Country music singer Morgan Wallen apologized in a new video after using a racial slur during a 72-hour bender.
Feb.11 (UPI) — Morgan Wallen is asking his fans not to defend him for using a racial slur in a leaked video last week. The 27-year-old country music singer apologized again in a video Wednesday on Instagram after using a racial slur during a night out with friends. In his apology, Wallen said the video of the incident was filmed on “hour 72 of 72 of a bender.” He said his actions let a lot of people down, including his parents and his son. “I’m not okay with that,” the star said. “So this week I’ve been waiting to say anything further until I got the change to apologize to those closest to me, that I knew I personally hurt.” Wallen said he also accepted invitations from Black leaders and organizations “to engage in some very real and honest conversations.
