Morgan Wallen's Abrupt SNL Exit Was Planned (Source)

Morgan Wallen's quick exit during 'Saturday Night Live's closing credits was planned during rehearsal, according to an ET source. The country singer, who was the musical guest during Mikey Madison's hosting debut, went viral after abruptly walking off stage right as credits rolled, instead of hanging around with the cast as most guests typically do.

That was abrupt? Jesus Christ, i think ppl are being dramatic. He hugged the person and simply walked off stage. Some ppl aren't comfortable being in a big city like NY and just want to get home. Now everyone is attacking him for it. WTF

[youknowit.]

People need to look up the word abruptly

Thank goodness I saw this. I was wracked with insomnia about that whole catastrophe. Now that things have been clarified, I can rest easy! Thank you and Bless You!

For those who don't know, after the show is a ceremony where they greet each other. It happens every single show.

When you're trying to create controversy to get more views! Sad, just sad.

He went out to the audience and signed autographs.

The cast member usually that far back during sign off? Also no one minding that he left 😂.

Where was the abruptness to this? He spoke to his co-host, then casually walked off the stage. Mole hill is not the mountain this is being made into.

[johngutierrez]

must be a slow news week for this to be a headline, so he left seconds before .We'll see more to.come I'm sure

[scottedwards]

Anyone notice how the cast is so far back away from him? Usually the cast is standing with the host and musical guest. Read the body language. The others didn't want to be near him.

[faciasherman]

Don’t care! There is so much going on in the world people!

[TheRealBP]

This doesn't look like he stormed off stage. It literally looks like he thought show's over, I'm gonna head out. As for the post, I mean y'all never missed home? NYC is a big place and very overwhelming.

[LindsiPhoenixRising]

This is damage control. We aren’t THAT stupid to believe this was “planned” 😂

[charlieinslidell]

The real news is that SNL is still a thing.

[raquela]

Why is this being talked so much? What's the big deal with this?

[hootyhaha]

I guess you all don't know? 2020, he was dis-invited from performing on SNL ( After he had been set up to perform ) after video footage showed him partying at the University of Alabama during the COVID-19 pandemic. He has no respect for the show or producers. He went there to do a job, collect a paycheck, then leave. He doesn't know any cast member on that stage. He and his band rehearsed their music, their time, then he left. There was no reason to stick around and hug people you dont know or respect a show that did that to you ( him ).

[scottdavis]

He didn't throw a chair at least!!

[Greta-xq]

He has charges in TN and is supposed to go 2 years without drinking. I am sure it is hard to resist partying with the SNL crowd, so he might be reporting to someone he has hired to keep him in line while on tour and making public appearances.

[SticksAandstonesBozo]

So he doesnt need to play the game with people who are phony ? got it

[OhLookYouFoundCristalina]

Looks to me like he was just doing the gig he was able to get to promote his new music and then bounced back to where he enjoys being. Seems to me like Hollywood and its folk aren’t his thing .
