“As an advocate for healthy eating, food is very important to me and I sometimes get upset by how freely we as Americans eat and consume things without giving any thought to the consequences that it has on our health and society as a whole,” she said. “That being said let me once again apologize if I have offended anyone with my poor choice of words.”

“My behavior was very offensive and I apologized, there is no excuse or there is nothing to justify it.” She said. “But I think as human beings we all say and do things that we don’t mean all sometimes and we have to learn from it, that part of our process, we have to learn from our mistakes that’s how we grow.”
Ariana said what she learned from the incident was “what it feels like to disappoint people who love and believe in you and not in excruciating feeling and you have to remember your words, your actions have ramifications and you have to think about what you about to say and do”.
