Australian radio star roasted over ‘disrespectful’ interview with Wicked stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo: ‘Absolute disaster’

An Australian radio presenter has been roasted online after his shocking interview with Wicked stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo.

Nova presenter Kent ‘Smallzy’ Small posted a clip to social media of him speaking to Ariana, 31, and Cynthia, 37, about the movie.

However, the presenter was quickly slammed by fans who claimed he seemed much more interested in speaking to Grande than her co-star.

Smallzy asked Ariana how she felt when she received the call notifying her she had won the role of Glinda the Good Witch, and the US pop star redirected to Cynthia, who she said had a great story about that.

Cynthia then began talking about how she got the call saying she had won the role of the Wicked Witch of the West – but Smallzy quickly cut her off and redirected the questions to Ariana.

‘It was endlessly fun to watch the movie with my fans,’ Cynthia told Smallzy, to which he cut her off and asked Ariana when she would next be performing a music tour across Australia.

Ariana responded by saying that she and Cynthia had enjoyed their time Down Under and that they would both be considering revisiting the country in the near future.

Smallzy then thanked Ariana for chatting to him, while not saying anything to Cynthia: ‘It is so great to see you again Ariana. Thank you for your time.’

Upset fans quickly took to social media to slam the radio presenter over the shocking interview, and question why he all-but ignored Cynthia, a two-time Oscar-nominee. 

‘He needs to be fired immediately. This is super disrespectful. This movie is about them both,’ one fan sniped. 

‘Smallzy has been an a**hole for years. Interesting to see he hasn’t changed,’ a second person added.

‘Time for Smallzy to let someone else run Nova’s nighttime slot,’ a third person chipped in and a fourth added: ‘He might lose his career after this absolute disaster of an interview.’
