<p>Matt Walsh — the new judge in town on the DailyWire+ arbitration-based reality courtroom comedy “JUDGED by Matt Walsh” — is coming down hard on country star Morgan Wallen after Wallen was arrested by Nashville police for allegedly throwing a chair from a rooftop bar on Broadway Street.</p>
<p>Wallen, 30, was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/morgan-wallen-arrested-after-throwing-chair-from-roof-of-nashville-bar-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested</a> earlier this week after a chair crashed to the ground near police officers. Witnesses reportedly described seeing Wallen “pick up the chair, throw it over him, laughing afterward.” In an appearance on “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1464-the-eclipse-proves-climate-change-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Michael Knowles Show</a>” on Tuesday, Judge Walsh quipped that all of the evidence in the case “adds up to a death sentence on multiple charges.”</p>
<p>“Everyone knows Broadway is for, like, white girls from New Jersey, not for actual residents of Nashville. So what are you doing on Broadway?” Judge Walsh asked. “What are you doing at a rooftop bar as a 30-year-old man? And then you add those two charges on top of throwing the chair, which could have killed you, could have killed ten people, depending on how closely they&#8217;re back together, depending on how heavy the chair is, which we don&#8217;t have that information.”</p>
<p>“But I think it all adds up to a death sentence on multiple charges. So I would I would execute him. I would execute Morgan Wallen. He should be killed,” Walsh added. “That&#8217;s my legal analysis.”</p>

<p>The new judge said he won’t be trying Wallen’s case in his courtroom as it doesn’t “rise to the level of the sort of cases that we see in this courtroom,” but Judge Walsh did tell Knowles about a few of the cases people will soon be able to watch on “JUDGED by Matt Walsh.”</p>
<p>“I don&#8217;t want to get into any spoilers or anything like that, but I will say that one of the cases has to do with a woman and her lips exploding,” Judge Walsh said, adding, “So we have exploding lips. We have cases that have to deal with a woman who got her finger bit by a dog. And she actually had a cut in a laceration on her finger because a dog bit it.</p>
<p>“We have a case that has to do with a man who didn&#8217;t want to cut the grass because he has an allergy to the grass,” the judge continued. “And there was a very intense dispute between him and his roommate about who would cut the grass because one doesn&#8217;t want to and the other has an allergy. So these are the sorts of cases that we deal with and know the cases that, you know, so-called real courts wouldn&#8217;t take. And they bring [them] to me and I give them the seriousness that they deserve.”</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Country singer </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/morgan-wallen"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Morgan Wallen</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> was taken into custody on felony charges Sunday night, per local police records.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 30-year-old was arrested after allegedly throwing a chair off the roof of a bar in downtown </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nashville"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nashville</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, according to </span><a href="https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/country-singer-morgan-wallen-arrested-in-nashville-after-throwing-chair-from-bar-rooftop-docs/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">WKRN</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Police officers were reportedly standing in front of Chiefs Bar on Broadway at around 10:53 p.m. when the chair crashed to the ground in front of them. The officers went inside to investigate, eventually determining that Wallen had thrown the chair.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Witnesses reportedly described seeing</span> Wallen “pick up the chair, throw it over him, laughing afterward.”</p>
<p>The “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/country-music">Last Night</a>” singer was charged with three counts of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/crime">reckless endangerment</a> and disorderly conduct. He was booked at Metro Jail early Monday morning and released, the report said.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wallen’s attorney issued a short statement confirming the incident.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wallen is currently on his “One Night at a Time Tour 2024,” which kicked off at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on April 4. He made headlines last week for joking about Taylor Swift at that show.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;This is the single most attended concert in the history of this building, and we’re the first to do it for two nights in a row,” Wallen told the assembled crowd. &#8220;I’m going to say that until Taylor Swift comes to town in the fall,&#8221; he added.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This quip was met with a chorus of booing from many concert attendees.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;We ain’t gotta boo, we ain’t gotta boo,&#8221; Wallen </span><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/morgan-wallen-fans-boo-taylor-swift-after-he-makes-joke-about-attendance-records-we-aint-gotta-boo"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He continued, &#8220;I appreciate that. I know ya’ll got my back,&#8221; before starting to play his song, &#8220;One Thing at a Time.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After the success of the tour in 2023, Wallen extended his touring schedule to include multiple U.S. stops throughout 2024. “Thank y’all for an insanely fun and fulfilling 2023 tour,” Wallen </span><a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/country/morgan-wallen-adds-2024-stadium-tour-dates-1235420868/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in a statement last September.  “It was impossible for me to hit every stadium that I wanted to in 2023, so we’re gonna keep this tour going in 2024. See y’all out there!”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Each stop will include three opening acts from different country stars, including Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, Bailey Zimmerman, Jon Pardi, Nate Smith, Bryan Martin, Lauren Watkins, and Ella Langley. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The singer’s next scheduled performance date is April 20 in Oxford, Mississippi.</span></p>

