Morgan Wallen <\/a>once again let his instincts get the best of him at his recent Friday night, June 5, show in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. <\/p>\n

After last weekend\u2019s piano-flipping incident in Denver, the \u201cI\u2019m The Problem\u201d singer is once again receiving some flak for his impulsive decision to grab a phone out of a security guard\u2019s hand standing in front of the Acrisure Stadium stage. During the show\u2019s opening performance of \u201cDon\u2019t We,\u201d Wallen<\/a> snatched the phone from the female guard before flinging it across the stage and into the audience. <\/p>\n

With multiple points of view now posted online of the incident, fans have some mixed opinions over Wallen\u2019s reaction. According to a comment from user @J.croo419 on one now viral TikTok post, \u201cIt was actually my wife\u2019s phone that got tossed. She gave it to the security girl to hand up to Morgan Wallen to hopefully grab and take a selfie.\u201d<\/p>\n

In another video, actually posted by the same user, allegedly the husband, the security guard can be seen still facing forward to the crowd with her arms reaching up to video Wallen\u2019s performance. Wallen poses right in front of the phone\u2019s camera before walking away, turning around, and deciding to grab it out of the guard\u2019s grip. <\/p>\n

The Sneedville native certainly put his baseball-throwing arm to good use, launching it into the distance, which angered quite a few fans in the comment section who saw the interaction as an abrasive reaction. <\/p>\n

On the other hand, many others came to the defense of Wallen, noting that security guards are usually not allowed to record while on the job.<\/p>\n

With Wallen\u2019s Still The Problem tour almost halfway through, this sporadic decision certainly doesn\u2019t shine him in the brightest light; however, there\u2019s still some undeniable merit to the fact that Wallen didn\u2019t recognize the whole story in the moment and was upset at the guard disregarding job guidelines. In the end, at least the husband of the phone owner further clarified that, luckily, \u201cPhone was recovered with no damage.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for round two of his Pittsburgh weekend, tonight\u2019s June 6 show was unfortunately cancelled due to imminent weather. Wallen will return to the road once again in two weeks, on June 19 in Chicago, Illinois, with just ten shows left for his summer touring season. <\/p>\n
