Food Network star Sunny Anderson is speaking out after a Veterans Day incident at Arlington National Cemetery sparked controversy, and the former The Kitchen host isn’t holding back.
Anderson, who served in the U.S. Air Force before launching her television career, expressed her outrage in an Instagram comment about an incident involving Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s group at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Wednesday, Nov. 11. Her reaction was first reported by Atlanta Black Star.
The controversy began when a military sentinel guarding the tomb reprimanded members of the group after noise was heard during a solemn ceremony.
According to the Associated Press, the incident was captured on video and drew criticism online, with some viewers questioning the behavior of those in attendance.
Anderson was among those who expressed strong feelings about what happened.
“I’M DISGUSTED,” she wrote in a comment on an Instagram Reel about the incident.
“I have been there to honor my fellow military members. I’ve been there to interview the men and women that guard this cemetery. This is the ULTIMATE DISRESPECT.”
Her reaction carries a particularly personal connection. Before becoming a familiar face on Food Network, Anderson served in the Air Force, where she began her broadcasting career.
The television personality has spoken publicly about her military service over the years, and her comment made clear that Arlington National Cemetery holds special meaning for her.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier honors unidentified American service members who died in military conflicts. The site is guarded continuously by specially trained soldiers, who maintain strict standards of discipline and solemnity.
Although the video sparked criticism involving Hegseth’s group, it does not establish that the defense secretary himself was responsible for the noise.
Following the incident, Hegseth publicly praised the sentinel for maintaining the standards expected of those guarding the tomb and presented him with a commendation on Nov. 12.
For Anderson, however, the incident was clearly upsetting. Her comment underscored the importance she places on respecting the cemetery and the service members honored there.
