Ariana Grande offers non-apology for hating donuts, fat people & America

wenn22641444

Yet another story that I discounted earlier this week only for the story to blow up into something crazy. For days, I kept seeing bizarre headlines about Ariana Grande, donuts, licking, a new boyfriend and patriotism. I skimmed one of the stories and I honestly decided to ignore it because the whole thing just seemed… odd. Plus, Ariana Grande is a pill. We know this.

Anyway, here’s the story: Ariana and her new boyfriend (Ricky Alvarez, a backup dancer) plus another couple were in a donut shop in Lake Elsinore, CA. While the donut shop employee had her back turned (I guess?), Ariana and Ricky had a little competition to… lick donuts, or something. Then the video skips ahead (because all of this comes from a security video in the shop) and the donut shop employee brings out a tray of fresh donuts and Ariana snaps, saying loudly: “What the f—k is that? I hate Americans. I hate America! That’s disgusting.” Here’s the video:

So that happened. And it’s still so bizarre to me. I guess she was “disgusted” by the sugary goodness that is the American donut? And if she felt so strongly about the disgusting qualities of donuts, WHY ARE YOU IN A DONUT SHOP? Interestingly enough, Us Weekly had an interview with the donut shop owner who says that Ariana wasn’t licking the donuts, she was spitting on them and that she was very “rude” to the employee – go here to read that interview. So, obviously, Ariana was probably getting a lot of media requests and her publicist was probably in full panic mode, so this statement – attributed to Ariana but likely written by a lackey – was released:

“I am EXTREMELY proud to be an American and I’ve always made it clear that I love my country. 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 one of 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 have 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.”

Sigh… this is such a stupid non-apology. She’s basically saying “I’m extremely proud to be an American and I don’t hate America and you know why I hate America? Because Americans are so fat.” Being a proud American means you have to love the free market – if no one wanted donuts, no one would go to donut shops and all the “disgusting” donut shops would close. That’s the way it works. If Ariana was only in the shop because her friend wanted a donut, then that’s between Ariana and her friend and it has nothing to do with ‘Murica, Freedom, Democracy, Capitalism and Donuts. I hope they replace the Confederate flag with a donut flag. DONUTS = AMERICA. Don’t tread on my donuts!

    But she didn’t even buy them, just left them there for the next customers covered in her spit. I have no clue what her apology has to do with being a disgusting brat.

    • Anne tommy says:

      She sounds revolting. But as a Brit, I assume that you can be a proud American and not be a free market capitalist. Wanting democratic socialism is a perfectly acceptable stance. Spitting on doughnuts though is not…

      • Leigh says:

        The capitalism bit is just a joke, although we ‘Muricans sure do seem to love our (society non-sustaining) capitalism! 😀

      • Bailie says:

        I’m born and raised European, living in America for over 26 years.

        I feel very grateful to be able to live in America, it’s a great country without a doubt in my mind.

        I’m so sick and tired of people complaining about the United States, if you don’t like it here, please just go someplace else, nobody is forcing you to be here.

        No place is perfect in the world, including the USA, whatever humans create has faults, because humans are flawed.

        There is absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever with Capitalism, if people stop buying donughts, chips, fast food and start buying organic, clean food, that’s what will be sold.

        Demand is the key word.

        Capitalist are not holding a weapon to force people to eat greasy, sugary foods, it’s choice on everyone’s part.

        If you don’t want, don’t buy it. Take responsibility for your actions. And if you don’t have willpower, Ariana, work on it instead of point fingers at others.

        Freedom of choice. You don’t just vote when elections are on, you vote with every $$$ you spend. Someone, somewhere is taking notes and that’s what will be produced. Whatever sells in stores is what will be created for consumption.

        Maybe Ariana would enjoy living in Saudi Arabia, she should take her money and spend it on travelling or a college education, she clearly needs it. Desperately!!!

      • Nycjenny says:

        What is so wrong with capitalism? I was born in Britain and have lived in America for over 40 years and I still love it here. I’m very lucky to be here. If you don’t like something you don’t buy. Who in the world is forcing her to eat donughts or anything else? What is she doing in a donught shop, if she is concerned about obesity? Why is she not shopping at Whole Foods Market for organic veggies, fruit or organic quinoa or lentils or wild salmon? Did someone forced her to go to the ” Evil Donught Shop”??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

      • MET says:

        @Bailie that was incredibly well said – thank you!

      • Robin says:

        Thank you Bailie and Nycjenny!

      • tback says:

        Preach @Bailie & @Nycjenny! That brat’s “apology” is a joke

    • Sarah says:

      So…..she didn’t apologize for licking/spitting on them? That was the most offensive thing she did.

      • LeAnn Stinks says:

        It was a lame excuse for pitiful behavior. She got caught and had to say something. Let’s face it, if that camera footage had never been leaked, she would never admit that what she was wrong. She would still think it was “funny” and it would have no connection to bringing awareness childhood obesity.

        I feel so bad for the poor unsuspecting people who consumed those donuts. God knows what germs she is carrying around, if they are anything like her attitude, run to the nearest ER.

      • kcarp says:

        I hate that America produces people like this and that American’s actually pay to see this little twit.

        I am an American, so I am to blame too. I am sorry but Once Less Problem Without You is catchy. I am hanging my head in American shame right now.

      • Trashaddict says:

        kcarp, so true. I do like that in the American capitalist system, I have the right not to listen to this little twit, or buy her music. Ain’t the free market grand?

    • Samtha says:

      Thank you! I don’t care what her opinion is on America, obesity or anything else. Licking and/or spitting on food that people will eat is disgusting and she needs to be held accountable for that.

      • Liz says:

        Exactly! that’s why I found her apology so confusing who cares what she said, what she did was so out of line and gross.

      • Zombie Shortcake says:

        The spitting on/licking doughnuts is Spears/Bynes level crazy.

      • Samtha says:

        She’s not mentally ill; she’s just an asshole.

      • AntiSocialButterfly says:

        Shouldn’t she be charged with vandalism and theft? She rendered the donuts unsellable, constituting a loss for the vendor. This is something else that sucks about the US- celebrities aren’t held to the same legal standards as the non- celebrity. :-/

    • Shambles says:

      Agree with all of you guys– she’s vile. And she made it very clear that she doesn’t frequent donut shops to eat them (#DONUTSHAMER), which means that she went into this donut shop specifically to spit on people’s food, harass the employees, and create a situation that would allow her insult people due to their weight. She deserves to be smacked.

      • Trashaddict says:

        Oh, I would not be surprised if she’s had a secret donut binge or two. Methinks she does protest too much.

      • Serenity says:

        “If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.” – J. K. Rowling

        I think this quote applies here. Not only is Ariana disgusting and extremely unhygienic for licking on display donuts (that she ends up not buying – eww!) but she’s also an overall terrible person for treating the server so disrespectfully.

    • Cleo says:

      THIS. Thank u Liz. Why are so many losing sight and going off on ‘what doughnuts mean to me,’ blatherings?? She should do county jail time, and I’m not kidding.

