Ariana Grandes recent comment about Jeffrey Dahmer isnt sitting well with the family of one of his victims.

The Boyfriend singer landed some rather condemnatory remarks on Thursday from the family of Tony Hughes, a deaf, nonverbal man murdered by the late serial killer in 1991, as Grande divulged last week that shed invite Dahmer for dinner if she could.

To me, it seems like shes sick in her mind, the victims mother, Shirley Hughes, told TMZ on Thursday . Its not fancy or funny to say you would have wanted to do dinner with him. Its also not something you should say to young people, which she says she did.

Grande admitted as much last Monday on Penn Badgley s Podcrushed podcast. The 31-year-old Grammy winner, who recalled being at a Nickelodeon fan convention where a child asked about her dream dinner guest, laughed while telling her story.

I was like, Jeffrey Dahmer is pretty fascinating. I think I would have loved to have met him. Yknow, maybe with a third party or someone involved. But I have questions, she said . The parents were like, Well explain it later, sweetie.

Shirley told TMZ she wants Grande to understand how hurtful her comments were, and further noted that she and other victims families feel genuine pain whenever Dahmer is mentioned.

The victims sister, Barbara Hughes-Holt, added that Grandes remark glamorizes the notorious serial killer: Unfortunately, until it happens to her and her family, she just doesnt know what we have been through.

HuffPost has reached out to representatives for Grande for comment.
