E! reporter claims Ariana Grande elbowed her at awards ceremony

A reporter for E! has claimed that Ariana Grande elbowed her at an awards ceremony.

Speculation linking the US star and diva behaviour has increased recently after reports suggested she left a photoshoot halfway through.

It has also been mooted that Grande requests to be pictured from her left side only.

E! reporter Giuliana Rancic has now revealed that she was once apparently pushed out of the way at an American Music Awards so that Grande could be facing the camera in the right way.

She said: "I feel like where there’s smoke, there’s fire…I think she does have a little bit of a diva thing going on. I don’t know if that’s just part of the image she wants out there, like ‘I’m a young Mariah, I’m a diva’…”

“I think it was at the AMAs, she came up on the platform, and normally I stand on this side to the camera… Little Ariana comes over with an elbow in my side. I'm like, ‘What's going on?'. And they pushed me to the other side."

The reporter added: "When you're new on the block and you're trying to earn your stripes...Try to get a great reputation. Try to go overboard to please people."