      If someone said to you, ‘ok what’s worse..a teenager swiping a box of Swisher cigars from a corner store, or an adult millionaire pop star spitting in your food?’

      I guarantee 10 of 10 people would say the latter.

      Yet mike Brown got his head blown off, and people think it was justified because (gasp) he shoplifted!!

      This psycho Ariana grande goes around contaminating food, and people are all, ‘tee hee hee…but donuts are yummy, here’s my yummy donut story..I luuuv apple fritters.’

      • beanie says:

        Really? You are really going there with Michael Brown? “Teenager’ Michael Brown got shot because a) he assaulted a cop b) he reached for the cop’s gun c) he rushed the cop when told to stop. You can bet Mr. Brown would have used the gun had he gotten a hold of it. Approximately 20 people testified to this incident happening in this way. This does not compare in any way with AG licking donuts, gross as that is. Quit making excuses for criminals.

      • Robin says:

        Exactly, beanie. The MSM storyline about Michael Brown has been completely disproven. Too bad so many people still buy the BS.

      • Cleo says:

        @Beanie, you’re sick and just regurgitating a racist cops marvel comic book fantasy LIE (‘B-b-but he got fast and stronger the more bullets I blasted into his head!!) – its so sad that you actually speak as if you’ve watched a video, when the reality is, you’re swallowing evry word from a chicknsht racist cop who killed an unarmed kid. It’s clear to everyone the malfeasance from the prosecutor on the case because when deciding to indict actually convened racists who volunteered to lie (its on record).

    • holly hobby says:

      It’s almost as disgusting as the current Amazing Race winners who went to a third world country and started spit cleaning potatoes used in a challenge. It really was a WTF moment and you can see the vegetable vendor just staring at them in shock. With the potatoes, at least you can peel the skin or scrub the spit away. Not so the donut!

      Don’t spit on something that you did not buy. Didn’t your mama teach you this Ariana? I hope they haul her in for a misdemeanor – food tampering, stealing (if you spat on it, it’s yours but since she didn’t pay for it why not nail her for stealing?), etc.

      • Christine says:

        I have no idea how it works, but I would imagine the producers of the show compensated the vendor. At least I hope…

      • qwerty says:

        I think her mother was too busy teaching her to pose and smile sweetly for the cameras and this is the result. All the American child stars would be fu***d up with or without fame cause they have loser parents.

    • TeaAndSympathy says:

      This disgusting brat of little talent is still around? And still has fans? She might have a better disposition if she scoffed a huge doughnut from time to time…

      • zimmer says:

        I bet that’s the problem, her trainer or nutritionist won’t let her have any doughnuts so naturally she hates anyone that can. She licked them cause she desperately wants/needs the sugar and spit cause she can’t actually take a bite. She hates America b/c if she wants to remain at such a level of stardom, she will probably have to continue to maintain extreme self control around such tempting delights.

    • LA Juice says:

      horrid girl.

    • Ruyana says:

      I hope the donut shop owner sues her entitled little butt for large amounts of cash. She caused his business to be downgraded by the Health Department and probably cost him customers.

      ETA: I hope none of the customers who unknowingly bought and ate her disgusting saliva donuts become ill.

    • Wentworth Miller says:

      So, I’m just wondering if she thought that she had walked into a juicing shop instead of a donut shop.

  2. blue marie says:

    I’m not gonna lie, getting Krispy Kreme while that “hot/fresh” sign is on makes me do a little dance..

    • Mrs. Wellen Melon says:

      Scene: pre-wedding get-together over breakfast so the two families could have a little time together. Her family is American and his is German.

      Read the following in a disgusted German accent cuz that’s how it happened IRL:
      You Americans and your donuts.
      …………………………………………………,,,,,,,,,,,
      BTW, there were no donuts at the breakfast. We Americans with our obese American imperialist donuts!

      • Cait says:

        I just spewed coffee across my desk, and immediately longed for an imperialist doughnut.

      • Norman Bates' Mother says:

        It’s funny and so random. I was going to comment how ridiculous Ariana is for making donuts an American issue as if they were not present in other countries, but this is even more out of touch, coming from a German. How are the German Berliners in any way more healthy or less fattening than American donuts? They are basically the same thing, but a hole is replaced with a sweet, usually fruity filling, which means more calories. You can buy both donuts and Berliners (they are named pączki in my country – Poland) in most of Europe plus all kinds of other delicious pastries and most of (also capitalist) Europe has to deal with obesity as well, but I’d say sodas and cheap fast foods are more responsible for that than a delicious donut eaten from time to time. But yeah Ariana and random German person -‘Merica=imperialism=donuts=fat=endoftheworld

    • jwoolman says:

      Blue Marie – Yeah, even when cold in the grocery store Krispy Kreme is the best. But now you know to watch that tray carefully from the time it’s brought in….

      • blue marie says:

        Ha, I’m going to have to start asking for the lick-free donuts..

      • lonnie says:

        Why place a tray of food within touch distance of a customer? It’s not a buffet.

      • Tiffany says:

        @Lonnie. From the I read, she was demanding that the staff member bring out trays from the back as they were the fresher ones. So that is what they did and it was a continuous cycle. Then when the most recent one was sent out, they had messed with the ones before.

        Now, I will got my American loving obese a*s to KK at 6am for the sole purpose of donuts fresh off the rack. Now, will I piss off the server who is getting them for me. Hell no!!! Common sense 101, never piss off the person serving you food or drink.

        I have stopped going out with certain people because of their attitudes towards people in the food industry.

      • Cleo says:

        Actually ‘now we know,’ to bring Grande up on charges because she’s seen spitting on the food and tray of food on videotape.

    • zinjojo says:

      I can’t read anything about this story without fiercely craving a donut!

      • Cleo says:

        Really, this story makes you ‘crave,’ donuts? It actually makes me want to vomit. If it was a homeless person coating doughnuts in their saliva would you get even a little bit sick? Because I personally don’t care WHO it is, it’s nauseating and a CRIME.

      • TeaAndSympathy says:

        My son hosted a party for his GF’s birthday last Saturday night. He ducked out later and returned with two big boxes of KK doughnuts. My daughter made a doughnut tower. They looked so yummy, but I’ve never liked them. They’re like air covered in lard, deep fried and rolled in sugar, and for me, always leave a horrible aftertaste. It’s Winter here, and I was having a late cup of tea, so thought I’d again try a doughnut, just in case I’d acquired a liking. No such luck. It tasted like it had been fried in old, filthy oil, and left a greasy film and vile taste in my mouth. Sorry, I know so many people adore them, but I just can’t. What this little grotty brat did, though… She should be duct-taped to a wall and pelted with cold, gluggy donuts until she issues a heartfelt, genuine apology.

      • zinjojo says:

        What she did was awful, disgusting and supremely entitled behavior.

        But yeah, then I start thinking about donuts. Not donuts that some rando licked, but the delicious ones at the donut shop in my town.

    • Cleo says:

      But what if that white opaque ‘krispy kreme,’ glaze was actually someones bodily fluid? THAT is the point.

