Actress Victoria Justice clarified the alleged enmity with Ariana Grande and how a viral misunderstanding marked one of the hardest stages of her life.
Victoria Justice was sincere about one of the most complicated moments of her professional life: the wave of hate she faced on the Internet after the viralization of an old video. During her participation in the “Last Meals of Mythical Kitchen” program, the actress recalled how a misunderstanding in social networks made her white of criticism and threats, even affecting her family.

The controversy originated in a 2010 interview for the magazine “Popstar”, where Justice appeared with his companions of “Victorious”, including Ariana Grande. In that clip, while Elizabeth Gillies praised the voice of Grande, Victoria intervened saying: “I think we sing”, which was played by some users as an envious or passive-agreesive comment.
Although the video was recorded when he was around 16, he resurfaced in 2017 and was presented on social networks as proof of an alleged rivalry with Ariana Grande, whose career already took off as a pop singer. Justice clarified that his comment was simply a neutral observation and that the media distorted the original message.
“First of all, it was a fact. We all sang,” he said. “The medium that published that video gave him a totally different narrative … I received so much hate that I asked me: ‘What did I do?’ … It was crazy,” Justice added. The situation was so intense that he even received death threats.
The emotional impact was great, especially for his mother, who suffered when he saw the attacks on the Internet. “This took life,” added the actress, pointing out how a distorted story can have real and durable consequences.

In addition, he took the opportunity to reflect on the power of social networks and how they can mold public perception based on fragments out of context. With this revelation, Justice not only cleanses his name, but also makes visible the emotional cost of public scrutiny and the need for empathy in the digital age.
