Too Hot for TV? Ciara Faces Criticism Over ‘Inappropriate’ Outfit During the National Anthem [Photo]

Ciara sang the National Anthem last night during the national Championship game between University of Alabama vs. Clemson.

Dear Ciara. You're stunning. But this is a National Championship Game. Kids are watching. Cover up.

It all started when former ESPN reporter Bonnie Bernstein tweeted about Ciara’s low plunging dress — saying, “Dear Ciara. You’re stunning. But this is a National Championship Game. Kids are watching. Cover up.”

Then, another former ESPN personality chimed in.

Some people accused Bonnie of criticizing Ciara because she’s black , but Bernstein responded saying that’s not the case.

 

Truly am amazed at how people take a tweet (that includes a compliment!) & wanna make it about race. Seriously. Grow up. Watch the game.

As for Ciara’s response, she seems rather unbothered.
