In an Instagram Story addressed to \u201cBrazil,\u201d Glinda herself explained that there was a \u201csafety issue\u201d on her plane delaying her flight, so she couldn\u2019t make it in time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.vulture.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmhl17w8k00253b782t1zfbnj@published\" data-word-count=\"72\">\u201cMy team and Universal have tried every single thing possible to fix this. We\u2019ve searched every other flight, overnight, early morning, connecting flights, commercial and also private options and absolutely nothing was available or possible that would get us there in time,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI am so heartbroken that I\u2019m unable to be there with you all. We sincerely tried everything we could and I apologize from the bottom of my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.vulture.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmhl1g3a0002a3b78scl2vzwt@published\" data-word-count=\"79\">She had to update her Story later today <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TheWickedSource\/status\/1985747266565452249\" rel=\"nofollow\">with another message<\/a>, this one more of a plea. It began with the terrified words \u201cPlease don\u2019t wish danger on us.\u201d In this new message, she reiterates her disappointment and her love of Brazil and says a second time, \u201cPlease, please do not wish danger on us or assume that we didn\u2019t try.\u201d I also must emphasize that no one, from anywhere, should \u201cwish danger\u201d on anyone!
