The betrayal that Ariana Grande cannot forgive: she takes drastic action
The artist's team has confirmed the news by responding to a follower
Ariana Grande's team has confirmed the immediate dismissal of the manager of her temporary store in London after she was accused of reselling the artist's exclusive vinyl records online . The controversy erupted on social media when a group of fans noticed that several copies of limited and exclusive editions from the ‘The Eternal Sunshine Tour’ were being offered at inflated prices on the private buying and selling platform Vinted.
By tracking down and checking the profile behind the posts, followers discovered with outrage that the seller was the person in charge of managing the official store in the British capital itself. Fans posted graphic evidence and screenshots of the items for sale , which unleashed a wave of mass complaints on platforms such as Instagram and X.
'Ariana Grande's official team has spoken out: "We are aware and have been actively working on it"'
The news became known through the singer's official team, who responded to a follower thanking them for their work in the investigation. “We are aware and have been actively working on it... Thank you for bringing it to our attention, this person no longer works for the pop-up store” , the message says.
The vinyl records were from very limited runs of the tour that quickly become collectors' items on the secondary market. The American star's community showed frustration due to the difficulties and long lines they had to go through to try to get one legitimately and legally.
In addition to dismissing this person, Ariana Grande's team and their business partners have implemented a strict strategy to combat illicit resale , which not only affects the physical products from her pop-up shop (merchandise), but also very aggressively targets tickets for her world tour, ‘The Eternal Sunshine Tour’.