    • Kiki04 says:

      I don’t know why she is picking a fight with donuts. In a competition between donuts and any celebrity, donuts will always win. Always. And that’s even including likeable celebrities.

  3. Lucy2 says:

    It’s OK Ariana, everyone hates you too.
    Also when there is a video of a person doing and saying something, it is NOT TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT!!!!

    • We Are All Made of Stars says:

      I cant say I see any real spitting/licking though. I wonder why she would admit to the statements when the video isnt really incriminating. It looks like shes playfully pretending to lick or smell donuts with her boyfriend.

      • Aussie girl says:

        She really doesn’t have to best reputation, I really don’t like this girl and I think she isn’t all that nice.

      • Lindy79 says:

        I can see something white coming out of her mouth I think it’s the second time she goes into the doughnut (I ain’t going back to re-watch it because it’s gross). The first time it looks like she was sniffing it.

      • BNA FN says:

        No one should play with someone elses food. If she wanted to play with the donuts by lcking, smelling or spitting on it, she should have bought it and then threw them/it away. The nerves of her leaving the donuts for someone else to buy was very arrogant of her. Now the shop has lost their “A” ratings to a “B”. IMO, what she did was not funny. She can stuff her apology because that was not an apology.

      • lucy2 says:

        They definitely either licked it or spit on it. The reactions are much different to the beginning when they’re just sniffing. And even if they didn’t (but they did), she was INCREDIBLY rude when the employee came back with the next tray.
        I read somewhere she just canceled a performance at an MLB game claiming some oral surgery or something (how very Leanne Rimes). Sure. Nothing to do with this at all, sure.

      • Alex says:

        Apparently there’s more video tape in which the owner saw her and the bf spit into the food. The owner said there are 10 cameras in the shop

      • Cleo says:

        Try looking at it on your best screen/monitor…you can see the foamy white coming out of her mouth. I’m gonna be sick. Arrest her, now.

      • TeaAndSympathy says:

        Cleo, I heard a similar report. When are people going to wake up to the fact that there are cameras everywhere? Recently, a teenaged boy was bashed outside a car yard around midnight, 3km from my house. He was in a pretty bad way, but police were stumped, as no witnesses came forward, and the victim couldn’t identify his two attackers. The car yard had no CCTV. However, when the owner of the little Malaysian restaurant across the (busy) road looked at his CCTV footage, his cameras had recorded the attack, and the two culprits were promptly arrested and charged. We’re all constantly being watched.

  4. Loopy says:

    Lol at this woman child, we finally got to see her bratty behavior in action. I know without a doubt believe all previous stories. Wow what a brat!

    • Tate says:

      She and baby Biebs seem like they were made for each other.

    • Bella says:

      @ Loopy +1 I was going to say something referring to her looking like a child and now there is proof of her acting like one. I believe all the other stories about her too. She is clearly childish and bratty and acts like a moron. I was skeptical that she really made comments about hating her fans, but now I believe she it. Hopefully her career will finally end since she isn’t that great of a singer and desperately needs elocution lessons anyway.

    • Cleo says:

      I urge everyone to re-examine who is on the receiving end of their outrage, and why. Do appearances and who may be committing the crime, change how you view the crime?

      For instance, if a homeless person, a collegiate football player or a person of color had done what Grande did, would you teehee, and call them a ‘brat?’

      Most people would call the cops, and if the cops shot them while fleeing, many would point to the video as an example of crazycrazy unpredictable aberrant behavior which maybe put the cop in the right.

      We just had a cop wrestle and attack aa 90lb 14 yr old black girl in a bikini, armed with a towel, and people were claiming maybe the cop was justified in sitting on her spine because the girl MAY have said something as she was leaving. HUNH??

      My personal belief is that ANYONE who spits in the public’s food source, should be up on charges. Its sociopathic and psychopathic behavior.

      • Timbuktu says:

        All good points, although I’d advocate more for toning it down for everyone, rather than cracking down on Ariana more.

  5. Lindy79 says:

    What does that have to do with her spitting(?!?!) on food in a shop she went into of her own free will presumably to buy said food?

    What a cock-knocker!

    • Absolutely says:

      Cock-knocker? Haven’t heard that one before, but I love it. Describes this little brat to a t.

    • Cran says:

      Thanks for cock-knocker. Lol

    • Tiffany :) says:

      She’s an asshole. And an idiot if she thinks talking about obesity will distract from the fact that she was spitting on other people’s food and insulting everyone in her country while she expressed hypocritical outrage.

      • Cleo says:

        I want to see if it does. Sometimes I have little faith in the public, media and pop culture in general. If she buys off the doughnut shop owner (prob making a deal as we speak) she may be able to change the narrative. Personally I think it will backfire. Her career should be toast. Wait for her rehab announcement in 5…4..3..

  6. Franny says:

    What a weirdo!

    • AcidRock says:

      And a dummy too! USWeekly doctored that apology – I saw it online yesterday as it appeared from her own hand, and there were multiple spelling and grammatical errors, the most blatant of which was that she wrote “I am EXTREMELY proud to be an American and I’ve always made it clear that I love my *county*” (not “country”).

  7. Elyse says:

    I could are less that she said she hated America, but it’s so rude and disgusting that she was spitting on something that wasn’t hers. She is not a child, though she may look like one, grow the eff up. I cannot stand rude, entitled people!

    • piecesofme says:

      That’s the weird thing about it to me as well. The “I hate America” bit – I’ve said that in silliness or frustration or whatever; it’s a one-off thing. But the licking/spitting on the donuts and then treating the minimum wage employee like sh*t–that’s what she needs to apologize for.

  8. Kiddo says:

    Ah. This has so much Justin Bieber behavior all over it. Ariana, just go pee in a bucket, like a proper douche-baby, and be done with it.

    • Sixer says:

      Teehee. It *is* a hilarious story though, don’t you think? Every dog whistle and stereotype (from DON’T CRITICISE THE LAND OF THE FREE to SPOILED ENTITLED STARLET DOES SOMETHING DISGUSTING) going. She spit! She criticised America! She’s a brat! She fat shamed! We’ve even got Americans can’t spell doughnuts! in there. And I’m sure that one was just for me and my cheeze and pickle zandwichez.

      I love her for giving this to me.

      • Kiddo says:

        You forgot the stuPID. Going into a doughnut shop, and ranting about hating donuts®, is like going into WalMart to announce you hate Walmart, when no one asked you.

      • Sixer says:

        I think I love you, Kiddo.

      • jwoolman says:

        Ha, ha Sixer – I can’t actually remember it ever being spelled doughnut over the past few decades, guess the preferred US spelling is donuts. Reminds me that I need subtitles for British shows. Took me forever to figure out why Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Bouquet) was always offering biscuits with coffee. Finally I saw one of the biscuits being taken from a package and lo and behold- they were cookies! Our biscuits are more likely served with gravy…. Won’t even tell you how long before I figured out what a lorry is (I think years).

        I know two different translators who translate between UK English and U.S. English. Really. There’s a market for it.

      • Kiddo says:

        What happened was Dunkin’ Donuts, a chain doughnut and coffee shop. Slowly, in American dictionaries, both spellings are becoming accepted: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/donut.

