A video at a California doughnut shop showed Grande and one of her back-up dancers playfully licking the sugary pastries while they were still on the counter.

Video of the incident, which was obtained by TMZ, also recorded Grande seeming to say “What…is that?”
In her statement issued yesterday via Twitter, the 22-year-old explained that she is: “EXTREMELY proud to be an American” – so we’re a tad confused as to why the singer lashed out at the good ol’ U.S, and her explanation feels rather weak if we’re honest.
The Los Angeles Times said that the shop owner filed a report and showed the video of the star and her friend, but was told by Sheriff’s Deputy Michael Vasquez that they don’t believe a crime was committed and won’t be investigating the star.
Ariana Grande’s donut-licking incident just keeps getting bigger – now the Wolfee Donut shop’s security camera footage is being investigated by the police and the Environmental Health department. “I hate America. That’s disgusting”. The fact that the United States has the highest child obesity rate in the world frustrates me.
Since the footage went public, the popstar tweeted a weird statement about how she was mad at the food industry.
The “Break Free” hit maker received negative criticism for her allegedly “fat-shaming” comment soon after the release of the video. It was long rumored that the singer left mid-shoot when a photographer insisted taking photos on the right side of her face. At this point, the list of every 20-something dude who has Googled “how old is Ariana Grande?” is longer than Ariana Grande’s ponytail.
A rep for Demi Lovato confirmed that she would perform Saturday instead.
However I should of known better in how I expressed myself; and with my new responsibility to others as a public figure I will strive to be better. The 22-year-old, who has always publicly expressed her love and admiration for her gay half-brother Frankie Grande, also headlined New York’s Gay Pride Weekend-in black latex. While all of the duo’s friends were in attendance, including Kanye West, Justin Bieber, and Jay Z, Grande was a no-show for the event so she could prep for her Grammy Awards performance the next day.

We all know that celebrities and singer can be prone to some erratic behaviour but Ariana Grande‘s recent efforts would make Homer Simpson proud.
