The 68-year-old cops to being a "reformed old whore" in a tweet.
It's all love between these divas.
Looks like Bette Midler and Ariana Grande have buried the hatchet after Bette called Ariana's sexy image "ridiculous." Offering up the best pseudo-apology we could have ever hoped for, Bette, 68, tweeted:
About my screed on @ArianaGrande , all I can say is, "Spoken like a reformed old whore! She does have a beautiful voice, on a couch or off."

The "screed" she references comes to us via The Telegraph. "It's always surprising to see someone like Ariana Grande with that silly high voice, a very wholesome voice, slithering around on a couch looking so ridiculous," she said in a recent interview. "I mean, it's silly beyond belief and I don't know who's telling her to do it."
Adding insult to insult, Bette continued to offer advice to young women breaking into the entertainment business with: "trust your talent. You don't have to make a whore out of yourself to get ahead."

Ariana responded in kind by challenging the superstar's stance on feminism (and sharing a delightful Dolores De Lago throwback).
