In the interview, Bette spoke about young entertainers - specifically calling out Ariana - who use sex appeal to advance their career. She said, "It's terrible! It's always surprising to see someone like Ariana Grande with that silly high voice, a very wholesome voice, slithering around on a couch...looking so ridiculous."
Her advice to young stars was "Trust your talent. You don't have to make a whore out of yourself to get ahead. You really don't."
Ariana tweeted a response to the legendary singer's comments, writing: "All love here," adding, "Bette was always a feminist who stood for women being able to do whatever the F they wanted without judgement! Not sure where that Bette went but I want that sexy mermaid back!!! Always a fan no matter what my love."
Ariana added, "And I will still quote First Wives Club every single day of my life lmao."
