Gretchen Wilson may joke about her arrest in Connecticut last week, but ultimately she doesn’t think it’s very funny.

The “Redneck Woman” singer spoke about the Aug. 21 incident, revealing little about what happened, but elaborating on her emotions since the incident — and how she shared the news with her mother and teenage daughter.

“I’m saddened by the whole thing,” she admits. “I don’t know that I could say — I mean, I’m embarrassed that that situation got to where it was, but not personally.”
