Doughnuts are irresistible, even to petite pop star Ariana Grande.
TMZ has found security camera footage of the petite pop star at a doughnut shop, where she had accompanied her friends to buy some sweet desserts. In the video, Ariana Grande can be seen leaning in to quickly sample one of the doughnuts before daring her friend to do the same.
When her male friend licks one of the doughnuts, the group exploded in laughter.
But Grande was not satisfied with just one batch of doughnuts. She moved to a different tray to lick another doughnut.
The singer's antics didn't end when the shopkeeper returned. When she was presented with a fresh batch of doughnuts, the pop star exclaimed, "What the f-k is that?"
She then added, "I hate Americans. I hate America."
The singer can also be seen kissing her male companion, who TMZ speculated is her new boyfriend.
The world was stunned by Ariana's actions, but not because of the PDA. Netizens were enraged that the pop star does not know what a doughnut is, and more importantly, that she hated Americans.
Ariana Grande has quickly issued a statement apologizing for her actions.
"I am EXTREMELY proud to be an American and I've always made it clear that I love my county [sic]," Grande said in the statement. "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."
She explained how she felt about the doughnuts.
"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."
Grande also addressed that she could not perform at the Major League Baseball show because of an emergency oral surgery.
