10 Biggest TV Scandals Of 2015

9. Ariana Grande In "Donutgate"

She became one of America's sweethearts on the Nickelodeon shows Victorious in 2009 and spin-off Sam and Cat in 2013. Grande then went on to an illustrious pop music career. Her squeaky clean image hit the skids in July of this year, when the songstress and friends frequented a joint called Wolfee Donuts in Lake Elsinore, California. While waiting for service, Grande took it upon herself to start licking some of the displayed doughnuts. Not realizing she may be on camera, Ariana licked more than one pastry before an employee enters the scene with a fresh tray of doughnuts. Grande, who is in a doughnut shop, on purpose, looks at the tray of doughnuts and inquires, "What the f*ck is that?" Then, in a lovely moment of non-sequiter, adds "I hate Americans" followed by "I hate America". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oja97POVbM8 To be fair, she may have thought that Wolfee Donuts was akin to a Trader Joes or Whole Foods. This would explain her confusion around the doughnuts. To morph this into an anti-patriotic rant though? She claims it was some form of criticism of the obesity epidemic in America...says the girl...in the doughnut shop.
