ICYMI because you were living under a rock and/or too busy eating
non-contaminated doughnuts to notice, Ariana Grande caused outrage
yesterday when a video emerged of her licking doughnuts and being kinda rude to staff at Wolfee Donuts shop in California.
Now,
however, the pint-size popstar has apologised for saying she ‘hates
America’ in the video, claiming she was just angry about America’s
eating habits.
Arianators
were pretty p*ssed yesterday when the CCTV footage came to light, which
showed the 22-year-old licking doughnuts she didn’t intend to buy
before encouraging her friends to do the same.
The star’s fanbase were left even more peeved by Ari’s reaction to the
server who comes back to the counter with a fresh tray of doughnuts,
with the singer snapping: “What the f*ck is that?”
She then continues with: “I hate Americans. I hate America.”
Hanger is dangerous, y’all.
After
the video caused uproar online, the pop princess took to Twitter to
apologise for and explain her actions, captioning the explantion: “need
to clean up this mouth of mine & set a better example for my babes. i
apologize and i love you. always learning. [sic]”
She wrote: “I am EXTREMELY proud to be an American and I’ve always made it clear
that I love my county [sic]. 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 [sic] known better in how I expressed myself; and with my
new responsibility to others as a public figure I will strive to be
better.”

Errrr,
still doesn’t explain why she decided some doughnuts needed some new
fresh saliva-based icing, and we’re kinda sad there’s no apology for our
new fear that every pastry/doughnut/cake we now buy may come with an
side order of slobber, but okay.
She went on to explain why she
had to pull out of a Major League Baseball concert scheduled to take
place on Saturday, continuing: “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.“
