Pop star Ariana Grande issued a statement of apology Wednesday after she was caught on video saying she “hates Americans” and “hates America” while licking donuts she hadn’t purchased.

In a video first obtained by TMZ, Grande is seen in a donut shop with her boyfriend on July 4. Grande and her boyfriend appear to lick donuts that had been placed on the counter, that were then ostensibly purchased by other customers.

“What the f*ck is that?” Grande says loudly to her boyfriend as a fresh tray of donuts is placed on the counter. “I hate Americans. I hate America.”

In a statement, Grande said her words were “taken out of context” and apologized for “not using more discretion with my choice of words.”