        It’s like how Band-Aid became the accepted norm of describing adhesive bandages, even though it is a brand name product.

      • Sixer says:

        You say Band-Aid, we say plaster. But do you count hoover as a verb? That’s my proprietary eponym question of the day?

        jwoolman – ah, but how many times can you say “red lorry, yellow lorry, red lorry, yellow lorry” without going wronger’n wrong?!

      • Lucrezia says:

        Heh 🙂 Here in Australia, we normally use the Queen’s English, but we’re exposed to so much US media that we tend to be fluent in American as well. So I often find myself doing translation on the internet. I didn’t know you could paid for it!

        To be honest though, I’d probably screw it up and use a mish-mash. The internet is wreaking havoc on my spelling and grammar. I learnt to spell and punctuate the British way, but now I’ve been exposed to so much American-English that I get confused. Z or s? Comma inside the quotation marks or outside?

        To top it all off, I saw an episode of Elementary where Sherlock was saying zedbra, and the American cop was saying zeeeeebra … and I suddenly realised I had no idea how you’re supposed to say it in Australian.

    • jinni says:

      They are both managed by that Scooter Braun guy, so maybe this is something to do with how he manages his artist. Either way she is gross and I hope this screws up her career, especially since she is terrible to fans and generally acts conceited and looks down on people.

      • cait says:

        Amazing how not one, but two artists that Scooter manages are awful, spoiled brats. Who’s next? Tori Kelly? Because he manages her, too, unfortunately. And she seems to be on the rise (because she’s actually talented), like Bieber and Grande once were/have been.

      • wr says:

        I think he manages Carly Rae Jepsen as well. But I don’t think she’ll ever be controversial.

    • SnarkySnarkers says:

      HAHA! I forgot about ol’ Bucket wizzer! You know, the concern trolling obesity comment is rich from a girl that must be carried around everywhere she goes.

    • Julie says:

      i was thinking about Bieber too. but that whole american comment will damage her way more than him peeing or her spitting.

      • Junior says:

        I think you’re right. Both artists depend on fans’ parents to buy much of their merchandise and concert tickets, and the parents will not be amused by this.

  9. ldub says:

    GTFO of America then!

  10. Greata says:

    Horrible bobble headed little troll!

  11. Junior says:

    She is the female Justin Bieber. Too much, too soon, too little education, too little common sense. But she’ll come back from this. Lots of people hate America – see Azalia Banks – it’s rather trendy at the moment, even among Americans, particularly well-educated ones. If Ariana had insulted a specific ethnic group, it would be different. But insulting *all* Americans won’t upset anyone except crazy right-wingers and Country Western stars.

    • Decorative Item says:

      Yes, it’s very trendy to hate on the US. As an immigrant, I find this very disturbing. Tony Blair once said about America, “The quality of a country should be judge on the number of people trying to get into it”. I agree 100% with him. Many people criticize America without any understanding of the real alternatives out there. Yes, you can take snippets of the way other countries are run and complain at how well they have it. But, without understanding the entire system and how it operates within the complete economic landscape you really don’t know what you are saying.
      There are many things that need to be fixed in America, but that does not make America, or Americans bad. There is no utopia out there and I for one find America bashing ignorant and offensive.

      • Kitten says:

        @Junior-I’m a well-educated liberal and when my French family criticizes the US it upsets me. A lot. What bugs me is that they never seem to criticize the French government, which has its own set of problems. Anyway…

        ITA 100% Decorative Item. It’s not the specific criticisms that irritate me, it’s the sweeping generalizations made by people who have never even set foot in this country before. I do get defensive, because I feel like so often it is unfounded or unfair. If Americans made those same generalizations about another country, we’d be accused of being insular, arrogant, and ignorant.

      • PinaColada says:

        +1 I am an educated, thin, fit American who doesn’t really care for donuts, but my kids do, so F off, Arianna! For traveling so much of the world, including inside the U.S., you sure know nothing about it or its people!

      • Crumpet says:

        Well said Decorative Item! I endorse this post.

      • Me too says:

        Hating America isn’t trendy for all I us. I have been disappointed in us, as a society, for nearly all my life. I never drank the koolaid. There is a difference in being disappointed with the people that live here and the government itself. For the record, my problem is the people.

      • blanche says:

        @Kitten YES!! The sweeping generalizations drive me nuts! And this 100x: ” If Americans made those same generalizations about another country, we’d be accused of being insular, arrogant, and ignorant.”

      • kri says:

        Decorative Item-thank you for your eloquence ! It thrills me when someone from another country is happy to be here. Oh, yes, we have our share of problems here. But I believe that most Americans want to change things for the better. And we will.

      • lucy2 says:

        Well said Decorative Item and Kitten.
        Sweeping generalizations are never a good idea.

      • Other Kitty says:

        It bothers me very much when people–especially Americans who have always been free to say so–bash and hate on America. I am American and my hubby is a naturalized citizen. I spent nearly a month in an African country with a dictatorship (though they call it a “democratically elected” presidency–the result of a coup) and I’ll tell you, I thank my lucky stars that I’m American.

        Many of these educated people who spout off how much they hate it here have never actually lived in a country where freedoms that we take for granted are either non-existent or severely limited. An email can land you a knock on your door from a government official.

        America has a lot of difficult problems stemming from our history and I’m not denying that. I also do not like how coarse our society has become. Some of our freedoms are being eroded and taken away by what I see as overreaching government–presided over by several administrations. I don’t like that. But we still enjoy freedoms that MANY around the world do not. I am so thankful.

        Also let me just say that America is the society that has allowed and enabled Ariana Grande–a mediocre singer of not particularly notable talent–to become rich and famous. So she should watch her mouth. Eat some humble pie.

      • yogapants says:

        Unfortunately, she would probably just spit on the humble pie.

    • Isabelle says:

      This is an entitled family thing as well, her brother Frankie is just as much of a narcissist as Ariana. The family seems like a family of douches.

  12. Mirandaaah says:

    I hope she goes away.

  13. Jen43 says:

    I haven’t had a doughnut in sooo long and those look amazing!

    I wish this one would just go away. I can’t find anything even remotely positive about her, and yet my girls adore her. I hope she gets charged with something because that is some disgusting, entitled behavior.

    • Kitten says:

      I can’t remember the last time I had a donut.

      Doughnut or donut?

      Who cares. Let’s get some.

      • doofus says:

        I had a DD croissant/donut last weekend…

        *hangs head in shame*

        (but not really cause it was GOOD)

      • Jen43 says:

        I will happily buy you a doughnut, but sadly i cant have one because I’d be on a doughnut bender for the rest of the day.

      • I Choose Me says:

        Right? I like the glazed ones myself or the ones lightly dusted with powdered sugar. But I’m usually good at resisting. My sugar vice is coke.

    • Aren says:

      The place should definitely sue her, specially since it seems they were sanctioned.

  14. NewWester says:

    “Emergency Oral Surgery” I guess she had to be rushed to the hospital to remove her foot from her mouth.

