Ever since the great Nashville chair-throw of 2024, no one has heard anything from Morgan Wallen . . . until this past Friday night. Morgan finally tweeted out and accepted responsibility for his actions.
He said, “I didn’t feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks. I’ve touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief’s. I’m not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility.”
Then he followed it up with, “I have the utmost respect for the officers working every day to keep us all safe. Regarding my tour, there will be no change.” And then he signed off with his initials, MW.
Not sure if it was necessary to plug his tour inside the apology tweet, but at least he has publicly owned up.
He also had a show this past weekend the University of Mississippi. It was his first show back, since chair-gate. And it was a make-up show from last year when it was abruptly canceled minutes before he was supposed to go on stage.
Morgan might have made a nod to his current legal troubles at one point in the show when he was talking about playing sports as a kid. He said, “In high school, I almost got kicked off the team . . . I was a little rowdy back then. I guess I’m still a little rowdy now.”
Rowdy as in “Rowdy” Roddy Piper? Except in his profession, he was allowed to throw chairs. Morgan is due in court on May 3rd.
