Woman Says Ariana Grande "Stole" Her Boyfriend Years Ago: "I Knew Something Was Up"

Maybe Ariana Grande took her song, "Break Up With Your Girlfriend," a little too seriously. According to a woman on TikTok, Rikki Valentina, the singer "stole" her boyfriend years ago in 2010. "When karma finally exposes Ariana Grande after she stole your boyfriend in 2010," she wrote in a viral video. Her TikTok comes after Grande made headlines for allegedly getting into a "messy" situation with Ethan Slater.

This month, it was announced by TMZ that the "Thank U, Next" singer and her husband Dalton Gomez were "heading for divorce." Shortly after this stunning news, TMZ stated that the Grammy Award winner is dating her married Wicked co-star, Ethan Slater, prompting social media users to speculate that Grande has a history of interfering with relationships.

In a follow-up video, Valentina apologizes for saying the word "stolen," because her ex "was at fault" – but adds that Grande also "knew what she was doing." The TikToker says she's bringing this up now because she's "over it" and decided to speak out after discovering that Grande had many victims.

In 2009, Valentina was with an actor named Christian (alleged to be Christian Fortune), who was four and a half years older than she was. Christian was reportedly "manipulative" in this relationship and would ask Valentina for all of her social media passwords. In exchange, she got all of Christian's passwords.

Christian secured a role on the show Victorious, which Grande starred in. After he came back from work, Valentina noticed that someone was messaging him. "I was like, 'Oh, who's talking to you?' And he's like, 'Oh, you know that girl with the red hair? Ariana from Victorious? Yeah, we're friends,'" the woman recalls. Valentina didn't think much of this until she got curious and asked him what they were discussing. Grande reportedly asked Christian what outfit she should wear to "seduce a 40-year-old man." Valentina says she knew "something was up" after this comment.

When the TikToker asked Christian to go to homecoming with her, he said he wouldn't be able to attend because they had to keep their relationship a secret. When homecoming came along, Christian ended it with her – his excuse was, "I think I'm holding you back."

"He made me miss my homecoming," Valentina explains, "but I knew something was up. I could feel it. So remember how I had his passwords, right? I went on to his Facebook and saw so many messages between them, of them meeting up behind my back while we were dating, him going to the set of Victorious and them getting together in her dressing room."

"I was livid," she says. "But they also made it so obvious at this point because they were leaving little smiley faces on each other's wall. And I was friends with her on Facebook at the time, so I reached out to her. You know, I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. I was like, well, maybe he told her that he doesn't have a girlfriend."

Valentina says she informed Grande about Christian and how he was two-timing with her and Grande. She decided this was the right thing to do because of the "Girl Code," but the singer didn't seem to agree, and she blocked Valentina on Facebook.

"She blocks me on Facebook, and I had sent her proof," she recalls. "I had sent her all the photos of us together, and she blocked me. So I went on to his Facebook, and I messaged her myself, and I said, 'What the heck? Why did you block me? That's not very nice. I was letting you know what's up. And you're still okay with this?'"

Christian eventually found out that Valentina was on his Facebook account, so he kicked her off. He and Grande appeared to be together after this, and they even had matching Facebook profile pictures, and Valentina came with the receipts. Grande and Christian used twinning sepia-toned photos on their Facebook pages.

Despite Valentina's heartbreaking experience, she thanks Grande. "I should be thanking her, because if it wasn't for her, I would have never met my boyfriend that I met after, whom I'm actually now married to. So it worked out for the best," she adds. Uh oh. Don't tell Grande that.

Valentina also made a song about Christian's infidelity, which now has over 28,000 plays, "which is pretty good for an independent artist," she says. "So that's a win for me too."

She concludes, "And here's the real kicker. I guess she ended up cheating on him. So he came crawling back to me and apologized. And I said, 'Bye.'"

Grande has yet to break her silence on the recent allegations against her and Slater, but Slater's wife – Lilly Jay – has stayed busy talking to the press about their budding romance. And, it looks like Jay has confirmed what people have been thinking all along. “[Ariana’s] the story really. Not a girl’s girl,” she told Page Six. “My family is just collateral damage.”
