It seems like no one wants to stop talking about Ariana Grande’s #DonutGate. While most of us were absolutely disgusted by Grande and her fling of the moment licking unpurchased desserts (and claiming she hates America), her young, impressionable fans are actually sticking up for her! In a strange display of solidarity, they’re taking selfies where they appear to lick the donut emoji. The photos are compiled on an Instagram page titled “lick_donuts_with_ari” which reads “Ariana Grande loves 🇺🇸 She doesn’t hate 🇺🇸 If she licks we ALL LICK 🍩🍩 with her. 🌙💜 Join the Donut Squad: DM a donut selfie #lickdonutswithari” in the description.
The donut-licking seems to mostly be a ploy to get Ariana Grande to notice them, but jeez. These kids’ parents need sit them down and let them know that not everything celebs do is something they need to emulate.
