What might have once been considered a joke is now coming back to bite in the backside. And we're talking about how anything said by a celeb in Hollywood never goes unnoticed.
Veteran actor Robert De Niro has recently found himself under fire for comments regarding his experience working with Ariana Grande.

Robert DeNiro was slammed for destroying their own legacy in real time by one fan, while another fumed and went on about how De Niro stars alongside Grande and Stiller in the upcoming fourth installment of the Meet the Parents franchise.

The main conflict arose when Stiller's son, played by Skyler Gisondo, gets engaged to Olivia Jones, Grande's character, a strong-willed former FBI hostage negotiator. As the trailer ends. De Niro hails Grande for her acting, praising her for her talent and saying she's done better than most of the other stars he's worked with.
Netizens took offense and said that it was cruel, considering how he's worked with all the legendary actors and actresses of the industry who are so much more senior.
