Laura Ingraham to Ariana Grande: ‘People That Like to Buy Donuts Also Buy a Lot of Your Stupid Music’ [Watch]
Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham told "Fox & Friends" on Thursday morning that pop singer Ariana Grande should review a Venn diagram of who bought donuts before slinging insults, because they are the same people who buy her albums.
In a video posted Tuesday by TMZ, the "Bang Bang" singer is shown inside a donut shop with her new boyfriend where she says, "What ... is that? I hate Americans. I hate America" when a tray of doughnuts is set in front of her.
Grande's comments apparently upset Ingraham who shared her thoughts on the matter with Fox News network's "Fox & Friends."
"Another spoiled, entitled pop princess who's benefited so lucratively from being in this country, being American," Ingraham said to the "Fox & Friends" hosts on Thursday. "Yet when she doesn't think anyone is listening, she hates America. They're all fat, stupid, don't eat organic, they eat stuff like ramen noodles and mac n' cheese."
Ingraham suggested that Grande re-read the lyrics to the song "Problem," her 2014 hit song recorded with Iggy Azalea, and make that her "new theme." "Because last time I checked, those poor people that like to buy donuts also buy a lot of your stupid music," she said, before adding, "Maybe you should return the money to people who like jelly donuts who also like Ariana Grande Estupido -- Estupida!"
Since Tuesday, Grande has apologized for calling out all Americans and said that she did so to make a point about obesity, reports TMZ.
The massive donuts that had been placed in front of her made Grande upset with "how freely we as Americans eat and consume things without giving any thought to the consequences," she told TMZ.
On Wednesday, Grande said in a statement to the Associated Press that she's a proud American.
"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 doughnuts, was taken out of context and I am sorry for not using more discretion with my choice of words," the statement read.
