Ariana Grande Says I Hate America Then Something AMAZING Happens Pop star Ariana Grande is facing serious backlash after a video of her announcing that she hates America went viral thanks to TMZ. The video shows Grande licking an entire tray of donuts in a donut shop while the employees arent looking. When more donuts are brought out, Grande clearly says, I hate Americans. I hate America. The donut shop released their security footage to TMZ, and the video quickly went viral. As a result, she lost her appearance at the Major League Baseball July 11 concert in Cincinnati. She will now be replaced by rival Demi Lovato. What I said in a private moment was taken out of context and I am sorry for not using more discretion with my choice of words, Grande said in a statement. She went on to claim that her comments were actually about how freely we as Americans eat and consume things without giving any thought to the consequences. What do you think of Grandes comments?
