Morgan Wallen is facing the consequences of his misconduct as his recent arrest has resulted in him being unable to showcase his name in lights outside his upscale Nashville bar.
Nashville’s Metro Council is not granting the country singer a neon sign outside the bar due to concerns that his chair-throwing antics have brought a negative reputation to the city. This decision sets him apart from other country artists like Garth Brooks, Miranda Lambert, and Luke Bryan, who have been given this honor for their downtown bars.
The Council decisively rejected the idea of including Morgan’s name in the neon club. Only 3 members supported it, while 30 members firmly opposed it.
Councilmember Jordan Huffman strongly criticized Morgan for his hateful and harmful comments and actions, stating that he is not suitable to represent Nashville.
Morgan has a long history of engaging in controversial behavior. Most recently, on April 7, he was arrested and charged with three felony counts of reckless endangerment and one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct. This came after he threw a chair off the roof of a downtown bar.
According to a witness, Wallen apparently threw the chair without any apparent reason, narrowly missing Nashville PD officers. Wallen is scheduled to appear in a Nashville court in August to address this incident.
Morgan has issued an apology, expressing his deep remorse for his actions. He acknowledges that he is appalled by his own behavior.
Unfortunately, it appears that the harm has already been inflicted, particularly in regards to the preferential treatment his new hangout spot is receiving.
Despite the absence of a sign, This Bar and Tennessee Kitchen, Morgan’s latest venture in Nashville, is set to welcome the public this Memorial Day weekend.
