Ingrid Andress says she was drunk and went to rehab after the national anthem at the MLB Home Run Derby

Singer Ingrid Andress sang the anthem before the MLB Home Run Derby on Monday in a performance that drew strong reactions on social media. After being criticized online, the Grammy-nominated artist admitted in a social media statement on Tuesday that she was drunk during the performance and is checking into rehab to get the help she needs.

Andress, a 32-year-old country singer whose singles “Wishful Drinking” and “More Hearts Than Mine” hit the Billboard 100, was compared to Fergie after the song, which some called a botched anthem.

In 2018, the former Black Eyed Peas singer’s rendition of the anthem before the NBA All-Star Game went viral for its unique flair. Even players watching from the sidelines couldn’t keep a straight face as Fergie belted out a jazzier version of the iconic song.

Videos from the Home Run Derby, an event in which MLB players compete to see who can hit the most home runs, show Phillies player Alec Bohm wearing a smirk as Andress sang an anthem that many described as off-key.

And while many other viewers at home didn’t hold back with their criticism and made fun of Andress online, the singer revealed the deeper reason why her performance didn’t go as planned.

“I’m not kidding you, I was drunk last night,” she wrote on social media. “I’m checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need.”

“That wasn’t me last night,” she said. “I apologize to MLB, all the fans and this country that I love so much for that performance. I’ll tell you all what rehab is like. I hear it’s a lot of fun.”

Before the derby on Monday, she announced that her single “Colorado 9” would be released on July 24. On Instagram, she has relatively few posts, all of which revolve around her music, and comments are disabled.

Before releasing her statement about the anthem, Andress received support from country music duo Brothers Osborne, who wrote on social media: “I know everyone is here to laugh, but as someone who has seen her sing live many times, I know she is incredibly talented. I’m not sure what happened here, but I would bet there were major technical issues with her monitors.”

Andress and Fergie aren’t the only ones to receive negative attention for their anthem performances. In 1990, Roseanne Barr’s performance at a San Diego Padres game was criticized by many, but the actress defended her performance. “Oh my goodness, leave me alone. I was just trying to sing a song,” she told CBS Los Angeles at the time, according to the Roanoke Times. “I apologize for people being so horrified.”
