Ariana Grande has been accused of using a “disabled” bathroom reserved for people with disabilities at Beyoncé’s London concert earlier this month. According to a viral TikTok video from Issy Oakley, a user who suffers from Crohn’s disease, Grande allegedly had a toilet reserved for her own personal use that was off-limits to Oakley and other disabled people attending the event.
In her viral June 5th post, Oakley told viewers that she was enjoying Beyoncé’s show when she suddenly started to feel abdominal pains. “Chron’s disease basically means I have IBS x10,” she said. Oakley continued telling her story, recalling how she was told that Grande had took over the toilet designated for disabled people. Luckily, Oakley said she was taken to another toilet by a security guard.

TikTok User Claims Ariana Grande Booked ‘Disabled’ Bathroom at Beyoncé Show
“We had loads of food in our box beforehand and something has not agreed with the good old Chron’s disease,” Oakley remembered. She added: “Suddenly mid concert, I get a cue to f—k off. The queue for the toilets is astronomical, so I ask if there’s any way I can use the disabled toilets as I have the disease.”
Oakley said that an employee at the concert venue then told her: “unfortunately not as this is saved for a VIP guest.” The TikToker went on: “I then think ‘what an entitled f—k depriving those of IBD of a toilet. They took me to another one a while away and luckily I didn’t s—t myself.”
The video creator continued: “I come back to the news that Ariana Grande had just been met, ironically, just outside the toilet, so it turns out they stopped me using it just in case I stunk the entire thing out so she couldn’t use it.”

Fans Call Out Grande’s Alleged ‘Entitled’ Behavior
Oakley’s followers then headed to her comment section to share their condolences, express their “secondhand embarrassment” at the whole incident and criticize Grande for her alleged actions. “The way we treat celebs so differently grinds my gears tbh lol,” one wrote as another commented: “Sending love and understanding as a fellow IBD warrior… love Ariana but if I was in a flare I would not care.”
Someone else added: “Who cares if a VIP needs the loo! No VIP’s when you need to go!!” One other replied: “I love your humour in it, but I’m so angry for you, it’s completely outrageous even if they did apologise. It’s not good enough.”

One other fan noted: “I hate any rich/celebrity entitlement. Idc she can afford to have her own damn toilet shipped in. Ok close a whole able bodied toilet for her then?” They continued: “What kind of s—t person celebrity or not allows a disabled toilet to be reserved for them? Walk to the next damn one with your able bodied self.”
Grande, as seen in fan-shot footage, did indeed attend one of Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour London gigs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. On June 4th, the Grammy winner took selfies with fans and greeted others during the last of Queen Bey’s five-night tour stop there.
