AceShowbiz - Ariana Grande has faced backlash after revealing her serial killer obsession. In a recent interview, the singer/actress made the stunning confession that fantasized about dining with Jeffrey Dahmer, who raped, dismembered and killed seventeen males between 1978 and 1991.

"I was infatuated with serial killers when I was younger," she said on the "Podcrushed" podcast on Monday, June 24. She revealed to hosts Penn Badgley, Sophie Ansari and Nava Kavelin that she previously shared this information during a Q&A with "young fans."

"It was in between me being Cat [on 'Sam & Cat'] and pop stuff," Ariana recalled, "So it was like a younger group, and they were with parents, and someone said, 'If you could have dinner with anyone living or dead, who would it be?' "

"I was like, 'Oh, you're so cute,' " the 31-year-old continued, remembering she asked their parents if it would be OK to answer truthfully. "They were like, 'Sure, what’s the answer?' and I was like, 'I mean, Jeffrey Dahmer is pretty fascinating.' "

"I think I would have loved to have met him," the "Wicked" star added, smiling. "You know, maybe with a third party or someone involved. But I have questions."

While some of the hosts laughed at Ariana's comments, many didn't find her confession funny. "We are not joking about a serial killer who murdered with impunity because the police did not care about black men and gay men. Kindly f*** off!" one person warned the "7 Rings"songstress.

Another noted that Ariana's answer was unnecessary, writing, "Unless the question is 'which serial killer would you have dinner with' and you have a gun to your head there's no damn reason to say this." Another said that Ariana's comments were "vile" and "horribly offensive" to the families of Jeffrey's victims.

"Full f**king stop. Ain’t nothing cute, edgy, cool, or okay with saying this," another critic declared. Someone else agreed, adding, "That's such a disgusting thing to say."

Ariana has not responded to the criticism.
