On a radio show in Australia (via Yahoo Australia), Grande addressed claims that at a recent photo shoot Down Under she stormed out after being photographed from the wrong side. She says the photographer is spreading lies and "there's no record to set straight."

"It was just a photographer or something who got mad at me because I left to change my outfit mid-photoshoot because I didn't like my top and I was like 'Oh I'll be right back.' And then I came back and he had left and I was like 'Oh s-t,'" she says. "He's now . . . said all these ridiculous untrue things about me and I'm just like, you know what, that's not real, that's nonsense, my fans know who I am, my family knows who I am, my friends know who I am and that's all that matters."

Her manager Scooter Braun, who also manages Justin Bieber and is used to having to defend his client, came out in support of Grande, tweeting that the star "is kind, caring, and more than anything she is a great human being. Some people make up rumors for a living . . . so . . . saying things about Ari comes with her now being a big star." He had more to say - here.
