Ariana Grande made the sad announcement that she couldn’t make it to Sao Paolo to promote Wicked: For Good – after her flight to Brazil was deplaned. Because she was previously wrapped up in filming commitments for her new film she couldn’t travel at any other time and the next day would be too late. Ariana Grande released a statement about the plane saga on her Instagram story, where she even had to ask for so called fans to not “wish danger” on her and the rest of the Wicked team – and now a man who claims to have been on the plane with her as posted a video backing up Ari and speaking out against those who claim she was lying.<\/p>\n
After everything Ariana Grande has been through with the attack on her Manchester concert, it was heartbreaking to read the statement she posted after being unable to attend the Wicked<\/a>: For Good premiere in Sao Paolo. Ariana wrote \u201cPlease don\u2019t wish danger on us. We did everything we could and I promise you no one is more upset than I am \u2026 no matter how upset or disappointed you are, please please do not wish danger on us or assume that we didn\u2019t try.<\/p>\n “A few hours ago, my team and [I] had to deplane our flight, as they had to do maintenance on the plane due to a safety issue. My team and Universal have tried every single thing possible to fix this,\u201d Grande continued. \u201cWe’ve searched every other flight, overnight, early morning, connecting flights, commercial and also private options and absolutely nothing was available or possible that would get us there in time.\u201d<\/p>\n She apologised to fans profusely for it, and it seemed apparent to anyone normal that this was clearly the case. But some weird fans clearly weren’t having it, such was their disappointment that their fave wouldn’t be there.<\/p>\n passenger shares his experience sitting next to ariana grande on the nyc-s\u00e3o paulo delayed flight pic.twitter.com\/kjLqtoiLpl<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 allegra\u2600\ufe0f (@theegrandeheels) November 4, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nA passenger has now spoken out defending her<\/strong><\/h4>\n
