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.”

That was self-evident. She was clearly slurring her words. I went from shock, to anger, then to feeling sorry for her by the end of this disaster. Hope she gets the help she needs.

[T.B. Yoits]

She has a song “Wishful Drinking”.

First POTUS Trump’s ear, now ours.

..Is Checking Into Rehab

This is the code words for i won't accept responsibility.

[Bethaneidh]

She ought to return any payment she got.

[cuban leaf]

I had to go to youtube to watch. Yeah. The worst I’ve ever heard. And that includes high school games.

[OrioleFan]

Maybe rehab includes singing lessons.

I am reminded of Ray Wiley Hubbard singing Redneck Mother where the audience joined in. After the song, Ray said (paraphrasing), “There’s a tip jar down front, but I suggest you save your tips and invest in singing lessons.” A huge laugh by the audience followed.

According to an online picture the poor woman can’t afford buttons for her clothes, we must start a GoFundMe

She gave Roseanne Barr a run for her money in crashing the anthem

Probably the first time in a decade or more that I wasn’t watching the Derby, had the convention on instead. Glad I did.

I will most likely skip the All-Star Game as well; priorities.

The handlers must have known she was drunk before handing her the microphone. I hope they weren’t DEI hires.

”I’ll let y’all know how rehab is. I hear it’s super fun.”

[Indy Pendance]

She made a fool of herself and her career is on the line. That’s enough of a wake up call to send her to rehab. I hope she is successful. It takes a lot to admit when you mess up.

[Red Badger]

Well, the Star-Spangled Banner tune is from an old English drinking song, “To Anacreon in Heaven”...................

White girl so drunk she can’t sing? Didn’t know there was a level like that.

[Psalm 73]

"I’m not gonna bullshit y’all, I was drunk last night,"

Might be Ok if you're, like 18, but not a lick of class for an adult.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

This is the part that seems to indicate there is no remorse.

I’ll let y’all know how rehab is. I hear it’s super fun.”

[dadfly]

who?

next time why not just play Roy Acuff.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Fellow singers left messages of sympathy as comments on her social accounts. “Love you girl,” wrote Julia Michaels. “I’m sorry you’re going through this. And I’m sorry the world can be so cruel. Here for you xx.”

If you want an example of how brainless and vapid Twitter and other social media can be, read this sympathy message. How is the world being cruel the reason for Andress being loaded during the performance???