<p>Country music artist <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/three-country-stars-crush-billboard-charts-defy-the-woke-mob" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Morgan Wallen</a> took to social media on Friday to tell fans that his former management, allegedly against his consent, is releasing songs Wallen recorded back in 2014, when he was first trying his hand at the music business and signed deals without legal representation.</p>
<p>One of Wallen&#8217;s top concerns seemed to be that fans would think the release of these old songs, which he said were mostly &#8220;terrible,&#8221; could be confused by fans for new music from the singer.</p>
<p>&#8220;Trust me, when new music is ready, you’ll hear it directly from me,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Back in 2014, I went to Florida to try my hand at making original music &amp; songwriting for the first time,&#8221; Wallen <a href="https://www.instagram.com/purecountry93/p/C2kJNC0LHvp/?img_index=2">explained</a> in a post on Instagram, where the singer has nearly 7 million followers. &#8220;This led to a recording deal with a local investor &amp; an artist management deal that I deeply regret. Unfortunately, I signed both deals without any legal representation.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We made 13 songs,&#8221; the &#8220;Last Night&#8221; singer explained. &#8220;Some were ok, most were terrible as I was just learning how to write in general &amp; figuring it all out. I was not the only collaborator, so many of these songs were not my idea nor to my standards. We deemed 5 worthy-enough to make the Stand Alone EP which includes a fan-favorite, &#8216;Spin You Around.'&#8221;</p>
<p>Wallen said he &#8220;parted ways&#8221; with these people nearly a decade ago, but now they are going to release a “10th Anniversary edition &#8216;Stand Alone&#8217; against my wishes &amp; include 8 unreleased songs, distributing it with the assistance of my former managers.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;For months I’ve been exploring every avenue possible to acquire the rights to this old music &amp; keep the quality of my catalog consistent with songs I choose to release &amp; believe in,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It’s gross, greedy &amp; an example of how the dark side of the music business can suck the soul out of artists.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I don’t want to see this happen to anyone else,&#8221; Wallen emphasized. &#8220;I cringe when I listen to these songs &amp; I’m concerned my fans may mistakenly believe this is a new release by me.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I am donating $100k from the Morgan Wallen Foundation to the Volunteer Lawyers &amp; Professionals For The Arts (VLPA) program,&#8221; the 30-year-old added. &#8220;I hope young aspiring musicians read this story &amp; know they should never have to give up their creative freedoms for an opportunity in this business.&#8221;</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The magazine was founded in 1871 and has been online-only since 2020. Wallen and Church have plans on reviving the paper version of Field &amp; Stream, plus will be hosting an outdoor music festival featuring the brand in the fall.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Church said in a press release that the magazine was an important part of his childhood, which makes this acquisition extra special.</span></p>

