I don't think the America comments are harmless. Sure, she probably didn't have the context behind them that a lot of people are insisting she did; however, she's a major public figure, a role model, a professional... why is THAT her immediate reaction to an incident. Even taking away her fame, what kind of person has that as their immediate reaction? It's odd.

I personally am glad that she's being exposed for who she really is. It's clear that the past "diva" behavior is true.

I love her music but dislike her so I'm quite happy she's exposed as what she really is..

Being "offended by this is so dense, but I don't think the other extreme (blowing it off as "not a big deal"), is a great look, either.
Celebrities can act however they choose in private, but when you are in a PUBLIC place and you choose to spit/lick merchandise that is sold to the public and act like a spoiled bitch on top of it, it becomes a problem.
It doesn't just affect her, but the business itself and the people they serve.
Let's say some employees were sensationalizing what she actually said (which some people have implied). Even if these employees fabricated or blew what she actually said out of proportion, it still doesn't change the fact that what she was caught on camera doing is gross and nasty.
With the countless rumors of Ariana's nasty attitude, I don't see why it's that big of a stretch to believe she may have been rude to these employees.
Hell, even the audio the video did capture made her seem like a nasty b*itch with a stick up her ass.
The "I hate America" bit may have been said in jest, but the way she said it was just odd. Why would someone bringing you a tray of doughnuts prompt a response like that?

One thing's for sure, Ariana (& probs stanky Frankie) are loving this attention shed on them! Anyway, it's true that the reaction at this point is overdramatic and it's quite sad if anyone feels personally offended by this stunt. I don't think it's big enough of a deal to warrant more than a few seconds of thought, but few seconds pretty much confirm that Ariana's not exactly the most considerate celeb there is. To be a multi-millionaire and destroy a small businesses' merchandise and spit on food intended for mere plebs is just vile. So she showed her ass but if she releases a hot single next month is it going to stop you from listening to it? OF COURSE NOT! The "I hate America" bit may have been said in jest, but the way she said it was just odd. Why would someone bringing you a tray of doughnuts prompt a response like that? That statement may or may not have been prompted by the donuts but it's for damn sure it was tongue-in-cheek either way, so at the very least it's time to drop the analysis of it.

Police are now investigating the donut licking incident. To clarify, she's not being investigated. The donut shop is. "Health officials are looking into why the donuts were left exposed and whether the shop has a history of leaving food out. California health laws require restaurants to keep food protected from the public." ( via) It's also being reported that her alleged boyfriend did actually pay for the donuts. But yes, let's continue to make shit up under the guise of an "exposé".

As much as you'd like it to go away, it's not. More media is reporting on it than ever before now that the police are involved. Yay!

On another note, why is everyone so concerned about whether or not Ariana is exposed as a bitch? What does that matter to you? As much as you'd like it to go away, it's not. More media is reporting on it than ever before now that the police are involved. Yay! Kurt

This is one of the dumbest "controversies" I think I've ever seen. I'm not really a fan of Ariana (and am hoping Tori Kelly takes her spot as the big-voiced young diva dujour), but this is just silly.
She's a brat for sure, but this making headlines just means that it is a SLOW news day.

Well since cyber-hackers aren't taking over United or the NYSE, Ariana Grande must be the next biggest news story to talk about

most parties I go to involve some exchange of salvia so that's kind of the same thing I guess. What kind of Miley Cyrus ratchetness?! Anyway, don't worry (not that you really are) but there will be an even sillier controversy for people to freak out about soon enough.

I think the "apology" really prolonged this more than it had to be. To me, it seems like she was advised to focus on the America comment, as a PR spin, to detract the public from fixating on what the real issue was - spitting on/licking the donuts....and it backfired. What she should have done was issued an apology to the donut shop's owner and employees from the start, and secluded herself for a few weeks to let it blow over.
I do think people are being overly dramatic, but the public does love a good fall from grace, and this gives people who have always hated her more ammunition. I guess I can't say that I'm surprised.

Why are people acting like she was going full face-in-the-place on these baked goods? It literally looks like the tip of her tongue brushed the furthest edge of 2 random doughnuts. You'd think she was tonguing down a baker's dozen the way this story is being presented. It's definitely gross and immature and lowkey crazy but...does anyone really care? Is the tip of some Mariah impersonator's tongue brushing a doughnut THAT troubling for all of you? She spit on it.

I apologize for my vulgarity last night. I was drunk. Some might say I pulled an Ariana.

I thought I recalled liking you in the past so was a little surprised by your attempt at dragging me to hell but...all is forgiven. As a token of my forgiveness, please accept one of the donuts from the shop that Ariana graciously visited!

Now, Susan Sarandon has come to her defense, while Andy Milonakis goes in on her:
I swear, this scandal is so random and bizarre to me. Who would have thought that, after an amazing year, she would be under fire for licking some donuts? LMAO. This is like that little exchange she had with Bette Midler last year. It's like people are always waiting for an opportunity to tear her a new one. I'm just confused as to where all of this animosity comes from because she like....barely even talks.

In what world is Andy Milonakis relevant enough to go in on somebody I'm screaming at the Ariana fandom going IN on him.

Susan should have specified that people should lick a donut they've actually purchased.

Believe it or not people can think this is a bad disgusting thing to do and illegal in many cases and still have concern for even bigger issues! It is called multitasking Susan, google it!
