Maren Morris claimed her infant son received 'scary' death threats after she called out country music star Morgan Wallen for using the N-word in 2021.
Maren Morris claimed she received death threats after calling out Morgan Wallen in 2021, and so did her infant son. Morris opened up about the hate she received after calling out the country music star for using a racial slur in an episode of Sophia Bush's 'Work in Progress.' 'The Bones' singer has 'contemplated' how people were 'this pissed' about her 'criticism of cruelty' for years.
Wallen made headlines in 2021 after a video of him using the N-word surfaced online. Even though he was nominated for multiple Academy of Country Music Awards that year, Wallen was not included in the ceremony in any capacity. He was also dropped by his record label, and his music was banned from iHeartRadio. Many celebrities reacted to the news on social media, including Kelsea Ballerini and Morris. 'The news out of Nashville tonight does not represent country music,' Ballerini wrote.
Morris tweeted, 'It actually IS representative of our town because this isn't his first 'scuffle' and he just demolished a huge streaming record last month regardless. We all know it wasn't his first time using that word. We keep them rich and protected at all costs with no recourse.' Wallen opened up about the video and his racial slur months after the video surfaced in an interview with Michael Strahan.
was around some of my friends and we just, we say dumb stuff together. In our minds, it's playful. It sounds ignorant, but that's really where it came from, and it's wrong,' Wallen said. 'We were all clearly drunk, and I was asking his girlfriend to take care of him because he was drunk, and he was leaving. I didn't mean it in any derogatory manner at all.'
