Morgan Wallen Breaks His Silence, Asks Fans to Stop Defending Him
Morgan Wallen has broken his silence, eight days after a video surfaced that shows him using the N-word. He says that moment came at the end of a 72-hour bender, and in a video message to fans posted on Wednesday night (Feb. 10), Wallen apologizes and gives an update what he s been doing to change. He also asks those who ve been defending him to quit doing so.
The emotional plea on social media reveals that Wallen has been sober for nine days and sees his relationship with alcohol as toxic to the man he s trying to be. Conversely, he s proud of who he is when he s sober, but recognizes that he let down his family, friends and professional team as well as his fans on the night that video was taken. He specifically calls out his parents and infant son, Indie, as people he has disappointed.