  15. Tig says:

    Wow, way to go, Ms Cat Ears! Never got the hype over her “voice”, but this is beyond Beiber. Understand the authorities are investigating her- good. Maybe she can go back to YouTube-vile. And emergency oral surgery as an excuse??? That’s a good one.

  16. Otaku Fairy says:

    I don’t care that she said she hates the country she was born in; I totally think it’s fine to say that whether they’re being dead serious or dramatically and inarticulately expressing a random frustration in a private conversation. It’s like how, when I’m frustrated sometimes, I’ll randomly blurt out “I hate humans” or “I hate homo sapiens” (only around family and friends, because the wrong stranger might hear you say something like that and think, “WTF is wrong with you?”). It doesn’t mean I REALLY hate the human race.

    What she does owe an apology for is putting her mouth on food that’s supposed to be served to other customers. That’s totally inconsiderate and unsanitary, not to mention bizarre and childish. Who does that? If I were to do something like this, my worry would be how I was going to make it up to the people at that restaurant rather than the fact that people got their feel feels hurt about me half-heartedly dissing my own country in a private conversation with my friend, but unfortunately that comment is the part of the story that seems to be generating the most rabid outrage.

    • The Eternal Side-Eye says:

      Exactly.

      I get why she’s apologizing for the America comment because in the end that’s the one that will hurt her but honestly…that gross human being put her mouth/saliva on other people’s food that was then sold to other people.

      I’d be SO mad if I’d bought a donut from there within the time frame of her pulling that crap.

    • Wren says:

      I agree entirely. I say mean, exaggerated things sometimes in private, usually out of frustration. I’ve probably said something along the lines that she did at one time or another because the wanton consumption of sugary empty calories in this country gets me down too. Mostly it’s hyperbole but if you didn’t know that you may think I’m a terrible person. I don’t think she owes us a thing for that.

      The spitting on or licking the food though? Absolutely disgusting and she should stop acting like a turd and apologize for that. Completely unacceptable.

    • I Choose Me says:

      Agree completely.

  17. Decorative Item says:

    Well, I hate spoiled, ungrateful brats who think they understand everything but are really stupid as all hell.
    And you know what else I hate? I hate lazy little self absorbed pigs who think that it’s OK to humiliate the poor saps who work for them by demanding that they carry said lazy pig around.
    Also, I hate when little shits, who are paid way more than they are worth, spit in the face of the country that created that opulent lifestyle for them.
    Lastly, I hate when people spit on other peoples fuckin food!

  18. Esmom says:

    She really does seem like a pill to the nth degree. And that “apology” is ridiculous. I wonder who wrote it for her?

    • Samtha says:

      I think she wrote it herself. She’s been posting things like that since she was on Victorious, the Nickelodeon show, and not really famous enough for an entourage or “people.”

    • ozmom says:

      I am so tired of these looooooong non apologies. Just release an honest statement stating “I’m sorry I got caught” and be done with it

  19. someone says:

    It doesn’t matter what she was doing – licking, spitting, sniffing the donuts – it’s all gross. Don’t put your face that close to food you don’t intend to buy.

    How long do you think it took for someone in her camp to come up with the “Americans are obese” excuse to explain her comments?

    • Jay says:

      Yup. I love the health concern trolling in her apology. In reality I suspect she’s less concerned with people’s health and more concerned with aesthetics.

    • Absolutely says:

      This! Why are your nose and mouth even that close? Especially if it grosses you out so much. What is she, 10?

  20. Prairiegirl says:

    Why is this child a thing? Who buys her music and would they please stop.

    • Aren says:

      I think her fans are just kids who also boss their parents around.

    • lucy2 says:

      Despite how she presents herself, she’s not a child. She’s in her early 20s, well old enough to know better.

  21. Jag says:

    Why was she not kicked out for licking the donuts or spitting on them? That’s absolutely disgusting and it would make me want to never go into that shop again that they wouldn’t do something to make her leave.

    As for what she said, I’d love it if she’d go somewhere else and not live here.

    • Eva says:

      I think they didn’t realise what she had done until they reviewed the footage as the server’s back was turned. What a rude little brat she is.

  22. Julie says:

    she was hated before with her diva moments, than liked for a a very short time because of one feminist tweet and now its back to hating.

    the whole donut story is disgusting, who in their right mind would think that is cool? consindering her behaviour before im quite sure though that people working for her did the same thing with her food.

    • Aren says:

      Yes, I thought what she said of not being “somebody’s girl” was very positive, but I think it’s now obvious how uneducated she really is.

      I once saw a kid of around 12 chew on a huge bar of butter at Wal-Mart in México, I reported it to an employee and she just looked at it, and turned the “teeth marks” around. Not a single word was said to the fat kid (he was quite fat).

      Ever since, I absolutely hate kids who ruin others’ food.

  23. grabbyhands says:

    So basically, she’s sorry she didn’t realize she was being recorded by the security camera but it is okay that she was spitting on donuts and saying what she said because this country has an obesity problem. Okay.

    You’re certainly entitled to feel any way you want, but maybe stay away from places that obviously disgust you and save your self righteous rants for the internet so innocent people don’t have to eat food tainted with your bodily fluids.

  24. Naddie says:

    I knew she was coming to this, it’s in her face. My dear, you got money, go to live somewhere else if you hate America so much. And don’t ever talk trash about donuts, they’re nothing but love.

    • Junior says:

      I agree – her opinions about the U.S. are completely her own business (as are her opinions about other countries.) But it’s kind of uncool to loathe a group of people while simultaneously doing your best to profit from them. If she’d said she hated Canadians, for example, she would be welcome to avoid touring in Canada or offering her music for sale there. Hate the U.S.? You do you, but don’t try to make bank there off the people you despise.

  25. Mia4S says:

    Well the store owner has involved health officials and the police. There will be a payment made I’m sure and then maybe this little girl will learn her manners.

    • Aren says:

      Learn?! I’m sure she does this all the time. This nasty personality didn’t develop over a year or two, she has probably always been entitled and rude.

  26. Flo says:

    Guess who can call her a Ho-nut 🙂

  27. j. says:

    The dainty cat like licks bother me the most, for some reason. I’d rather she just spit.

  28. Jess says:

    Definitely a non apology and doesn’t explain why her bratty as* was spitting all over the donuts. This is why I don’t let my daughter have anything to do with Ariana, I refuse to support her in any way.

    • Julie says:

      “doesn’t explain why her bratty as* was spitting all over the donuts.”

      well what would they say? there is nothing someone could say to make this seem ok.

      • Jess says:

        Exactly. I don’t know why she even bothered saying anything at all, just made it worse in my opinion. Can’t stand her or her voice!

  29. Mispronounced Name Dropper says:

    I prefer her cousin Miranda Sings.

  30. Z says:

    The brat didn’t apologize for treating the female worker like crap and going in to a small business and ruining their products and livelihood just for laughs with her stupid friends. That’s way more enraging than what she said about Merica.

  31. Moxie Remon says:

    Those are good donuts.
    Anyway, i knew that one day we would see actual footage of her being herself, so i’m actually glad that this happened.

