Ariana Grande said she's reflecting on her child stardom in a different light.
The Grammy-winning singer was asked about her time on Nickelodeon's "Victorious" during a recent episode of "Podcrushed,” a podcast on teen memories co-hosted by actor Penn Badgley and his friends, Sophie Ansari and Nava Kavelin.
“We had some very special memories and we feel so privileged to have been able to create those roles and be a part of something that was so special for a lot of young kids,” Grande said in the podcast interview, the first part of which was released on Wednesday. “I think we’re reprocessing our relationship to it a little bit now.”
The comments mark the first time she's spoken about her childhood acting career in the aftermath of the explosive docuseries "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV." The Investigation Discovery series, which aired in March, detailed the allegedly toxic environment on some of Nickelodeon hit-making producer Dan Schneider's sets.
The docuseries featured several clips of Grande during her time on Nickelodeon shows. In some, she is in seemingly sexually suggestive positions, including one depicting her squeezing a potato and moaning.
