On Wednesday, pint-sized pop star and ponytail enthusiast Ariana Grande apologized for getting caught on camera saying that "I hate Americans" and "I hate America," after she made the bizarre choice to lick donuts that she hadn't purchased.
Grande claimed her comments were taken out of context and she was "upset by how freely we as Americans eat and consume things without giving any thought to the consequences that it has on our health and society as a whole." She then tried to make her case by citing child obesity rates, but at least one person out there isn't buying it, and that guy is Robe Lowe. He's calling her apology "#Lame."
Lowe definitely has a point, especially since Grande's apology didn't explain WTF she was doing licking donuts in the first place, which, let's be honest, is the real issue (or it should be). Her remarks weren't taken out of context and are pretty common comments people make when they are disgusted by the amount of casual gluttony that is so pervasive in this country. It's just something someone in Grande's position can't afford to get caught saying, especially after pulling such a weird stunt like licking donuts she didn't buy. (Okay, Lowe actually seems hung up on the America comment, he also tweeted, " Cannot wait for the new Arianna Grande/Dixie Chicks jam to drop! #IActuallyLoveAmerica" but he's missing the big picture).
The 22-year-old's donut drama isn't over yet, as The Associated Press reported that police in Lake Elsinore, Calif., where Wolfee Donuts is located, are investigating the video with Riverside County public health officials. Additionally, a cashier at the shop told the AP, that Grande didn't buy any of the donuts she licked and added that "she was really rude."
