On May 21st, the Nashville Metro Council voted to reject Morgan Wallen's 20-foot external sign for his This Bar and Tennessee Kitchen, which is scheduled to open Memorial Day weekend. Three members voted in favour of the sign, 30 members voted against it and four council members abstained. Some members of the council said they rejected the sign because of the controversy surrounding Morgan. "I don't want to see a billboard up with the name of a person who's throwing chairs off of balconies and who is saying racial slurs," at-large council member Delishia Porterfield said, according to The Tennessean. "Mr. Wallen is a fellow East Tennessean. He gives all of us a bad name," District 14 council member Jordan Huffman said. "His comments are hateful. His actions are harmful."  They are referring to Morgan's use of a racial slur in January 2021 and his arrest for throwing a chair off the rooftop of a bar on April 7th. He was booked on three felony counts of reckless endangerment and one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct. Morgan will appear in a Nashville court in August.
