AceShowbiz - Ariana Grande shared on YouTube on late Thursday, July 9 a video apology regarding her donut-licking controversy. In the approximately four-minute clip, the "Problem" hitmaker admitted that she "missed the opportunity to sincerely apologize" the last time she issued an apology because she "was too busy preaching about [her] issues with the food industry."
Ariana began, "I wanted to make a video to apologize again for the whole donut fiasco. I feel like the apology I posted, I kind of missed the opportunity to sincerely apologize and express how I was feeling because I was too busy preaching about my issues with the food industry which is like, not relative. I feel I could have expressed myself in a different way."
"I was trying to get you to understand where I was coming from when I said what I said," she continued, "But that's not important. I'd rather just apologize and I feel like now's my chance before the whole thing blows over to say my sorry."
Focusing on her "I hate America" remarks, Ariana explained that she'd actually never been prouder to be an American. She shared, "Seeing a video of yourself behaving poorly that you had no idea was taken is such a rude awakening. It's like you don't know what to do; I was so disgusted with myself, I wanted to shove my face in a pillow and just disappear. But instead of that I'm going to come forward and own up to what I did and take responsibility and say I'm sorry."
"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," the "Love Me Harder" songstress continued, "Seeing how ugly it looks when you behave a certain way makes you want to never behave that way again. You learn from it....I never want to be anything less than a positive influence."
"I'm 22, I'm human, I still got a lot to learn, I make mistakes and that's how I'm gonna learn. I'm going to learn from my mistakes...It's all a process and I want to be a good as I possibly can be for my babes....I'm very sorry and I love you," she concluded.
