This Ariana?
On July 4th, Ariana Grande and her then-boyfriend went to Wolfee Donuts in Lake Elsinore, California.
Security footage (released by TMZ) shows her:
• Repeatedly licking donuts that were on open display (not ones she had bought).
• Spitting on trays of donuts and other items.
• When the employee brought out fresh donuts, she was caught on a hot mic saying: “I hate Americans. I hate America.”
The shop had to throw out all the contaminated food. The owner was furious, called it disgusting, and publicly demanded an apology and wanted her charged.
Ariana later apologized in a video, saying she was “disgusted with herself,” blamed being tired and hungry, and claimed the “I hate America” comment was about unhealthy American food culture, not the country itself.
This was a huge backlash moment — people saw it as extremely entitled and gross behaviour from a major celebrity. The donut shop actually got a big boost in business from all the attention, but it became a permanent stain on her public image.
