According to reports, recent 2014 MTV VMA winner, Ariana Grande, showed a "ridiculous" diva attitude when the singer visited Australia and dealt with the press.

Grande allegedly supplied a list of "off limits" topics to reporters who wished to interview her, stating subjects that could not be discussed or asked.

The alleged list included her relationship with Big Sean, the recent death of her grandfather, her collaboration with Justin Bieber, and the constant comparison to Mariah Carey.

Reporters were not the only ones who experienced Grande's diva wrath.

Daily Mail reports that Grande instructed photographers to "only use natural light," and to only aim at her left face when shooting her.

The singer reportedly also left a shoot with an Australian newspaper because of an issue with her wardrobe, and then later demanded the photographer to delete all the photos taken. Grande then cancelled the shoot when after the photographer refused the singer's request.

Grande, with the help of her manager Scooter Braun, answered the diva allegations while appearing on Australian radio station, 96.1.

"It was just a photographer or something who got mad at me because I left to change my outfit mid photo shoot because I didn't like my top," Grande said, defending herself on the radio show.

"I was like, 'Oh, I'll be right back!' and then I came back and he had left.' I was like, 'Oh, s--t!' And then he came out and said all these ridiculous untrue things about me. I was like, 'That's not real. That's nonsense!" the singer added.
