Following a heated back-and-forth on Twitter last year, it appears as though Ariana Grande and Piers Morgan got drunk and resolved their differences

In terms of their history, it all started when Piers Morgan decided to share an opinion no one asked to hear. Following the release of promo images for Little Mix's "Strip" video, Piers took to Twitter, in classic misogynist fashion, to criticize group member Jesy Nelson and assert that she should "put some clothes on" in a now-deleted tweet. 

His commentary drew a reaction from Joan Grande, Ariana's mother, who questioned the host's values and upbringing in light of his hateful response. "Honestly what is wrong with you @piersmorgan," Grande asked. "Didn’t your mother ever teach you, if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say it!"

Morgan then expanded on his Little Mix insult by replying to Grande and shamefully writing, "would prefer [Little Mix] to use their talent to sell records rather than their nudity." This blatantly offensive stance prompted Ariana to join the public discussion, during which she explained to the host that "women can be sexual AND talented" and that they're the ones who get to choose, not him. 

However on Wednesday, months after Grande's feminist slay, Piers posted a lengthy recap on Twitter in which he announced that he and Grande exchanged some niceities over drinks. "We laughed, we argued, she cried, I nearly did, the drinks flowed & we bonded," Morgan wrote. 

Ariana then cosigned their resolve, writing "thank u for some laughs and some v productive conversation." The singer then cushioned the tweet by adding "#FutureFeministPiers #FingersCrossed."

In a now deleted tweet, Grande echoed Piers' summary of their encounter, explaining that face-to-face conversations are often more effective than those that solely take place online. Despite the super rational recount, her fans we quick to ask why their source of entertainment had suddenly ended.