It is the honor of my life to make sure that legacy carries on. It is both this responsibility to an American Icon and also to a young boy in his papaw’s truck that will be the compass that guides our steps,” he added.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wallen also chimed in, saying his outdoorsmen lifestyle draws him to the brand.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;There’s nothin’ I love more than being with friends around a campfire, on a boat or in a deer stand – and Field &amp; Stream represents all of those to me. … Being part of its future is incredible and we want to keep bringing people together outdoors, makin’ memories, for generations to come,” the country star said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Doug McNamee, former president of Chip and Joanna Gaines’ lifestyle brand, Magnolia, will be heading up the effort to refresh Field &amp; Stream. “We are committed to reinforcing Field and Stream’s legendary status as the authoritative voice of the American outdoors,” McNamee said in a statement, per USA Today.</span></p>

<p>The post included details about &#8220;advance registration to ensure more tickets get into the hands of fans directly by helping to filter out bots from the ticket purchase process.&#8221; Registration is open through Sunday, October 1 at 11:59 p.m. PT. The Instagram message also included a hilarious video of Wallen advising Peyton Manning against &#8220;dressing up&#8221; or &#8220;singing,&#8221; as Manning can be seen wearing a blonde mullet wig and baseball cap.</p>

<p>Manning replied to Wallen with a dig at the singer&#8217;s new look after he shaved off his signature mullet, &#8220;like that new haircut of yours. If you wanted someone who doesn&#8217;t know how to look cool and can&#8217;t sing or tell jokes, you should have called Eli.&#8221;</p>
<p>Eli then appeared on screen and told fans about the tour.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hey Morgan Wallen fans I&#8217;m Eli Manning and I&#8217;m pleased to announce &#8216;One Night At A Time 2024,'&#8221; Manning said. &#8220;Coming to a city near you.&#8221;</p>
<p>Additional tour dates include Indianapolis (April 4); Oxford, Mississippi (April 20); Nashville (May 2); Minneapolis (June 20); Denver (June 27); Tampa (July 11); Charlotte (July 18); Arlington, Texas (July 25); Kansas City (August 1); and Las Vegas (August 8).</p>

