Ariana Grande says her words were taken out of context, doesn't 'hate America'

[QueenFrostine]

Pop star Ariana Grande said her words were taken out of context when she was caught on camera saying she "hates America."

 

A video of Grande slamming the U.S. was posted by TMZ on Tuesday. The video shows the singer licking a doughnut at a California doughnut shop when she thought no one was looking. When an employee brought out a tray of oversized doughnuts, the Florida-born singer blurted out, "What the f--k is that? I hate Americans. I hate America." The employee told CBS Los Angeles that Grande was "rude" and even "spit" on the doughnuts. 

 

Now she says that was a mistake.

 

"I am EXTREMELY proud to be an American and I've always made it clear that I love my county (sic)," Grande told FOX411 in a 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."

 

The 22-year-old explained she was frustrated by "how freely we as Americans eat and consume things without giving any thought to the consequences that it has on our health." She admitted that she should have "known better in how [she] expressed [herself]," but seeing the doughnuts reminded her that the "United States has the highest child obesity rate in the world."

 

"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," she added.

 

Grande also addressed rumors that she pulled out of the MLB All-Star Concert because of the video after her representative said Wednesday the singer would not perform Saturday at the Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati.

 

"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."

[LeeTaeyong]

[ToujoursSistar]

Dafuq is this lame excuse lmao ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

And how does she explain spitting and licking donuts ?

[abra]

Why would she spit at the donuts?

[Mariabell]

I believe her tbh and she does make sense.

 

But the tongue-kissing thing she did with her bf in public.... uhhh...

[MiaSanMia]

please reflect. 

[CareBear08]

I saw what she said and how she said it. It wasn't meant how people are taking it.

 

Besides, I see people saying this all the time that are Americans. The only difference between her and them is that she's a celeb.

[kpopluveer]

Does she have an excuse for violating those donuts with her tongue, then snickering to her friend about it? 

 

[pimo]

 "but seeing the doughnuts reminded her that the "United States has the highest child obesity rate in the world."

And what was licking the donuts supposed to represent?

[jongupaf]

success/money make people always so cocky af 

[Sun☼Shine]

Just because it was a private moment doesn't mean it was out of context.

If she said 'I hate that this makes Americans fat' then yeah it would've been taken out of context.

 

But anyway, if you hate donuts so much why are you in the shop licking them?!

Not only is that rude, but it's disgusting and unsanitary.

[YGMatt]

Lol.. BYE at her trying to justify everything by bringing up America's obesity rate.

[cnude]

[dishdash]

[Mischo]

lol she sounds more sorry that she got caught rather than her behavior

[STORM]

What is wrong with some people? Is that how you talk to people? 

[Sorbet]

Good thing it's not Korea and her career is not over.
