Ariana Grande Explains Why Feud With Piers Morgan is Over
By Hannah Wigandt
Okay, the most confusing fight ever has just been resolved. Spanning over months, a feud between two of the most unlikely people, Ariana Grande and Piers Morgan, has finally ended.
This might get confusing so sit tight.
,Now, if you'll recall, the fight started over Morgan throwing shade at Grande's friends Little Mix, after they posed nude. He tweeted that one member, Jesy, should put some clothes on.
Then Ariana's mother, of all people, got into the mix and said this:
Honestly what is wrong with you @piersmorgan ? Didn’t your mother ever teach you, if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say it! You came for @TheEllenShow yesterday which was disgraceful, she is an angel. @LittleMix today, did you ever hear of paying homage? And..well never mind https://t.co/5WBOlL8t6O

This was Morgan's response, which brought Ariana into the fight.
Hi Joan, my mother taught me to speak my mind & never be afraid to express honestly held opinion.

Ellen's a hypocrite - and as for Little Mix, I'd just prefer they use their talent to sell records rather than their nudity.
As your own daughter does...! https://t.co/nCQAsIgoVG
Ariana responded in numerous tweets, calling out the TV personality.
Ellen is an incredible & kind human being.. I use my talent AND my sexuality all the time because i choose to. women can be sexual AND talented. naked and dignified. it’s OUR choice. ? & we will keep fighting til people understand. i say this w all due respect but thank u, next. https://t.co/wSknRSlJN8

also @piersmorgan, i look forward to the day you realize there are other ways to go about making yourself relevant than to criticize young, beautiful, successful women for everything they do. i think that’ll be a beautiful thing for you and your career or what’s left of it. ?

She shut him down immediately. Now fast forward to today, which is probably the most confusing part of the story. Out of no where and without any explanation, Morgan tweets this:
Thank u for a great night @ArianaGrande x

To make things even more confusing, Grande's response turned some heads when she thanked him as well.

So you can see why fans were completely dumb struck when they read this.

To clear up the confusion, Grande bumped into Morgan out one night and they decided to talk out their problems with one another and it proved to be beneficial. They made up!
well............ we bumped into each other. at a restaurant. and i decided to sit with him and we spoke for a while. i think some progress was made! turns out face to face discussions are a bit kinder and gentler, even if you do indeed disagree. :)

Fans then proceeded to applaud Grande for being a mature respectful person for solving the issue. She didn't have to confront Morgan in person.
Omg you’re so cute and mature for this we love a respectful woman

The best part of this story? Morgan's tweets after they cleared the air:
So... we bumped into each other in a LA restaurant, she joined me for ‘a chat’ & 2 hours later we were still chatting. We laughed, we argued, she cried, I nearly did, the drinks flowed & we bonded. Turns out we really like each other. Weird. Thank u @ArianaGrande - next? pic.twitter.com/pNJ7pDi0at

Well that solves that. Everything is right in the world again.
