Morgan Wallen breaks silence on 'SNL' after abrupt exit sparked controversy
Morgan Wallen was ready to go home – and he meant it. Back on March 29, the "I'm the Problem" singer was the musical guest for "Saturday Night Live" when he abruptly left the stage during the traditional end-of-show credits segment. Shortly after leaving Manhattan's 30 Rockefeller Plaza, Wallen wrote that he was excited to return home. The country music star shared a photo on his Instagram Stories of a private jet with the caption "Get me to God's country" written over it. On Sunday, the 31-year-old appeared on comedian Caleb Pressley's podcast when he finally addressed his sudden exit. "Seriously, 'SNL,' did they make you mad?" the host questioned after cracking several jokes. "No, no, I was just ready to go home," said Wallen. "I've been there all week." During the episode, the two also poked fun at another incident that landed the star in hot water. "Do you mind if we do a new segment presented by Food Barn, please?" said Pressley. "In this segment, I want you to name a thing that you can sit in that also flies through the air." "I mean, there's one obvious answer," said Wallen. "Why do you want me to say that though? I mean, yeah, a jet." "There's another answer to that question as well," Pressley teased. "You can sit in it, and it can also fly through the air." "Oh, I know the answer to that question," said the singer. "A chair!" In 2024, Wallen was sentenced to spend seven days in a DUI education center and be under supervised probation for two years after throwing a chair from the rooftop of a Nashville, Tennessee, bar. The chair nearly hit two police officers. Regarding the "SNL" incident, sources previously told Fox News Digital that nothing was wrong at the show, and Wallen's walk-off appeared to be an "oops" moment. "That was the way he entered and exited the studio all week during rehearsal and camera blocking, so he just walked that way after hugging [host] Mikey [Madison]," an insider revealed. It is customary for "SNL" guests to stay and congratulate the cast. In the episode, Madison thanked the "Last Night" singer for appearing on the show before he walked directly off the stage. Cameras then panned out to the cast congratulating each other. During his appearance, Wallen performed two songs from his upcoming album, including "Just in Case" and "I'm the Problem." While the sudden exit sparked rumors of a disagreement between Wallen and "SNL," he appeared unfazed. Instead, Morgan capitalized on the viral exit by selling merchandise with the phrase "Get me to God's country" written on them. A week after Wallen's appearance, "SNL" addressed the incident in a cold-open bit, reported. According to the outlet, James Austin Johnson's Donald Trump impersonation took a shot at Wallen while discussing "Liberation Day" tariffs. "I even put tariffs on an island uninhabited by humans," said Johnson in character. "It's called Heard and McDonald Island. I would love to visit there. Can you imagine that? Big Mac and a hula skirt. Get me to God's country, right? Remember that?" The outlet reported that during that same April 5 episode, Colin Jost targeted the singer during a bit about the economy. "This was the worst week for the stock market since the summer of 2020," he said. "But you have to remember — back then, the president was also Trump. Just in the past two days, investors have lost over $6 trillion. Money is leaving the stock market faster than Morgan Wallen at goodnights." Kenan Thompson also spoke out about the unusual quickstep. "We're so used to everybody just turning around and high-fiving us, everybody's saying, 'Good job, good job, good job.' So when there's a departure from that, it's like, hmm, I wonder what that's about?" Thompson said. Still, the comic noted that Prince pulled a similar move during his appearance years ago. "I'm not saying Morgan Wallen is Prince, but we weren't surprised because Prince was notoriously kind of standoffish," Thompson said. "It's just how he was. So, we just thought like, 'OK, now he's gone back into fantasyland.'" Morgan's return to "SNL" was years in the making following a controversial debut. WATCH: MORGAN WALLEN RAISES EYEBROWS FOR WALKING OFF 'SNL' BEFORE SHOW END Roughly seven months into the pandemic, Wallen was asked to be the musical guest on an October episode of "Saturday Night Live." Days before he was scheduled to perform, footage went viral across social media showing the singer not wearing a COVID mask at an Alabama football game and celebrating with various women at a bar afterward. People who supported masks and social distancing during the pandemic were outraged. He was immediately removed from the scheduled "SNL" appearance. Wallen apologized in a video shared online. "I'm in New York City in a hotel room, I was getting ready for 'SNL' this Saturday, and I got a call from the show letting me know that I will no longer be able to play," he said. "That's because of COVID protocols, which I understand." After apologizing, he added, "I think I've lost myself a little bit. I've tried to find joy in the wrong places, and it's left me with less joy. So I'mma go try to work on that. I'm gonna take a step back from the spotlight for a while and go work on myself." Two months later, Wallen was invited back to 30 Rockefeller Plaza for a second chance on "Saturday Night Live." He not only performed, but also poked fun at his bar antics while appearing in a sketch with Pete Davidson, Jason Bateman and Bowen Yang. When the episode was over, he thanked the audience for "giving this poor Southern boy a second Yankee chance."

