Well, it’s officially been almost three weeks since Morgan Wallen was arrested for tossing a chair off of the rooftop of Eric Church’s new Nashville bar, Chief’s, and the internet jokes are still running rampant.
Ever since the news broke that the 30 year-old country star had been booked and charged with three felony counts of reckless endangerment and one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct, the comment sections of every Wallen related post have been filled with lyrics from some of the singer’s most popular songs, replacing any noun possible with the word “chair.”
“Leave them broadway chairs alone.”
“I found a chair in this bar.”
And after a couple weeks of silence, Morgan finally took to X (formerly Twitter) to clear the air and issue an apology for his actions that night at Church’s bar, saying, “I’m not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility.”
I have the utmost respect for the officers working every day to keep us all safe. Regarding my tour, there will be no change. -MW

Morgan also played his first-show since the arrest this past weekend in Oxford, Mississippi, and after the concert was over, he was caught on camera signing a T-shirt for a young fan with a picture of his mugshot on the front and text that read, “Leave Them Broadway Chairs Alone.”
Before running back across the stage, Morgan smiled and told the fan “do as I say, not as I do.” Watch here:
