Ariana Grande Releases Video Apology for Donut Controversy

Ariana Grande has released another apology, this time in video form, for the controversy surrounding the video of her in a California donut shop.

The 22-year-old singer spoke honestly to her fans for four minutes, though she seems to have avoided the topic of licking the donuts on display.

“I’m making this video from wisdom tooth recovery hell. I just want to make a video to apologize again for the whole doughnut fiasco and craziness because I feel like the apology I posted, I kind of missed my opportunity to actually sincerely apologize and express how I was feeling because I was too busy preaching about my feelings with the food industry, which is not relative,” Ariana said to begin the video. “I feel I could have expressed myself in a different way.”

“Seeing a video of yourself behaving poorly that you had no idea was taken is such a rude awakening. I was so disgusted with myself. I shoved my face in a pillow and wanted to disappear, but instead of that I’m going to come forward, own up to what I did, take responsibility, and say I’m sorry,” Ariana continued. “I reacted in a way that wasn’t necessary to say the least and also wasn’t me at all. I apologize for my poor choice of words and my behavior. Seeing how ugly it looks when you behave a certain way makes you never want to behave that way again.”

The video of Ariana licking the donuts is currently being investigated by police and it has been reported that the shop’s health rating was downgraded to a B after the incident.
