"The death of several people at the" Manchester Arena ". The last time I listened to Ariana Grande, I almost died, too, "Levitt wrote. Despite the indignation of users who found the joke blasphemous, the journalist continued to joke in the same spirit, writes The Daily Mail. His next tweet read: "To be honest, the whole year I thought that Ariana Grande is what is ordered at Starbucks". Outraged by Levitt's posts, users turned to social networks for their employers - CBS, AXS, Yahoo! and Examiner. He was called a "scoundrel bastard" and urged the media to never cooperate with him again.
