Her admission did little to quell the outrage. Many saw her behavior as profoundly disrespectful, particularly given the solemnity of the occasion.
“That is unbelievably disrespectful to be so drunk and incapacitated that you can’t honor our country,” one critic said.
The good news is, Fergie of Black Eyed Peas is finally free.
