In 2021, country music star Maren Morris faced backlash and death threats after speaking out against Morgan Wallen for using a racial slur. The hate extended not only to Morris but also to her infant son, making the situation even more alarming.
During an episode of Sophia Bush's 'Work in Progress,' Morris criticized Wallen's use of the N-word, prompting a wave of negative reactions. Morris expressed her surprise at the intensity of the backlash, noting that some individuals took her criticism personally, as if she was attacking them directly.