The Bleep Off! Christina Haack and Tarek & Heather El Moussa Can't Stop Dropping F-Bombs on 'The Flip Off'
HGTV sounded more like HBO on the latest episode of The Flip Off! Episode two of Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa and Christina Haack's new series was a tense one for the three competitors — and that stress seemingly manifested in their colorful exclamations. They wracked up nine bleep-worthy swears, five of which were seemingly F-bombs, in one hour of home makeover TV. Christina in particular was letting the foul language fly with three uses of the F-word. Tarek and Heather came in with what appeared to be one each, though the camera angles make it difficult to read their lips in some scenes. And Kylie Wing, Christina's design partner who has stepped in to help fill her ex Josh Hall's empty spot on the show, was responsible for one more. Related: Christina Haack Addresses 'Sister Wives' Comments About Her Unconventional Bond with Tarek & Heather El Moussa While Tarek and Heather's bleeps often came in moments of tension — when they broke an item or messed up a task — Christina's were casually strewn throughout. "I'm not telling you my f—ing partner. There's zero chance that's happening," she tells the El Moussas in one scene early on. "Still looks like s— in here," she jokes later to another member of her team, contractor Michael Lange, when entering a bedroom that's down to the studs. While the volume of cursing may seem surprising, the house flipping showdown has deviated from the HGTV norm from the start. The premise revolves around pitting exes and co-parents Christina and Tarek against one another in a house-flipping showdown. When Christina's would-be teammate and third husband, Josh, filed for divorce in the middle of filming, the drama got even more real. And of course, that's all on top of the high-stakes home makeovers they're executing, competing for bragging rights and a family vacation paid for by their opponent. The show's two-hour premiere in particular was emotionally loaded as Christina broke the news to Tarek that she and Josh had "officially split up" and the pair ended up having a tear-filled heart-to-heart during which they forgave one another for their past behavior "100 percent." Related: Christina Haack Goes Instagram Official with New Boyfriend Christopher Larocca in Cozy Private Jet Photo Despite their brutal divorce, including a marriage-ending 2016 incident during which Tarek fled their home with a gun and Christina called 9-1-1, the exes have, for the most part, found ways to come together over the years. With a few exceptions, they've amicably co-parented their kids Taylor, 14, and Brayden, 9. (Tarek is also dad to son Tristan, 2, with Heather, and Christina shares son Hudson, 5, with ex Ant Anstead). In January 2024, Tarek shared that their relationship was better than it's been, ever since the separation." And after Christina and Josh's split, Tarek and Heather both expressed their support for her. 'We're here for anything she needs, honestly,' Tarek told Access Hollywood on a red carpet in December 2024. 'I know there's a lot of stuff going on in the world between the co-parenting, but at the end of the day, we're actually friends. We take care of each other, we're really supportive.' The Flip Off airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on HGTV. Read the original article on People
