Maren Morris and her 4-year-old son Hayes received death threats after they accused Morgan Wallen of using a racial slur

Maren Morris claimed she and her 4-year-old son, Hayes, were sent death threats after she criticized country singer Morgan Wallen over his use of the N-word in 2021.

“I mean, the death threat part for me as a young mother, yes, obviously, was scary,” the “Middle” singer, 34, said on Thursday’s episode of Sophia Bush’s “Work in Progress” podcast.

“And it wasn’t just death threats against me. It was also against my son. So it was like, ‘Oh, wow. Now we’re involving the kids that you cared so much about.'”

Morris — who came out as bisexual in June — shares Hayes with her ex-husband Ryan Hurd. The couple finalized their divorce in January.

In February 2021, Wallen was caught using a racial slur on a video recorded during a night out with friends in Nashville.

“Take care of this motherfucker,” the “Whiskey Glasses” singer, 31, told some friends as he headed home.

He later admitted he was “ashamed” of his actions.

“There is no excuse for using this type of language. I want to sincerely apologize for using the word. I promise to do better,” Wallen said in a statement at the time.

Morris, 34, is one of many stars who criticized the “Thinkin Bout Me” singer for his behavior.

“This truly represents our city as this isn’t their first ‘feud’ and they just smashed a huge streaming record last month,” he wrote at the time via X, formerly known as Twitter.

“We all know this wasn’t the first time he used that word. We keep them rich and safe at all costs and offer no recourse.”

Representatives for Wallen did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment regarding Morris’ latest statement about the situation.

The “Bones” singer also said on the “Work in Progress” podcast that she still wonders how people could be so offended by her comments.

“I think it’s because not only are they defending the person who said it, but they’re taking it personally as if I’m criticizing them,” she reflected, “which I think, you know, says more about their interpretation of the criticism and the content of that criticism than it does about me as a person.”

Morris then insisted, “I don’t regret it, I don’t apologise.”

“I feel the exact same way I did that day,” she added. “Don’t be racist. Don’t be transphobic. Don’t be homophobic.”

Morris has been an outspoken ally-member of the LGBTQ+ community, despite facing strong backlash from many country fans who are widely considered conservative fans.

In 2022, the “Girl” singer infamously slammed Jason Aldean’s wife, Brittany Aldean, after the latter thanked her parents for letting her stay in her tomboy phase “without changing.” [her] gender.”

Morris then shared misinformation about “child genital mutilation.”

“Is it that easy to not be a badass human being? Sell your clip-ins and shut up, Insurrection Barbie,” she wrote via ex following Britney’s comments.

Both stars have since reiterated their stance.

Morris’ tensions with people within the country community eventually led him to leave the genre in September 2023 because he felt it was “burning itself out.”

“If you really like this kind of music and you start to find problems with it, then it should be criticized. Anything popular like this should be scrutinized if we want to see progress,” she previously told the Los Angeles Times. “But I’ve said everything I can.”

However, two months later Morris clarified that she was not giving up the genre and said headlines surrounding her comments were “exaggerated”.

“You can’t kill country music,” he said during an appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s show.
