Morgan Wallen's Ex KT Smith Breaks Silence on Country Singer's Chair-Throwing Arrest After Her Nuptials
Katie "KT" Smith wished her ex the "best" and said she does not believe her marriage announcement and his arrest are correlated.
Morgan Wallen's ex, Katie "KT" Smith, broke her silence on the country singer's arrest in downtown Nashville on the heels of her marriage to husband Luke Scornavacco, revealing she does not think her wedded bliss and his legal woes are linked.
"Although it may seem like it correlates because of the timeline. I have no evidence to believe the incident had anything to do with the recent marriage announcement," Smith shared in a statement, RadarOnline.com has learned.

As we previously reported, Wallen, 30, was booked and charged with three felony counts of reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct late Sunday after allegedly throwing a chair from six stories high.
Metro Nashville police officers were standing outside fellow musician Eric Church's Chief's Bar when the chair hit the ground close to where they were positioned, cops confirmed.
After being cuffed, Wallen cooperated with authorities and was released from Davidson County jail around 3:30 AM the next morning.

Smith and Wallen dated from 2017 to 2019 and later welcomed son Indigo in July 2020, who they are co-parenting in the wake of their split.
KT told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that she does not believe her wedding had anything to do with his recent run-in with the law.
