Ariana Grande and her longtime, childhood bestie Alexa Luria are no longer friends.
Fans noticed that the 26-year-old “7 Rings” singer had unfollowed her friend on Instagram and took to Twitter to inquire about it.
“everything okay? saw you unfollowed a friend.. @ArianaGrande,” one fan wrote.
“sometimes people outgrow each other no matter how much they love one another or how much history is there. hopefully it’s temporary. 🖤,” Ariana responded.
“all i ask is that y’all please not get involved or send anything negative her way. want to get ahead of that,” she added.
Ariana reiterated that she still wants to protect Alexa and asked that if anyone saw people being mean, to ask them not to be.
“just trying to protect her also,” she replied to another tweet. “if you see anyone doing that at any point please ask them kindly not to.”
