Sadie Robertson Sparks Controversy With 4th of July Picture

Like a lot of Americans, Sadie Robertson dressed up in red, white, and blue on the 4th of July and celebrated her country’s independence with her family. 

She documented her fun on Instagram with her original caption being, “happy 4th! I hope everyone’s celebrating this day with the people you love in this beautiful country we are blessed to live in!!”

It was a photo with her her cousins, Cole and Reed, and Reed’s fiancé, Brighton. Cole is holding an American flag while Sadie, Brighton, and Reed are holding bottled beverages in American-themed koozies.

A couple hours and a few hundred comments later, Robertson added to the caption to clear the air.

Turns out, a lot of fans thought the bottled beverages were beer, and as most of y’all know, Robertson just recently turned 19-years-old; two years younger than the legal drinking age.

“No one notices the beer in her hand??” one user commented.

Another one said, “She’s slick trying to cover it up with a holder!”

A debate occurred in the comments section on whether people thought it was actually beer or not.

Coke in our our hands for all the haters,” Robertson added to the caption.

Some commenters weren’t convinced, even though she cleared the air.
