*Ciara may have gotten praise for her national anthem at the College Football Playoff Championship game Monday night, but her dress- with its sheer material partially exposing her breasts, rankled at least one reporter – who decided to tweet her thoughts and was promptly dragged.
Campus Insiders reporter Bonnie Bernstein said in her post: “Dear Ciara. You’re stunning. But this is a National Championship Game. Kids are watching. Cover up.”
Dear Ciara. You’re stunning. But this is a National Championship Game. Kids are watching. Cover up.

Twitter cried “hypocrite” and accused her of having a racial double standard:
@BonnieBernstein but the cheerleaders & majorettes have less clothing on than Ciara ? — Christin (@GetIt2Gethers) January 12, 2016

Bonnie responded, telling her critics to “grow up.”
Truly am amazed at how people take a tweet (that includes a compliment!) & wanna make it about race. Seriously. Grow up. Watch the game.

@BonnieBernstein and telling people to grow up is almost as condescending as the original tweet — Ashley Holcomb (@ashleyxholcomb) January 12, 2016
Ciara’s man, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, finally weighed in to show support:
“I see you baby!! Sounded amazing & looked flawless in every way! @Ciara”
