Ariana Grande: Singer Apologizes After Video Shows Her Licking Doughnut and Saying 'I Hate America'

Ariana Grande has issued a statement explaining and apologizing for a bizarre video that surfaced earlier this week in which she declared "I hate America" at a donut shop.

In the statement issued on Wednesday (July 8), Grande clarified that she is "EXTREMELY proud to be an American," and that her frustration with the country was aimed at its high child obesity rate -- which led to her cursing the unhealthy donuts.
