"Wicked protagonists Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are at the centre of a case of online misinformation claiming that they are in a "semi-binary" relationship. The duo, who were recently confronted by a "serial intruder" at the premiere of Wicked: For Good in Singapore, have continued to remain close during the promotional tour of the second film. Their intimate friendship, which tends to include a lot of touching, has led to online speculation that the pair are dating, with some even labelling them "creepy" online."
"But if readers were to looked closely, they would note that the source of the claim, The Lamented, is a Facebook page dedicated to satirical content. "The Lamented: where truth goes to die and sarcasm reigns supreme. Serving up satire, nonsense, and gloriously unreliable stories," its bio reads. The post was intended to be a joke. The page has also claimed that the pair are blaming Ozempic for "erasing plus-sized women from society", likely playing on the fact many have accused the pair of looking "unhealthy"."
Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande remained close during the Wicked: For Good promotional tour and were recently confronted by a "serial intruder" at the Singapore premiere. Their frequent, touch-heavy friendship sparked online dating speculation and some "creepy" labels. Grande explained that touching channels support and energy through her hands. Posts claimed Erivo named their relationship a "non-demi-curious semi-binary relationship." Demigender denotes nonbinary identities with a partial connection to a gender, while semi-binary denotes partial relation to a binary and a non-binary gender. The claim originated from a satirical Facebook page, The Lamented, and was a joke.
