Ariana Grande recently came roaring to the defense of her brother, Frankie, on a Instagram post.
The pop star saw that someone referred to her brother (currently a contestant on CBS’ BIG BROTHER) as “that homo.”
Grande responded thusly:
“That ‘homo’ is the fiercest, most incredible, funniest, most intelligent, kind hearted and most LOVED person on the face of the planet! he also cleaned up his game and told the truth to everybody in the house WHICH by the way, nobody else on the show has done. so i don’t give a flying fuck if or when he comes home!!! he is incredible and i am SO proud!!!! oh and also ‘that homo’ gets more ass than you’ll ever get in your life. k miss thing?”
I posted Ariana’s newest video “Break Free” earlier today.
