Pop star dan sensasi rasa-rasanya sudah merupakan satu kesatuan yang utuh. Tampaknya Ariana Grande juga tak luput dari sensasi. Belakang ini sedang heboh video yang memperlihatkan dirinya berada di sebuah gerai toko roti dan berciuman dengan salah satu penarinya. Yang menjadi masalah adalah ia tertangkap kamera menjilati donat yang ada di konter toko, tapi sama sekali tidak membayar donat yang "ternoda" tersebut dan terdengar berkata, "I hate America!"
Jelas video ini memunculkan polemik yang riuh dan memberi Grande sebuah preseden yang buruk. Oleh karenanya ia segera merilis sebuah pernyataan yang menyatakan permintaan maafnya serta mengabarkan tidak akan tampil di acara konser MLB All-Star akhir pekan ini. Posisinya akan digantikan oleh Demi Lovato.
Berikut pernyataan Grande:
I am EXTREMELY proud to be an American and I’ve always made it clear that I love my country. What I said in a private moment with my friend, who was buying the donuts, was taken out of context and I am sorry for not using more discretion with my choice of words. As an advocate for healthy eating, food is very important to me and I sometimes get 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. The fact that the United States has one of the highest child obesity rates in the world frustrates me. We need to do more to educate ourselves and our children about the dangers of overeating and the poison that we put into our bodies. We need to demand more from our food industry. However I should have known better in how I expressed myself; and with my new responsibility to others as a public figure I will strive to be better. As for why I cannot be at the MLB show, I have had emergency oral surgery and due to recovery I cannot attend the show. I hope to make it up to all those fans soon. That being said let me once again apologize if I have offended anyone with my poor choice of words.- Ariana Grande
Sayangnya tidak ada komentar dari Grande soal insiden jilat-menjilat donat. Mungkin ia menganggap itu hal yang lumrah saja.