  32. H says:

    When I was her age I had moved from the US to Australia and decided I hated America. Marched in protests (Nuclear Disarmament Party was big at the time in Oz). Guess what? I outgrew it, moved back to the States and even joined the American military. So, I’m giving her a pass on hating the US. It might just be a phase.

    But licking the donuts? No. She’s a disgusting brat. If I was the donut shop I’d sue her. They have the nastiness on tape. What if her actions cause them to lose customers? I probably wouldn’t buy from them if I knew people were spitting on the food.

  33. Tulip says:

    She’s just being a kid with her boyfriend. She’s being too silly to take seriously, but don’t do that to the food.

    • Naddie says:

      The thing is, she’s 22. Also, spitting in someone else’s food and treating bad a worker is kinda serious. If she was my daughter (most like my sister, by our age) I’d be seriously disappointed and pissed.

    • lucy2 says:

      I don’t consider shouting “What the F***is that?” at an employee of a store simply doing their job as “being too silly”, and I don’t consider someone in their 20s a kid.

    • FingerBinger says:

      Spitting on or licking food is disgusting. That’s not being silly.

    • Other Kitty says:

      Yeah, really. I never did anything like that when I was 22–or ever. It’s completely gross and I can’t imagine doing that ever. She’s old enough to know better.

      • Tulip says:

        Her actions were wrong, I agree. I call her silly because what she did-while it was offensive-was hardly thug-like or even worthy of this much outrage. Some rich 22 year old mouths off a hard working person and does idiotic things in order to flirt with her boyfriend. That’s not original or even terribly uncommon. I agree that as a legal adult she should handle herself better. I also agree that there are 22 year olds who behave much better than her. But it’s not worth giving her the attention that outrage would give her, which is why I say she’s just being silly. “Silly” is a word that dismisses this attention junkie, which is why I chose it.

    • Cleo says:

      Aw, how sweet..you sound like her mama with that lovely gentle scolding. OK, now imagine that’s some big burly tatted roided MMA dude with bad teeth coating your kids doughnuts in saliva? Not so warm and fuzzy eh? A crime is a crime no matter who is doing it, and SHE is a sociopath. She needs to be charged.

      • Tulip says:

        To each their own.

        But I’m very upset that people on here now know I’m her mother. Now I’ll have to come up with a new name and email. But just so you know, she gets this bad behaviour entirely from her father’s side.

      • Cleo says:

        Nope, sorry I absolutely do think its “thug-like,” to have people putting their bodily fluids in food that I buy.

        You might think that because the person looks like a barbie doll, that’s its twee, silly and just kids having fun – but that’s mostly because your perspective may be screwed.

        Its people like you that end up getting in cars with Ted Bundy because he too, didn’t look like a ‘thug,’ or letting your 8yr old go visit over Jerry Sandusky’s house cause he’s such a great coach or who think Jodie Arias was harmless.

        You have an image of what’s threatening and crazy or gross, and when reality doesn’t match up you’re absolutely willing to dismiss the gross and terrible behavior and make up excuses for the person you identify with.

        Also why bring up her boyfriend flirting? Come on. Really? Since when does flirting with your bf EXPLAIN hocking loogies into some preschoolers food?

        Why bring that up? I don’t even get your logic.

        The only reason to bring up the douche following her lead is to suggest her mouth could have been in his shorts riding his skid marks before they were on YOUR doughnut.

        Again, she’s a gross ADULT who committed a crime and I hope she’s charged and sued.

    • Katie says:

      I’m sorry but that attitude is exactly why she acts that way. There’re no consequences for young peoples actions anymore. When do we begin holding them accountable so they an learn to be good people instead of spoiled entitled monsters?

  34. Jane says:

    Perhaps she should be wearing devil’s horns on her head instead of those ridiculous cat ears when she performs. It’ll suit her better and show her true colors.

  35. Me too says:

    This untalented hack! Being born with a natural singin ability is NOT a talent and she doesn’t even do it well. Her songs and her voice are awful and it baffles me that she gets so much radio play. Actually, no it doesn’t. 99% of what is played on the radio is absolute crap and shouldn’t even be called music. The fact that so many of the mindless drones out there listen to that garbage is a REAL reason to be disappointed in America. Also, she does have a point. Americans are fat and disgusting. Don’t agree? Look around.

  36. The Eternal Side-Eye says:

    She’s a jerk and she’s the worst kind of jerk.

    Swaggy Bieber is just inconsiderate and throws tantrums, GrandeMochaLatte seems like the type who enjoys ruining and stepping on people below her.

    You have the girl on tape saying she’d mockingly like to speak to “the donut professional” and when a woman brings out a fresh tray she demands “WTF are those?”. Followed by her and her boyfriend tonging donuts that were SOLD to other people unknowingly, sucking each other’s faces and then licking some more.

    I don’t know why this story makes me so mad but it does. I just can’t stand a jerk or a donut molester.

    • Aren says:

      I didn’t want to watch the video because I knew it would make me angry, but if those two were rude to the employers I seriously hope this idiot’s career is over soon in a very dramatic way.

      And I agree, she’s a donut molester!

  37. jwoolman says:

    Even though I just had a big meal, I now have this inexplicable craving for donuts. But now there is also fear….

  38. Kiki says:

    She is on my next list of Pop Stars that I really dislike. Rihanna, Justin Beiber, Iggy Azaela and now Ariana Grande. These people are such self-entitled, ungrateful little spoiled brats that thinks the world should bow done to them because they are rich pop stars and we are not. Ariana Grande should takeher pony tail, pixie stardust self and just go away. Her non apology is an injury to insult.

  39. Babycakes says:

    We can’t all starve on cocaine like her.

  40. margie says:

    She was supposed to be the headliner at the All Star Game Concert here in Cincinnati, and dropped out. This was our city’s awesome response:

    http://www.cincyshirts.com/index.php/cincyshirts/cincyshirts/no-donut-lickers-allowed.html

    She just gained an entire tri-state area of haters.

  41. kri says:

    She is so disgusting. What bothers me most isn’t her insane rantings, though. The mumblings of a twit don’t concern me. I just can’t get past her complete disregard for the employees and customers of that shop. How can she think she should be able to go into a place and behave as if it is her own private kiddie store? I’m sick of these people. Put her on an island with Iggy.

  42. Arien says:

    Her Wikipedia page is so heavily edited you’d think she deserves a Nobel Prize for Awesomeness.

  43. Nicolette says:

    “Don’t Tread On My Doughnuts” LOL and amen to that!
    First of all that apology was not written by her it was written for her. Either way it’s nothing but BS and an attempt at damage control. As for her spitting or licking the doughnuts so the next unsuspecting customer can have her saliva on their food is disgusting, sick and shows she has no regard for anyone. A self entitled little diva who hopefully has just heard the ring of the timer signaling her 15 minutes is over. Goodbye and good riddance and we’ll have one less problem without ya honey. And as for hating America, that’s the beauty of our freedom, no one is forced to live here. Don’t love it? Don’t appreciate that you were able to make something of yourself and live the lavish lifestyle? Get out. Go live somewhere else where they might not allow you the freedoms you have come to take for granted here. She should be banned from radio, her crappy music pulled and concerts cancelled. There are many including myself who find her words extremely offensive. And as for the fat shaming, how about some soul shaming Ariana. You may be pretty on the outside but ugly as hell on the inside. Take your little Bratz doll wardrobe and put on your white pleather boots and head for the exit. No one will miss you.

