Ariana Grande

I will chip in for a box of Krispy Kremes should anyone feel like hurling them in her direction. I can't throw.

I'll buy a dozen if I can spit on them all before chucking them at her...

Notice I'm saying I will buy them first before spitting on them. Something she maybe should have considered.

You know what stands out for me in those videos? Not once did she deny she licked, spit, or touched any donuts which means she knows she did. Because if that were me and I knew I didn't do it I'd be blowing up the internet proclaiming my innocence! Instead she keeps harping on Loving America as a smokescreen.

I'm sure she'll think of all that later and say she was told not to say anything. But its too late now. Really bad PR.

[Ladybug]

Isn't she on video licking and spitting on the donuts? Can't really deny it then.

Never throw away Krispy Kremes! She's not worth wasting good donuts on!

I'm wearing out this Maya Angelou quote: "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."

[Hamatron]

Yeah. There's no discrepancy in the video. She is spitting beads and licking doughnuts like a 6-year-old on a playground would do.

[Coffeecakes]

Not Krispy Kremes. Get the cheapest jelly and powdered donuts to leave her ass messy as hell.

Her team handled this all wrong. A couple of tweets the day it came out, just saying, "I'm sorry. I was trying to be funny with my friends and realize I was just being an asshole" would've pretty much killed this. Instead she keeps releasing fake-y essays that only feed the story more and emphasize the fact that her sugary-sweet public image looks to be a 180 from her real personality.

We should only throw the cheapest of sugary snacks, like generic mini donuts and hostess fruit pies.

Exactly. And that would be an honest answer. She thought she was being funny and cute, but she was just showing her ass. She should 'fess up to that. She should apologize to the bakery employee in person. Those two actions would probably smooth things over.

But instead it's all "But I'm so concerned about the obesity epidemic!" and "I'm only 22 and still learning!" (still learning how not to lick other people's food, I guess). Everyone knows it is bullshit and it is only making things worse.

Speaking of fake-y essays, last month she posted this last month and received a lot of positive feedback for it. I love that making a feminist statement has become a good PR move. It's a sign of progress. However, after watching that video apology I don't for a second believe Ariana wrote it. I think she was ranting about her BF and a savvy person in the room decided to take some of her comments and use them as a framework for a feminist essay. If the plan is to make Ariana an activist for things like feminism and healthy living, I wish the people around her would teach her how to better articulate and become more intelligent IRL instead of signing her name to statements that aren't written by her.
