Scooter told Variety it happened back in 2016. She let him go, and his team was really taken back. He said his people wanted him to speak publicly about it, but he insisted, “We’re not gonna say a word, and this is gonna come back around."

As OK! readers know, she recently had a romance with Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson. The 25-year-old broke off their engagement, following her ex’s sudden death.

Scooter told the crowd at Fast Company’s Innovation Festival that being fired and then rejoining Ariana's team "really gave us the strength for what we never imagined would come that following year." He referred to the bombing at the singer's Manchester concert that killed 22 people. He stood by her following the tragedy, and the two even put on a benefit concert, “One Love Manchester,” 13 days after the deadly attack.
