As Morgan Wallen makes his way around the U.S. on his One Night at a Time tour, not everyone is happy to see him.
A series of both fans and haters have sent letters to Nashville newspaper The Tennessean, all slamming Wallen's behavior and stating that he should not be welcomed into their town after countless controversies. Some even insisted that the "Wasted On You" singer "should have been thrown in jail" and that they "will never watch or attend his concerts."
"I'm 50 years old and I think the newer generations today don't give a care about morality the way people used to," one letter sent to the newspaper said. "So much violence and so forth can be seen on social media these days on a daily basis that a lot of people it seems, are becoming immune to it. I understand this was a heavy chair that was thrown and could have done a lot of serious damage to someone."
Another critic admitted to being a fan of Wallen's music, but claimed that he should not be rewarded after his drunken antics. Looking back on his recent Nashville arrest, the writer went on to say that "he needs help."
"I enjoy Morgan Walden's music very much but have judged him not reliable as a human being," he said. "After the scandal and backlash over his drunken use of a racist term, you'd think he had learned that if he's not careful he could ruin his own career and life."
Another Tennessee-native called for the state to stop promoting Wallen after his legal issues. Many don't want the singer to represent their state as his case continues to gain national attention.
"Stop praising, promoting and ignoring aberrant behavior(s) of Morgan Wallen. He is consistently demonstrating poor and dangerous judgment that borders on pathological dysfunction. It is shameful to celebrate him in any way," another entry wrote.
Wallen was arrested earlier this year after throwing a chair off the roof of Eric Church's bar in the Broadway district of Nashville. After being taken in by the police on the night of his arrest, the "Whiskey Glasses" singer could face up to six years in prison.
He took to social media over a week after the incident to apologize.
"I didn't feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks," he posted on X, formerly Twitter. "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."
While locals who wrote into the Tennessean condemned his behavior, other fans of Wallen said that they "kind of expected" the arrest, with some even admitting that they found it "really funny, not gonna lie."
Wallen recently announced that he will be bringing the high-grossing tour to Europe, starting later this year. This weekend, he is set to play MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
