Kaley Cuoco sorry for photo of dogs sitting on US flag

Kaley Cuoco has apologized for posting a picture on social media on Independence Day of her dogs sitting on an American flag.

Commenters sharply criticized the Instagram photo, which the "Big Bang Theory" star had said was taken by her dog sitter while she was out of town.

She later removed the picture and posted another with a graphic of an American flag in the shape of a heart. In the caption she writes that she made a mistake and sincerely apologizes to "anyone that has been offended."

She adds that the picture in no way reflects her "feelings toward what the American flag represents."

She calls herself "a proud American, today, tomorrow, always."

 

I would like to comment on a photo I posted yesterday , that has caused lots of controversy. First off, please know, I have the utmost respect for my country. I am a proud American in every sense of the word. I understand the American flag stands for our freedom and represents American heroes , past and present. Yesterday I made a mistake by posting the picture that was taken of my sweet dogs posing on an American flag. I sincerely apologize to anyone that has been offended by my previous post. This is no way reflects my feelings toward what the American flag represents. Living in the public eye, can be extremely difficult at times. Every mistake and every imperfection is amplified. I am not perfect. I am a proud American, today, tomorrow, always. ?