  44. Tara says:

    I think this is hilarious. She wants to make it about her concern over the country’s obesity problem? Such nonsense! I don’t know much about this girl, but I saw a video where she was sliding down a chair trying to be sexy and it was the most forced, awkward thing. She’s being called the next Mariah Carey so maybe she is a wanna be who is trying to be a huge diva like her.

    • NeNe says:

      LOL!!!! Next Mariah…. G-d help us!!!

    • Kiki says:

      Ariana Grande is a Mariah Carey wannabe. She may have a voice with talent (lack there of), but she will never have ‘the Voice’. Mariah is the one of the best singers in the world and Ariana Grande will never be any close to her.

  47. Dawn says:

    Hmmm….maybe a year or two of bad sales will change her little bratty mind. Until that time however I will not drop a dime on this narcassisstic little bitch.

  48. platypus says:

    I read a theory that said when someone becomes very famous at a young age, they tend to stay at pretty much that same emotional age for the rest of the lives. Same concept that’s known to happen when someone experiences a traumatic event. I’m not sure if the theory holds water, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all, most of them act like 8 year olds who have been raised by wolves.

    • holly hobby says:

      Yeah that sums it up but not everyone turns out like that. Shirley Temple grew up and served as a US Ambassador but those were different times. Gen Y super stars are totally different.

      • Vampi says:

        Yep! That’s the rub. There ARE no Gen Y super stars. They are all autotuned puppets….and CAN be replaced. She’d do well to learn not to bite the hand that feeds her skank muppet ass.

    • bokchoi says:

    • FingerBinger says:

      I think people are losing their $hit over her spitting on the food. She’s entitled to her opinion about America.

    • Nicolette says:

      Sorry you feel that way. Don’t know where you’re from but don’t you have any pride in your country? I can’t speak for everyone but I am sick and tired of our country being bashed, and if little Miss Doughnut Spitter wants to bash it and hates it so very much she can leave. We must not be that horrible otherwise we wouldn’t have so many people wanting to come live here. I’m proud of my country, I love my country and appreciate the freedoms I have been able to live with all my life. Freedoms that I know very well I wouldn’t have in many other places.

      • Kiki says:

        Show you patriotic flag flow. Amen to you @Nicollete. I just want her and every annoying, self useless brats to just go way and leave the musically talent for the radio AirPlay.

      • Other Kitty says:

        Thank you Nicolette! I agree and Ariana and others are free to hate America and to say so out loud, and I am free to say to them that if they hate it here so much, either work to change it or go live somewhere else! I appreciate my country and I love my country.

      • platypus says:

        I’m not bokchoi, but I’ve noticed this being a big cultural difference in relation to my country (which is in Scandinavia), and always found it kind of interesting. Pride in general is more of a taboo and reserved emotion here. If you are proud, you’re implying that you think you’re better than everyone else, and then you are fair game. Simply having been lucky enough to be born in a developed country isn’t generally seen as a good reason to be proud, so we have a hard time understanding how Americans can be so patriotic, especially in the face of so many major issues.

    • Katie says:

      Well that’s the beauty of America. You don’t get to stop people from defending their opinion.

  50. wow says:

    She’s right beside Bruce Jenner on my list of people that are annoying.

  51. The Original Mia says:

    The shop owner reported her to authorities. She’ll probably be fined. Good. Idiot little troll.

  52. word says:

    The fact she licked those donuts is the worst part ! Who does she think she is? I bet this video has celebs nervous. They don’t realize cameras are EVERYWHERE. Beyonce and Jay-Z learned that the hard way too lol.

    On a different note, this girl moves from one man to another so quickly. She needs to stay single for a while and sort herself out. She has issues.

  53. Dr.Funkenstein says:

    May I say, those are some fine looking donuts. USA!

  54. Margareth says:

    The irony is that Ariana Grande’s songs are the musical equivalent of a doughnut. If it wasn’t for the doughnut-eating America, who would buy her albums and tickets to her concerts? Skinny French intellectuals? I don’t think so.

    Anyway, the owner of the doughnut place should sue her for millions.

    • jc126 says:

      Excellent point about her music being sugary junk.
      I don’t care if she inarticulately complained about obesity in America, or about Americans overeating on junk – which begs the question what is she doing in a donut shop – but I do care about her contaminating other people’s FOOD. With not only her saliva, but her boyfriend’s, whom she kissed before licking other people’s food. She should be charged with something, seriously.

    • Samtha says:

      Apparently not many people are buying tickets to her concerts anyway. I just read elsewhere that the prices for her shows were dropped to $16 a ticket because they’re not selling.

  55. me says:

    Donut sales will increase this month just from this story. Just seeing a pic of a donut makes people crave one…yummm.

  56. EmmyGrant says:

    I believe patriotism is arrogant and divisive, much like many religions. I feel fortunate to be an American because the U.S. is a relatively good place to live, but I don’t feel I deserve to be “proud” about the accident of my birth. In addition, this nation has many shortcomings in areas that other nations handle better (eg healthcare, unemployment, gun control).

    • Lynnie says:

      Thank you!!! Sooo many people are acting as if you don’t support America 100% you must be a cliche sap who’s just going with the anti-American trend and needs to get out. Super overt patriotism is often reckless and disturbing.

    • Maygunn says:

      So that gives you the right to say you hate your country?

  57. KatieD says:

    Okay, Ariana…you hate Americans (even though you were born here)…well, I can’t stand pretentious, entitled, and spoiled little brats with MEDIOCRE “talent,” who only get record deals because of their wealthy daddy’s connections within the industry. So I guess we’re even. Please go back to boning tacky rappers who end up publicly talking about your nether regions. Kthxbye 🙂

    Ariana Grande with her Sally beauty supply clip on ponytail, wonk eye, and indecipherable nasal voice needs a slap. The line forms behind me & wraps around the block.

    • Vampi says:

      I’m in! Is the line long? I may need a cocktail or two if there’s a wait.

      • Vampi says:

        *facepalm*
        You said “wraps around the block.”
        Perhaps I’ve had too may cocktails already.

    • Tara says:

      Lol. You summed her up perfectly. Sick of that stupid ponytail too. She thinks she has to wear it because it’s her precious trademark.

  59. Carole says:

    The little 5 foot princess is going to “eat her words”, pardon the pun, when she starts to age and will most likely struggle a little with weight just because she is so petite.
    The evil part in me looks forwards to pics of her as this happens….

  60. islandwalker says:

    Demi Lovato should send her a thank-you note and a dozen glazed doughnuts for getting her the new gig.

  61. a.d. says:

    i mean, is this really surprising? from the hateful rant about her fans to throwing serious mariah carey sized diva tantrums, this little real-life ‘bratz’ doll has been getting too big for her big girl pants since day 1.. she’s an annoying, egotistic, spoiled, rude little snot & her & her ago need to go!

