I don't think the reaction really shocked them, I think the wording is such that makes them seem more surprised than they actually were, I mean when you say "a bit" and then "all they could muster" it really is two opposite ends of the spectrum. At the same time, when you see how she acts around fans not in a huge corporate event, (see the Vine below, go to a-grande news' tumblr to see some videos) it's clear that she loves her fans and is a genuinely sweet person. In this situation I honestly believe it had to do with being given that photo.

That said, I still think she should have handled the situation a little better, I mean she is a celebrity, and I know I'm often on the side of "celebrities are still people," they also should be trained to deal with hard situations they don't expect, like any other person with any other job, it's a corporate event, there needs to be a level of professionalism that everyone has to have.

Also, you have to take Jennette's claims with a bit of a grain of salt, Jennette said in her twitlonger that the friend had no idea she was doing anything wrong, which at first glance is like "oh she's manipulative in nature," but when you look at it again it can also be seen as "You were too much you and not enough me," I don't think Ariana expected Jennette to drop everything and just be a sidekick, she had way too many things on her plate, but what Jennette got out of that is that she for some reason had to be fake around Ariana because she was becoming more famous, which is pretty stupid in my opinion. Other friends like Liz and Matt and Daniella never had that problem, and Daniella and Matt weren't even like Liz in terms of knowing her before Victorious. When she talks about the questions, that she was asking it sounded like Jennette was being really passive aggressive near the end and not standing up for herself at all, when a friend starts to ask those questions, it probably means they've been doing the same things they used to do and suddenly Jennette became colder and more distant with little explanation. I don't think Jennette ever had a real conversation with Ariana about why she was unhappy and I think that's a big problem. I mean she had chances during that "second teir friendship," but it sounded like she left Ariana's completely legitimate questions, that even showed concern for why she was unhappy, unanswered and that just rubs me the wrong way.
