Ariana Grande apologized for a joke she made about former child model JonBenet Ramsey, who was killed in 1996 and became the subject of national headlines for years to come.

In a now-deleted post on Instagram, her friend posted a photo of a tabloid magazine about Ramsey. It had the caption, “No one has done more covers.”
