Morgan Wallen has grabbed headlines after a sudden exit via Just Jared. The 31-year-old country star walked off stage in the middle of the end of Saturday Night Live on Saturday (March 29), in which he appeared as musical guest.
During the moment, he stated something to host Mikey Madison before giving her a one-armed hug and heading for the exit as the rest of the cast stayed on stage, as is customary for every episode during the ending credits roll.
Viewers felt something was off, especially as castmates Ego Nwodim and Kenan Thompson looked confused by his exit.
Later in the night, Morgan posted on his Instagram Story a photo of a private jet and wrote, “Get me to God’s country.”
However, a source close to Morgan says his walking off stage was an accident.
“We’re told he entered and exited the studio the same way he did Saturday night during rehearsal and camera blocking all week leading up to the live show…so he routinely headed that way when he thought it was time to go,” TMZ reported on Sunday (March 30).
This isn’t the only controversy involving SNL and Morgan: in October 2020, he was disinvited as the musical guest after he was caught partying it up in Alabama with no mask amid COVID-19 protocols. He ended up on the show two months later.
