These Photos Of Ariana “Following The Manchester Attack” Have Been Found To Be Fake

In the hysteria following last night’s fatal attack on the Manchester Arena, photos have been circulating online claiming to show Ariana Grande covered in blood.

The pop star had just finished performing her Dangerous Woman concert when a lone suicide bomber detonated a device killing 22 people, including children and teens.

Ariana was uninjured in the explosion, as confirmed by her management team, and the photos circulating online are actually behind-the-scenes shots from a film set in 2015.
