‘SNL’ Writer Mocks Morgan Wallen for Exiting Stage During Show Ending

“SNL” writer Josh Patten has trolled Morgan Wallen after the singer’s shocking act of walking away from the stage during a recent live show.

Wallen graced the stage as the musical guest during this weekend’s episode of “SNL,” where he showcased tracks such as “I’m the Problem” and “Just in Case,” both featured on his upcoming fourth studio album.

His unexplained exit sparked controversy online, with many viewers slamming him as a “petty loser” and “tone-deaf.”

In the past, Morgan Wallen courted controversy for using a racial slur in leaked video footage. He later issued an apology for his actions.

The talented singer Morgan Wallen made headlines over the weekend for his sudden exit during the closing moments of “Saturday Night Live,” according to reports from the New York Post.

Dressed casually in light blue jeans, a white undershirt, and a slightly oversized blue long-sleeved shirt, Wallen seemed visibly eager for the show to conclude so he could make his departure.

Subsequently, the 31-year-old posted a photo of a private plane on his Instagram Story, captioning it, “Get me to God’s country,” seemingly implying that it was his ride back home.

He is now being trolled by “SNL” writer John Patten, who took to his Instagram Stories to post a picture of an open Krispy Kreme truck with the same caption: “Get me to God’s country.”

The writer also shared a screenshot of an online comment that read, “Guessing Patten’s not a Morgan Wallen fan?” He captioned the image with a cryptic eye-rolling emoji.

On social media, Wallen was hit by a flurry of backlash over his decision to leave the “SNL” stage during the closing credits.

An X user commented, “Morgan Wallen with a little more of the catty-a-s petty loser sh-t he so proudly displayed running offstage down the center aisle & right past the camera at SNL curtain call…This & the tone-deaf private jet flaunt couldn’t be more lame & undercutting coming from a country star.”

Another wrote, “And if he didn’t wanna be there so bad, he should’ve turned it down. Anything for a little publicity, eh?”

Someone else commented, “Morgan Wallen proving once again he has ZERO self control and is a little b-tch storming off the stage before the credits even rolled. Hope the tantrum was worth it because you’ll NEVER be on #SNL again.”

Some fans also slammed the showrunners for picking Morgan Wallen as a guest artist.

“It was a bad choice by whoever made the decision. An attempt at cross-pollinating audiences backfired,” a user wrote, while another commented, “Pick better people, SNL,” after listing out Wallen’s most recent controversies.

In the wake of the backlash, a source close to Wallen claimed that the singer’s exit was not intentional but rather a mistake, which was also evident during the practice session.

The insider told TMZ that the country music star “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.”

As such, “he routinely headed that way when he thought it was time” to leave the stage.

In the meantime, the singer has yet to make any remarks about the controversy he has stirred.

In 2021, Wallen was caught on video using the N-word, an action that almost got him canceled in the music industry.

At the time, the country music star came under heavy backlash as he seemingly got blacklisted from various music events.

During an interview with Billboard two years later, he revealed that he apologized for his actions and “never made an excuse.”

“There’s no excuse. I’ve never made an excuse. I never will make an excuse,” Wallen told the publication at the time.

Wallen shared that he met with several Black music industry leaders and organizations, where he gained a deeper understanding of his mistakes.

“I’ve talked to a lot of people, heard stories [about] things that I would have never thought about because I wasn’t the one going through it,” the singer added.

He continued, “And I think, for me, in my heart, I was never that guy that people were portraying me to be, so there was a little bit of like, ‘Damn, I’m kind of actually mad about this a little bit because I know I shouldn’t have said this, but I’m really not that guy.'”
