Ariana Grande's taken to Twitter to defend her pal Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin's engagement, claiming they're 'human beings who love and have lives' in a series of deleted posts.
Ari - who faced criticism when her boyfriend of just four weeks Pete Davidson popped the question last month - jumped to the defense of the couple as she responded to a comment suggesting manager Scooter Braun had set up the proposal for publicity.
Replying to a tweet saying "First ariana get engaged to pete Davidson and now Justin bieber to hailey Bladwin the devil works hard but Scooter Braun works harder" [sic], Ari clapped back "..... you do realize we are human beings who love and have lives......right......?
"And that Scooter is a wonderful human being too who cares first [and] foremost [about] our health and happiness? Love is lit. Shit happens. I hope to god it happens to you too. [You] deserve it."
Then, when one fan claimed "it was just a stan twitter joke, we stan and love scooter," Ari responded "okay okay 🙈 be nice to that man. he’s wonderful. and very human. always puts his artists’ health and happiness first."