“Rich Men North of Richmond” by Oliver Anthony

Oliver Anthony

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Country music is having a moment, but it’s more significant than it looks.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Three country stars sat atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the first days of August. That marked a first for the Heartland-friendly genre, according to the music charting company which began tallying such figures in 1958.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jason Aldean (“Try That in a Small Town”), Morgan Wallen (“Last Night”), and Luke Combs (“Fast Car”) held the first three spots, beating back pop superstars like Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, and The Weeknd.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Those achievements matter more than just for historical purposes. Each artist ran headfirst into the woke mob and not only survived but thrived. And, by extension, the public stood behind the trio and sent a message with their purses and wallets.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can’t cancel country stars without our permission.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aldean’s right-leaning politics emerged during the Trump years. The singer says he couldn’t stay silent on political matters any longer, and he began addressing issues like vaccine mandates and President Joe Biden’s wobbly first term.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That may have raised some eyebrows in Left-leaning Country, Inc. but Aldean enraged the woke Left by uncorking his ode to patriotic small towns. His “Try That in a Small Town” came out in the spring, but the music video behind the song gave it a promotional booster shot in recent weeks.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The video and the song’s lyrics address the BLM/Antifa riots that engulfed the country following the death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Got a gun that my granddad gave me</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">They say one day they&#8217;re gonna round up</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Well, that s*** might fly in the city, good luck</span></i></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Try that in a small town</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">See how far ya make it down the road</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Around here, we take care of our own</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">You cross that line, it won&#8217;t take long</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">For you to find out, I recommend you don&#8217;t</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Try that in a small town</span></i></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The song’s pugnacious lyrics took no prisoners, but musicians have told violent stories for years without blowback. Tell that to the media and the Left. They joined forces against Aldean. CMT pulled the music video from its lineup. Critics lambasted its lyrics as reminiscent of a &#8220;</span><a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/jason-aldean-courthouse-black-teen-lynched-try-that-small-town-rcna95080" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">pro-lynching&#8221;</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">mindset</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span><a href="https://variety.com/2023/music/opinion/jason-aldean-try-that-in-a-small-town-worst-country-song-video-column-1235673177/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Variety dubbed it</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, “the most contemptible country song of the decade.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It didn’t matter that Aldean’s song doesn’t mention race, or that the BLM/Antifa riots were multicultural to the core. Nor that Aldean could have been writing from the perspective of a fed-up soul, sick of seeing his country burning.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Songwriters embrace the creative license to spin tales from any number of vantage points.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The fix was in, and in cases like this, the artist quickly grovels for forgiveness. </span><a href="https://people.com/movies/stephen-king-admits-stepped-over-line-oscars-diversity-comments/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Stephen King</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> did</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> just that. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">So did </span><a href="https://www.yahoo.com/video/scarlett-johansson-apologizes-accepting-transgender-185916559.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Scarlett Johansson</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Not Aldean. Here’s what </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">he said to a </span><a href="https://nypost.com/2023/07/22/jason-aldean-stands-by-try-that-in-a-small-town-amid-backlash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cincinnati crowd</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in reference to the controversy:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s been a long week, and I’ve seen a lot of stuff suggesting I’m this, suggesting I’m that … I feel like everybody’s entitled to their opinions. You can think something all you want to it doesn’t mean it’s true.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“What I am is a proud American. I’m proud to be from here. I love our country. I want to see it restored to what it once was before all this bulls*** started happening to us. I love my country, I love my family, and I will do anything to protect that, I can tell you that right now.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">No apology. No backpedal.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Soon enough, the song started making serious noise on various charts before hitting number one via <a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/country-songs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Billboard</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aldean stood up to the Cancel Culture mob and won. He still may suffer professional consequences, but it’s clear his fans have his back.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wallen’s Cancel Culture fight proved far more insidious.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2021, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">TMZ released a</span> <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2021/02/02/morgan-wallen-n-word-nashville-neighbors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">privately shot video</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in which Wallen used the “n-word.” He didn’t say it in a public venue, nor did he hurl it at a black person (he later indicated he directed the word at a good friend, and he was inebriated at the time.) He apologized immediately, but it wasn’t accepted by many in his industry. </span><a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/country/morgan-wallen-timeline-racial-slur-video-9587738/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wallen’s music got pulled</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> from radio and streaming platforms</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> the very next day, the latter including Spotify, iTunes, and Amazon Music. The ACM Awards said he was ineligible to win that year and his label suspended him “indefinently.” His booking agent also dropped him.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He later publicly apologized, met with black leaders, suspended his touring schedule, and checked into a rehab facility.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">His fans stood by him. In fact, Wallen’s record sales soared following the cancellation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The singer slowly re-entered the music marketplace, returning to live performances and releasing fresh material to build his career back.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It worked. His sales continued to climb and fans packed his appearances. Meanwhile, the press recoiled at his recovery efforts, suggesting </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">he should </span><a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/morgan-wallen-banned-country-radio-1227035/amp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">remain canceled</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, indefinitely.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The public made the final call. Again.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Combs’ woke battle happened in a much smaller fashion, but it’s still indicative of the press’ disdain for the genre. The singer uncorked a respectful cover of the 1988 Tracy Chapman smash “Fast Car,” and the song quickly connected with a new generation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That makes for a great story – one of the more unlikely crossover hits in recent memory. The Washington Post saw the story and decided to make Chapman, who is black and gay, </span><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2023/07/13/tracy-chapman-luke-combs-fast-car-cover/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">a victim</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Although many are thrilled to see ‘Fast Car’ back in the spotlight and a new generation discovering Chapman’s work, it’s clouded by the fact that, as a Black queer woman, Chapman, 59, would have almost zero chance of that achievement herself in country music.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The article got roasted, and rightly so, on social media. Chapman hardly seemed upset by the turn of events. The cover version </span><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/luke-combs-fast-car-success-marred-complicated-racial-debate-washington-post" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">earned her a small fortune</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and she praised Combs for putting her back atop the music charts.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I never expected to find myself on the country charts, but I’m honored to be there. I’m happy for Luke and his success and grateful that new fans have found and embraced ‘Fast Car.’&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Three country smashes. Three woke fails.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The far-Left can throw its weight around all it wants, but when the American public unites it remains a far more powerful force.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Just ask any Bud Light executive, assuming he or she is still gainfully employed.</span></p>

