Ingrid Andress makes bizarre comment about rehab while speaking out on her national anthem disaster at MLB Home Run Derby
Country singer Ingrid Andress made a bizarre comment about rehab being 'super fun' after speaking out on her national-anthem disaster at the MLB Home Run Derby.
Andress went viral for the wrong reasons on Monday night after producing an off-key rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, which was quickly branded 'the worst national anthem ever' by fans on social media.
The 32-year-old later broke her silence amid the backlash over her performance, revealing Tuesday that she was intoxicated when singing in Texas and now plans to check herself into a rehab facility as a result.
However, at the end of her statement about seeking help, Andress appeared to drop in a joke about rehab.
'I'll let y'all know how rehab is. I hear it's super fun,' she concluded in the post.

While the remark was likely just a sarcastic joke, a number of users took to social media to urge Andress not to make light of her situation while highlighting the seriousness of rehab.
'Glad you are owning up to your problem and getting help. But rehab isn’t “super fun",' one wrote on X. 'I’ve been to rehab. It isn’t fun: you have learn new emotions and how to handle it in real life'.
Another put: 'In all fairness, saying “I hear rehab is super fun” downplays people who take it very seriously when they have a problem with alcohol.'
While a third said: 'Rehab is not “super fun”. Those who need it (for real, not to save their celebrity) usually go through a medically induced detox followed by several weeks of VERY tough self reflection and introspection. If you really have a problem, God Bless You and hope you get better soon.'
In the rest of her statement, Andress wrote: 'I'm not gonna bulls**t y'all, I was drunk last night.
'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.'
Andress joked that she's heard rehab is a fun experience after claiming she was 'drunk' when performing the off-key national anthem and that she now plans to check into a facility

Carly Pearce also chimed in: 'I’m sending you love, Ingrid. Being this open takes a lot. You’ve got this. Hang in there.'
Andress - a four-time Grammy nominated artist - drew comparisons with Fergie after going viral for all the wrong reasons; as some claimed her performance was far worse than the former lead singer of the Black-Eyed Peas, who also drew criticism over her rendition at the 2020 NBA All-Star Game.
'Ingrid Andress giving Fergie a run for worst national anthem ever performed,' one person wrote on X in the wake of the performance.
'My ears are bleeding. One of the worst national anthem renditions ever,' another person shared.
