In February 2021, country music star Morgan Wallen was suspended from his record label and his music was pulled by several radio stations and streaming services after a video surfaced of him shouting a racial slur.
Immediately following this incident, his sales increased 1,220%. On April 7th, Wallen was arrested on felony charges for allegedly throwing a chair from the roof of a bar on Broadway in downtown Nashville. This incident added to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding his actions and public image.
While Wallen has apologized for the incident, it’s still not clear how accountable he will be held. Will this damage his reputation? Will he face legal ramifications? Today we talk about accountability!
