources reveal that their relationship behind the scenes is far from genuine.
Despite appearing inseparable at the New York premiere and showing affection throughout promotional events, a source tells Star Magazine that their public display of camaraderie is “a total act.” The insider elaborated that their dynamic turned so “hostile” that they needed to hire a mediator to help manage their interactions during the film’s shoot.
The source’s alarming claims contradict earlier reports from Daily Mail, which suggested that their friendship was authentic. An insider had previously described Erivo as “super protective” of Grande, likening their connection to that of sisters. The recent revelations raise questions about the true nature of their relationship as they navigate the pressures of Hollywood.
Insiders note that the real test of their friendship will come after the promotional whirlwind of Wicked: For Good concludes. A tipster warned, “Post-Wicked will be a true test of their friendship. Things can change a year from now, like most Hollywood friendships tend to.”
As this story develops, fans are left wondering: is their bond real or merely a facade? The contrasting narratives highlight the complexities of relationships in the spotlight, keeping audiences on edge.
