An anonymous parent claims Grimes excessively used profanity during the ceremony and was handing out inappropriate awards.
Grimes also reportedly told a distasteful joke which contained a punchline insinuating a priest would be eager to have sexual intercourse with children. After hearing the joke, the parent and her 17-year-old daughter got up and left the auditorium.
Bellingham High School’s principal held a meeting with drama students and Grimes following the ceremony. A spokesperson says everybody involved expressed sincere apologies and regret.
Neither Grimes nor the students face any discipline at this time, though the incidents are still under investigation.

She also claimed there was vulgar language used throughout.
"WE need to get the word out there that THIS is the kind of TRASH that is being taught in our schools. I am so shocked right now I am in tears," the upset parent said in her email.
