During a two-parter that Ariana Grande did for Penn Badgley’s “Podcrushed” podcast, she opened up a huge can of worms. The “You” star asked Ari all about her new album, “Eternal Sunshine” and about playing Glinda in the upcoming “Wicked” movie. Good so far, right? Then the conversation shifted, and Ariana admitted that she had a fascination with notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, and that once she even told a young fan that he was her dream dinner guest. Now, Ari’s getting universally crushed for her tone-deaf comments, including from the mother of one of Dahmer’s victims. Safe to say this isn’t one of Ari’s finest moments.
