Ariana Grande faced backlash in July after a video was released showing her licking donuts and saying she ‘hates’ America.

Yet, she sat down for a new interview with Good Morning America on Tuesday morning, letting her fans know that she has since turned over a new leaf following the ‘donutgate’ scandal.

The 22-year-old pop star, who was dressed in a 𝑠e𝑥y multicolored mini-dress, told the morning show: ‘There’s no excuse or nothing to justify it. But, you know as human beings, we all say and do things we don’t mean at all sometimes and we have to learn from it.’

While sitting down with co-host Amy Robach, she readdressed the controversial incident that occurred at Wolfee Donuts located in Riverside County, California.

Surveillance footage showed the petite beauty licking danishes from off the counter beside her backup dancer Ricky Alvarez, while saying: ‘I hate Americans. I hate America.’

That day, she and her then-love interest upset staff with their behavior and even led the shop to face health inspection issues due to the leaked security footage.

She admitted the profound effect the video’s release had on her, adding: ‘You have to remember that your words and actions have ramifications.’
