Country star Ingrid Andress has made a startling revelation on her social accounts, admitting that she was intoxicated while singing the National Anthem before baseball’s annual Home Run Derby on Monday night, and saying she is planning to check into a rehab facility in the wake of the tumult over her disastrous performance.
“I’m not gonna bullshit y’all, I was drunk last night,” she wrote on Facebook, Instagram and X (formerly Twitter). “I’m checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need. That was not me last night. I apologize to MLB, all the fans, and this country I love so much for that rendition. I’ll let y’all know how rehab is. I hear it’s super fun.” She signed the missive “xo, Ingrid.”

Did you ever hear the Roseanne Barr rendition?
Most viral comment I've ever seen repeated in such a short 24 hour span.
Worse than Roseanne Barr?
When George Jones asked the musical question, “Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes?”, well, there’s your answer.
So, there was nobody there to pull her aside and ask WTH was wrong with her before she went on?
She went off script. Now her handlers need damage control for the damage control.
Drunk? Or is that her excuse for being unable to sing the song?
Better get her ears checked too.
“That was not me last night.”
Yes, hon - yes it was. I’m so sick of this excuse.
You and me both. The PR industry needs to come up with a better excuse. This and “I was hacked” are as phony as they come. I’m starting to get there with “I need to do better” but at least there’s a hint of accountability with this one.
She sounded like she was murdering a cat.
It’s the beach house in Malibu thing while the PR team controls the narrative, and schedules the softball interviews for later to... “explain her side...”
Yes, so ladylike. ~~sigh~~
How very Hol!wood of het.
Her being drunk lines up with what I heard. I heard someone who sounded like she had a decent voice and who perhaps started the song without something to get her in key. But being drunk can actually result, especially if she’s a chronic drunk, in the vocal cords being suffused with blood which can radically change the feel of where your notes are.
Let me translate- I’ll be partying at a celeb facility and won’t be bothered by uncomfortable interview requests for 4 weeks.
[She sounded like she was murdering a cat.]
I thought bathing a cat.
Maybe a breathalyzer test for performers at these types of events is in order?
Exactly.
