Ariana Grande Apologizes After “I Hate America” Doughnut-Licking Controversy

[Tasso 17,034]

Grande sent BuzzFeed News this statement on Wednesday:

 

 

 

I am EXTREMELY proud to be an American and I’ve always made it clear that I love my county*. What I said in a private moment with my friend, who was buying the donuts, was taken out of context and I am sorry for not using more discretion with my choice of words. As an advocate for healthy eating, food is very important to me and I sometimes get upset by how freely we as Americans eat and consume things without giving any thought to the consequences that it has on our health and society as a whole. The fact that the United States has the highest child obesity rate in the world frustrates me. We need to do more to educate ourselves and our children about the dangers of overeating and the poison that we put into our bodies. We need to demand more from our food industry. However I should of* known better in how I expressed myself; and with my new responsibility to others as a public figure I will strive to be better. As for why I cannot be at the MLB show, I have had emergency oral surgery and due to recovery I cannot attend the show. I hope to make it up to all those fans soon. That being said let me once again apologize if I have offended anyone with my poor choice of words.

Girl. This is quite the "lets turn this situation into something good and show people I'm not a bitch" situation.

 

Don't go there please.

She's just entitled to her opinion, if it was said by a random person no one would give a fuck. I guess she's saying sorry she got caught not by what she meant.

"and with my new responsibility to others as a public figure I will strive to be better..."

...and from now I will only lick donuts and put them back if the establishment does not have any cameras. Thank you, America.

she literally made a joke that ANY young person would say in that situation but, as usual, celebrities are judged in a different standard and held at ransom by a few social justice warriors

[Americunt 16,422]

I still don't know who in their right mind would lick donuts they hadn't bought, just to spite people. I feel like that alone says a lot about her character.

[Hunty Bear 12,485]

Lmao I don't like the way she tried to backtrack but this predicament is so w/e

Yeah, it's disrespectful to the workers and the other customers. Surely she was raised better than that.
