"I was upset and I contacted Miley. I said, 'Miley, I'm so sad - what do I do? This isn't true. My heart is broken, I feel so bad'," Grande told Britain's Daily Mirror.
"She was like, 'Girl, don't even look at it. Just be happy that you're blessed. You have family and friends (who) love you, you have fans that love you who know what's true and what's not. It will blow over and tomorrow they'll be talking about something else."'
The former Nickelodeon star is adamant that the reason she faces such struggles in the industry is because she is a woman.
"If you see a woman working hard who is successful - who doesn't stop until she reaches her goal, who is strong and has wishes and dreams she wants to fulfil, and works hard every day - you label them a diva," she said.
"But if you see a man doing that, you're like, 'He's incredible, he's an amazing businessman'."
