Victoria Justice is looking to “break free” from the rumor that she is jealous of Ariana Grande.
The Nickelodeon alum sat down with E! News on April 17 to refute the rumor and to end it once and for all.
“I think the biggest rumor…This whole narrative that was created of me being jealous of her and us not being friends. I feel like it’s this constant story of the media and people wanting to put people against each other and it’s just…so not even relevant right now,” Justice said.
“This is so dumb. Ten years later. How is this even a story? This is so stupid,” she continued.

Justice and Grande were once co-stars when they both appeared on the Nickelodeon show Victorious. Justice played the titular Tori Vega while the “Thank U, Next” songstress played Cat Valentine.