  62. jferber says:

    How about this angle: she’s an angry food and fat hater because she’s either bulimic or anorexic? She probably forced herself to throw up the donut glaze afterwards. In the first pic, her chest is flat like a little boy’s. Think how hostile a person can become because of the not-eating thing and then add to that entitlement, money, adulation, whatever. She’s so gross. And that lame excuse about childhood obesity, as if that were an issue she really “cared” about. Please. As if she cared about anyone other than herself!

    • boredblond says:

      And maybe that oral surgeon will explain to her that stomach acid from tossing your cookies nonstop does more damage than the cookies. Such an entitled immature little bitch, obviously ignorant of any world except the tiny celeb orb she inhabits.

  63. mac-simple says:

    the Doughnuts business should sue her for spitting on their food. thats just disgusting.
    if she cares about food that much, she should respect others people’s nutrition choices, regarless she agrees with them or not.
    i thought that people who ate consciously also wanted to improve themselves in diferents aspects.
    what will she do if someone dropped accidentally cow milk on her so precious low fat-low calories-sugar free-and self esteem booster organic granola and almond milk breakfast!!??
    i doubt she will be ok with just an apology like the one she wrote, ariana will probably decide to punish us by dropping 2 albums at once!! dude, thats like MONTHSSS of extended album promotion!!

  64. JenniferJustice says:

    Why was she not make to purchase the donuts if she contaminated them? I’m confused.

    • Christine says:

      I don’t think she was caught in the act. I’m not sure how they knew to watch the videos though… unless someone said something afterwards?

      • word says:

        I can’t believe they just leave food out in the open like that without a staff member there watching. Anyone could put anything on those donuts ! Watching the video afterwards is useless, by then the donuts would have been sold and eaten !

  65. JenB says:

    That stupid girl needs an a$$ whoopin. This kind of entitled behavior, especially (!) contaminating food for the public, drives me insane. And she was so rude to boot. Like Reese’s drunken “American citizen” I found amusing at least. This trash just needs to be taken out.

  66. jferber says:

    About the Mariah Carey comparison, just no. Mariah is not hateful like that. Is Maria a ditzy diva who wears evening gowns and high heels to swim? Who has in her contract that black candles must be lit in her dressing room? Of course, but that’s why we love her. This Ariana pig will burn herself out with her bad behavior. Not that this is a good thing, but she should remember that Americans are much more unforgiving of females transgressing. I predict that she will never recover from this and other future abhorrent acts she has yet to commit.

  67. Josefa says:

    I tried to defend you, Ariana, but you just keep making it harder.

  68. db says:

    Ok, so intelligence isn’t Ariana’s strong suit.

  69. Christine says:

    What happened to the good ol’ days of pissing in buckets?

  70. karen says:

    Ughh, she is an insufferable brat. Period.

  71. Bella says:

    What a crock. What does this grown up trapped in an 8 year old’s body really care about the health of Americans, or anyone for that matter? She’s a catty little bitch who probably eats whatever crap she wants but has a fast metabolism and has probably always been underweight with her child-like body so now she points the finger and acts judgmental. Obviously she was in the doughnut shop for a reason and had no problem licking one of the doughnuts like the immature idiot that she is, so she is a hypocrite about not eating junk food. I’ve known plenty of people who thought that as long as they weren’t fat, they were healthy even if they didn’t workout or eat healthy.

    Nobody wants to hear Ariana Grande’s thoughts on the obesity epidemic in the US. Her job is to sing and that is as far as it should go. I found her non-apology to be more offensive than her comments caught on video because she had the audacity to mention her feelings about how people don’t care about what they eat. This isn’t the first time this girl has been caught out there saying something really stupid, but it IS the first time there has been concrete proof that she couldn’t get out of. She is an arrogant little brat and I hope this hurts her career.

    • Samtha says:

      She was actually a normal weight when she was younger. When she started her singing career, after her Nick show, she lost at least 20 pounds. I think it’s likely she has an eating disorder (or at the least disordered eating), though I don’t think that’s why she spit/licked the donuts. It was solely because she’s an entitled brat.

  72. shi_gatsu says:

    (Update)!!! Wolfee’s Donuts was downgraded from an A to B by the environmental health department because of this. They should sue her, unfortunately taking the tray out from behind the glass is against protocol.

    • Vampi says:

      But..but..but.. She’s a special snowflake that can go into a business, demand to see “the donut professional”, have the employee bring out trays for her special self to look over and mock, then lick their products, treat people like crap, and leave without buying a thing and leaving contaminated food to be sold to unsuspecting customers….because she’s famous and rich. And people like her, Bill Cosby, Tom Sellick Tyga, etc… Are #abovethelaw

    • word says:

      Yeah food should never be allowed to just sit there. Imagine all the people that come in there and sneeze/cough on those donuts. It’s gross to think about. This is why I hate Buffets as well.

  73. M.A.F. says:

    My goal when I travel (especially to Europe) is to find the local doughnut/pastry shop. Others go for the local beer or local cuisine, I go for fried dough. The best doughnut so far was the one I had in Venice, Itlay. Light and airy and they used sugar powder instead of icing.

  74. Karma would be if from here on in…all restaurant servers made sure the spit in the little Troll’s food before serving it to her. Just thinking that makes me smile.

    • Vampi says:

      Ohhh! That’s SO evil, but…I can see thinking that. I at least hope SHE thinks about that the next time she eats out. Someone should tweet her that..lol!

    • word says:

      She only eats at Vegan restaurants plus I”m sure she’ll have someone go and get the food for her as she is probably afraid of someone spitting in her food now lol.

  75. paranormalgirl says:

    She’s disgusting and an entitled little beast.

  76. jferber says:

    My prediction is Ariana will take a lot more heat for donut-spitting/licking than Tom Selleck will for water-stealing. Sexism right there.

    • word says:

      I heard about the water stealing and I was disgusted. Some rich celebs think they own the world or something. My God. Yeah, I agree Ariana will get more hate. It’s also because there have been numerous stories about Ariana’s “diva behavior” so people already hated her before “donut gate” lol.

    • Samtha says:

      Ordinarily I’d agree on the sexism thing, but I’m not so sure here. Tom Selleck has forty or so years of building fans and public good will (and yes he actually has a strong fanbase of people a certain age), while Ariana is newly famous. She’s also displayed plenty of bratty antics along the way, when Selleck hasn’t. In addition, we can all see exactly what Ariana did and how she behaved (and can imagine eating spit-laden food), which creates a more visceral reaction in people.

  77. AnotherDirtyMartini says:

    She’s a twit and a twat. I hope her fade into obscurity starts immediately.

  78. Sunshine Gold says:

    Another non-event involving an irrelevant celebrity for everyone to get worked up about.

  79. Davidh says:

    Ariana if you hate America move some place else and give up your citizenship it’s that easy, but don’t you forget that you’re famous thanks to the American people. So at least have some respect and if you hate them so much stop taking their money.
