Jenna Bush Hager apologizes live on Today as she ‘sets the record straight’

Jenna Bush Hager isn’t afraid to poke fun of herself – nor admit when she’s made a mistake! On July 14, the Today star took part in the latest trend in which people pretend to sit down for a documentary while dramatic music plays in the background. 

Referencing her past arrests in 2001 – which were both related to alcohol while underage – Jenna said in the video: “Preparing for my Netflix documentary about that one time at El Arroyo when I was 19. IYKYK.” 

Jenna was arrested twice aged 19 – the first time was for a misdemeanor possession of alcohol at an Austin bar. The second happened a month later when she was handcuffed with her twin sister, Barbara, for attempting to purchase alcohol with a fake ID at a Mexican restaurant. 

However, after sharing the footage online, fans were quick to correct Jenna, pointing out the restaurant was Chuy’s, not El Arroyo. 

Correcting her mistake on Today’s July 15 episode of Jenna & Sheinelle, Jenna told viewers (which can be viewed in the video above): “I need to set the record straight. on something that was posted on social media yesterday. So on this video right here, I incorrectly stated, with the help of the social media team, that I had a drink at El Arroyo. 

“Now I have had some drinks at El Arroyo, but the drink we will be talking about in the documentary was actually at Chuy’s. So I just want to say, I am sorry El Arroyo, you always served me. I’m just kidding!”
