4. Ariana Grande vs. Bette Midler
We never thought we’d say this, but Ariana Grande actually came off as the classier party in her Twitter battle with Bette Midler in 2014. After Midler criticized one of Grande’s performances, claiming she didn’t have to act “like a whore” to gain popularity, Grande tweeted at the former singer saying “Bette was always a feminist who stood for women being able to do whatever the F they wanted without judgement! Not sure where that Bette went but I want that sexy mermaid back!!! Always a fan no matter what my love.” Midler issued her form of an apology, tweeting “All I can say is, spoken like a reformed old whore! She does have a beautiful voice, on a couch or off.”
