Ariana Grande's split from actor Ethan Slater has prompted a furious reaction from commentator Candace Owens, who used her podcast this week to accuse the singer of having 'daddy issues' and describe the relationship as 'a special kind of evil,' days after reports in the US said the couple had quietly broken up months ago.
For context, the news of the breakup emerged on Monday 8 June, when People reported that Ariana Grande, 32, and Broadway star Ethan Slater, 34, had ended their relationship after nearly three years together. The pair first met in 2022 while working in New York on the film adaptation of Wicked, and their romance later drew intense scrutiny because both were married to other people when they met.
