What Ariana said
During the interaction when the joke was brought up, Ariana said: “Oh my gosh, my joke! My bit! I’m still clean! I’m still clean! But when I start going again, I’ll let you know. I mean it. I really want to be transparent as a beauty founder, as the founder of R.E.M. Beauty — I think it’s important to have transparency. I love it, and I support it. But I am still four years clean."
More details
During the earlier acceptance speech, Ariana had said: “I've been performing since I was a child, so I never thought at the age of 31 I would be hearing the words 'rising star' again, so I wanted to start by thanking my two friends: Botox and Juvederm. I thought I'd be hearing 'slightly withering star' or 'drooping star' by now so thank you.”
Ariana was nominated at the Golden Globes for her performance in Wicked in the Best Supporting Actress category. She lost out to Zoe Saldana, who won for Emilia Perez. However, Wicked ended up winning the award for cinematic and box office achievement at the ceremony. Also starring Cynthia Erivo, Wicked is based on a Broadway prequel to The Wizard of Oz. It released in theatres last November. The second part is scheduled for release on November 21, 2025.
