Country music star Morgan Wallen, 31, pleaded guilty to throwing a chair from a rooftop bar in Nashville, resulting in two misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment. The incident occurred at fellow country singer Eric Church’s bar, Chief’s, in Nashville’s Broadway district. Wallen was sentenced to seven days at a DUI education center and two years’ probation.
Security footage showed the chair Wallen threw landing close to officers, who witnessed him laughing about the situation. Wallen was arrested in April and later released from jail.
Wallen apologized on social media following the incident, stating he was not proud of his behavior and accepted responsibility. Despite the incident, Wallen was named entertainer of the year at the CMA awards last month.
This is not the first time Wallen has faced controversy, as he was previously caught on video using a racial slur outside his Tennessee home in 2021. Wallen has expressed regret for his actions and acknowledged that there is no excuse for his behavior. This story was initially reported by NBC News.
Overall, Morgan Wallen’s recent behavior has garnered attention, but he has taken steps to take responsibility for his actions and make amends.