<p>He handed the hat back and looks over to the area of the crowd where the boot came from. Wallen then walked over to the boot, picked it up, and, instead of throwing it back to the side where it was thrown, launched it all the way to the other side of the arena.</p>

<p>Country stars Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs hold the top two spots on the Billboard Hot 100 song chart, marking the first time in more than 42 years that artists from the country genre have simultaneously held the No. 1 and No. 2 spots.</p>
<p>That hasn&#8217;t happened since Eddie Rabbitt&#8217;s &#8220;I Love a Rainy Night&#8221; and Dolly Parton&#8217;s &#8220;9 to 5&#8221; topped the list in the week ending March 7, 1981, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/morgan-wallen-luke-combs-country-hits-top-two-hot-100-1235361461/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Billboard</a> reported.</p>

<p>Wallen previously told fans he had gotten &#8220;some bad news&#8221; from his doctors about &#8220;reinjuring&#8221; his vocal cords after returning to the stage following ten days of rest, resulting in the vocal cord injury.</p>
<p>&#8220;Their advice is that I go on vocal rest for six weeks, so that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m going to do,&#8221; Wallen said. &#8220;They want me not to talk at all, but they said that if I need to it’s OK for something like this.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;[The doctors] told me that if I do this the right way that I&#8217;ll get back to 100 percent,&#8221; he added. &#8220;They also said that if I don&#8217;t listen and I keep singing, then I&#8217;ll permanently damage my voice. So for the longevity of my career, this is just the choice I had to make. I hate it but I love you guys. And I appreciate all the support…I&#8217;ll see you soon, and I&#8217;ll be back better than ever.&#8221;</p>
<p>The rescheduled shows will now take place between August 30, 2023, and June 7, 2024, the New York Post noted.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In her Instagram stories on Monday, Smith said Indigo was “OK,” but could have a small scar after the attack, per </span><a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/06/20/morgan-wallens-son-rushed-to-er-after-exs-dog-attacks-childs-face/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Page Six</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Yesterday, he bit Indigo in the face, and [Indigo] had to have stitches, and we spent yesterday morning at the emergency room,” the influencer wrote. Smith went on to describe how she adopted the Great Pyrenees breed dog, named Legend, in April 2022. She said they “kind of saved each other.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Since then, we have been looking for options, and I just couldn’t bring myself to what everyone else says and what you’re supposed to do, apparently — what the world tells you to do — is to put the dog down because they are aggressive,” Smith wrote. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Smith said she’s “gone back and forth with that” but ultimately decided her dog “does not deserve that because he is wonderful and could do really great with a family who doesn’t have small children.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I know I don’t want him to go to a kill shelter … and shelters are full,” Smith said in justification of her choice not to euthanize. “This will be all over the place, and I’ll also start off by saying I never wanted to bring this to social media, but he deserves better,” she said. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The influencer said she no longer planned to keep Legend in her home. “I’m getting Indigo back home tomorrow, and he has to be gone by then,” she shared in stories. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“He is not aggressive toward adults at all. You can get in his face, and you can do anything, and he’s still such a good dog,” Smith wrote.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wallen has not publicly commented on the situation. He dated Smith from 2016 until 2019, the outlet noted.</span></p>

<p>&#8220;So I went in and got scoped yesterday, and they told me that I reinjured my vocal cords and that I have vocal fold trauma,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Their advice is that I go on vocal rest for six weeks, so that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m going to do. They want me not to talk at all, but they said that if I need to it&#8217;s OK for something like this.&#8221;</p>
