Fans are running to defend country music artist Morgan Wallen after a clip appearing to show him pour a drink down a woman’s blouse went viral across the internet.
Morgan Wallen fans are coming to the defence of the singer after it was alleged he’d purposefully poured a drink on his female companion.
However, fans are claiming the TikTok video only shows Morgan joking around with a friend.
WATCH: Morgan Wallen ‘pours’ drink down a friend at Nashville bar
Friday night is the time to let loose but some news outlets have seemingly looked too far into Morgan’s antics during his latest bar session.
Wallen, 29, faced backlash after claims he’d drenched a woman with alcohol for his own entertainment. According to Meaww and Fox Bangor, the article stated The Voice singer had “dropped” the drink “right down the front of her shirt,” before adding “it would appear he realized she wasn’t pleased with the rude gesture.”
The article was shared on Reddit but has since been deleted, as was the news tweet reading: “Morgan Wallen was filmed pouring a drink down a woman’s shirt at Nashville bar, a gesture she didn’t seem to expect… and which she didn’t take too kindly to based on her immediate reaction.”
WOTHAPPEN has found the video in question, so you can judge for yourself:
While we agree there looks to be some tension as the You Proof singer forcefully pulls his hand back after the woman attempts to grab him, we don’t think Morgan actually pours a drink down her front.
You can see the Sneedville, Tennessee, artist smiling and pretending to spill it as a joke before the pair get closer to chat briefly. Morgan also proceeds to sit down at the same table.
GRV Media and HITC have reached out to Morgan Wallen’s representatives for comment.
Fans support Morgan amid bar antic backlash
Morgan Wallen supporters are blasting the haters back for judging the singer before watching the entire footage.
“Someone behaving like a douche at a bar on Broadway in Nashville? Get me my fainting couch!” a Reddit user commented sarcastically.
To which one replied: “Morgan Wallen has the maturity of an eighth-grade boy but the video didn’t show what the headline said. It was pretty obvious he didn’t pour the drink on the woman just by watching it.”
Honestly, if you watch the clip they have of it there was no spilled alcohol, and he and the chick were laughing and carrying on afterward,” a second chimed.
