Country music star Morgan Wallen has finally addressed his recent arrest for allegedly throwing a chair from the top of a six-story bar in Nashville. In a tweet posted on Friday, the 30-year-old singer expressed his remorse and took responsibility for his actions. Wallen admitted that he was not proud of his behavior and acknowledged the need to make amends with those affected by the incident.
Wallen revealed that he had reached out to Nashville law enforcement, his family, and the management of Chief’s, the bar where the incident occurred. He also expressed his utmost respect for the officers who work tirelessly to ensure public safety. Despite the arrest, Wallen assured his fans that his ongoing One Night at a Time stadium tour would proceed as planned, with no changes to the schedule.
The country superstar is scheduled to appear in court on May 3, coinciding with his three-night performance at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium. He currently faces three felony counts of reckless endangerment and one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct. Witnesses reported seeing Wallen pick up a chair, throw it over the roof, and laugh about it. The chair landed dangerously close to police officers, prompting an investigation.
This is not the first time Wallen has faced legal trouble. In 2020, he was arrested for public intoxication and disorderly conduct after being ejected from Kid Rock’s bar in downtown Nashville. Additionally, earlier this year, Wallen faced severe backlash and was temporarily suspended by his record label after a video surfaced of him using a racist slur while intoxicated. He has since apologized and taken time away from the spotlight to work on personal growth.
Wallen’s career has been marked by both success and controversy. His album “Dangerous” made history by spending 100 weeks in the Billboard 200 chart’s Top 10. However, his recent actions have overshadowed his achievements, raising questions about his future in the industry.
