Ariana Grande Donutgate: Fan Fury Escalates Over Singer’s ‘Disrepectful’ Behavior

(Okay, people on Twitter are probably sitting down, but you get the point.) For those just tuning in now, on July 4, Ariana and her backup dancer, Ricky Alvarez, were caught on a security camera licking a bunch of donuts before putting them back on the tray while the owner steps away. In the video, Ariana comments, “What the f–k is that? I hate Americans. I hate America,” while looking at the donuts. Fans immediately interpreted the comments as fat-shaming, and an outburst ensued.

HollywoodLife obtained an exclusive interview with Wolfee Donuts owner Joe Marin. He demanded that Ariana apologize for her deed: “I want an apology,” Joe told us. “We are reaching out to the customers but it wasn’t until the next morning when I watched the tape that I caught them licking and spitting, I call it spitting on the doughnuts.” Ariana then apologized for her comments. She explained in a statement that her words were “taken out of context” and how sometimes she gets “upset by how freely we as Americans eat and consume things without giving any thought to the consequences.” Meanwhile, Parks and Recreation star Rob Lowe didn’t buy it, and he tweeted:

Cannot wait for the new Arianna Grande/Dixie Chicks jam to drop! #IActuallyLoveAmerica
