Jenna Bush Hager Accuses Her ‘Today’ Producers Of ‘Shaming’ Her Drinking In New Clip

Jenna Bush Hager, 41, accused the producers of the ‘Today’ show of trying to shame her and her twin sister Barbara Bush for underage drinking in an episode that aired earlier this month. On Thursday, November 9th, Barbara filled in for her sister’s regular co-host Hoda Kotb – and things took an interesting turn when the ladies were reflecting on their youth…

While the sisters were playing a game of ‘First Loves’ on Today with Hoda & Jenna, a question came up about “the first cocktail I ever loved,” which Jenna thought was a subtle dig at her and her sister based on something that happened over 20 years ago.

If you cast your minds back to 2001, shortly after their father George W. Bush took office, the girls were cited with Class C misdemeanors after a then-19-year-old Jenna was accused of trying to order a drink in a Texas restaurant using a fake ID.

Previously talking to co-host Hoda on an earlier episode of Today, Jenna, who is looking trimmer than ever these days, explained: “I didn’t actually go to jail, I just was arrested. I wasn’t even arrested, I was never detained. I just got a minor in possession of alcohol when I was 20-years-old because I ordered a margarita at Chuy’s with a fake ID.” She also confirmed the ID belonged to “a girl in my sorority. Her name is Allison, it was a real ID. But they took that thing away from me.”
