Guy Fieri divided fans with a political message after Food Network star, Kevin Cooper, filed a lawsuit against him.
On Friday, July 4, the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives star, 57, took to Instagram with a photo of a bald eagle edited to look like him—complete with spiky hair and sunglasses.

"Happy 4th of July everyone!!" Fieri captioned his update. "Enjoy it!! ??????."
Although the image itself wasn't controversial, the post amid political turmoil in the U.S. coupled with a confusing song choice turned heads.
Fieri included Bruce Springsteen's 1984 track "Born in the U.S.A," a song about a Vietnam War veteran who returns to the U.S. to face poverty, unemployment and feeling alienated, despite its chorus seeming patriotic.

In the comments, one Instagram user wrote, "But why Bruce Springsteen song???" as another echoed, "Bruce is not pro America! He’s a lib ?."
Someone else wrote, "Great, except for the choice of song."
Another pointed out, "Who’s gonna tell him Born in the USA isn’t about the USA…"
However, others simply replied with messages celebrating the national holiday.
One follower declared, "??❤️??? 'Merica!!!!!!!!"
A different fan joked, "Is it an eagle or is it @guyfieri ?."
Meanwhile, yet another Instagram user commented, "Happy 4th July @guyfieri ????."
Fieri's post came just days after Cooper, a Philadelphia-based chef, filed a lawsuit against him claiming breach of contract regarding his winner package for Guy's Chance of a Lifetime in 2022. He broke his silence about the bold allegation on July 1.
