Penn Badgley Made A Post Thanking Ariana Grande And Fans Lost Their Minds
Penn Badgley recently starred in Ariana Grande's latest music video for her song "The Boy Is Mine", and in it, the tables turned for his famous You character. Instead of him being the obsessed stalker, in Ariana's sultry video, he's chased and stalked by the singer dressed as Catwoman.
The actor had a lot of fun working with Ariana Grande, and thanked the pop star publicly on an Instagram post, but his phrasing got a lot of people upset.
"The boy may be yours but the pleasure was all mine," Penn Badgley wrote. Fans seemed to think there was an innuendo there, and some of them left angry comments.
"Penn is married and he has a child, let's hope she doesn't wreck his home too lmfao," one user wrote. Another person commented "Here she goes, stealing another married man." Some people even warned the actor about Ariana Grande. "dont fall for it penn, that marriage will crumble," a fan said.
In the post, Penn Badgley went on to thank the singer and the cast and crew. "@arianagrande thank you for inviting me into your orbit for a moment & @christhedirector [Christian Breslauer] for building a little world to play in for a day. Hey ma I’m in a music video! And in the presence of @brandy and @monicadenise ?? Honored to be alongside these icons."
Ariana Grande's Controversial Relationship
The reason so many fans jumped at the slightly suggestive tone in Penn Badgley's post is, as readers probably know, due to Ariana Grande's controversial relationship with co-star Ethan Slater. The actor was allegedly still married when they started dating, though some sources claim that both of them had separated from their exes when their romance began.
Despite the backlash she received, Ariana Grande still defended her relationship fiercely, and seemed to address it in her song "Yes, And?"

Ariana Grande might finally breathe a sigh of relief now that her divorce is finalized, but it's coming at a cost...
"I have never felt more pride or joy or love while simultaneously feeling so deeply misunderstood by people who don't know me, who piece whispers together and make what they want out of me and their assumptions of my life. I have learned how much more important one of those things is than the other," she wrote on her Instagram stories before releasing the single.
She also referred to the year she met Ethan Slater as "one of the most transformative, most challenging, and yet happiest and most special years of my life."
It seems that no matter what fans have to say, Ariana Grande is not afraid to be her true self.
