Morgan Wallen’s ex KT Smith reacts to his arrest for allegedly throwing chair off Nashville rooftop bar
She “Thought You Should Know.”
Morgan Wallen‘s ex-fiancée KT Smith is speaking out after the country singer was arrested for allegedly throwing a chair off the rooftop of a Nashville bar on Sunday.
Smith, who shares son Indigo, 3, with the singer, stated that she firmly believes that the outburst caused by Wallen, 30, was not related to her surprise marriage to Luke Scornavacco.
“Although it may seem like it correlates because of the timeline, I have no evidence to believe the incident had anything to do with the recent marriage announcement,” Smith, 29, told the Daily Beast.
“I cannot speak on Morgan’s behalf, but I do pray the very best for him. Praying that this was just a slip-up and that he will return to the good path that he was on prior.”
The comment made by Smith comes after a source told the Daily Mail that the incident was directly related to Wallen finding out that his ex had tied the knot with Scornavacco, 22.
A source, however, told The Post that the story was fabricated.
Smith and the “Whiskey Glasses” singer began dating in 2016 and got engaged a few months later.
The pair broke off the engagement, but continued their romance for several years before splitting for good in July 2020.
Smith and Scornavacco, meanwhile, announced their engagement in an Instagram post on March 30, with the caption: “Why save the good things for later.”
A mere five days later, the twosome surprised many of their social media followers when they announced that they secretly got hitched.
As The Post previously reported, Wallen had just finished performing at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis when he was taken into custody by Nashville police outside of Chief’s bar, which is owned by Wallen’s pal Eric Church, just after 10:45 p.m. over the weekend.
According to officers at the scene, the chair allegedly thrown by the singer landed three feet away from them.
“At 10:53 pm Sunday evening Morgan Wallen was arrested in downtown Nashville for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct,” his attorney Worrick Robinson told The Post in a statement. “He is cooperating fully with authorities.”
Wallen was later charged with three counts of reckless endangerment and one count of disorderly conduct.
The Billboard Music Award winner was released from the Davidson County jail around 3:30 a.m. after paying a $15,250 bond.
Several onlookers also reported that the country star seemed to be laughing after the incident.
Wallen is set to appear in court on May 3, the same day he is slated to perform at Nissan Stadium in Nashville as a part of his “One Night at a Time” tour.
