Man Arrested at Morgan Wallen Concert After Making ‘Terroristic Threat’

Man Arrested at Morgan Wallen Concert After Making ‘Terroristic Threat’

A man was arrested at Morgan Wallen’s Kansas City concert on Friday at Arrowhead Stadium after making a “terroristic threat” to shoot “two individuals who were members of the Kansas City Chiefs organization.” Chiefs players Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes both attended the show and were seen walking out of the dressing room with Wallen. The incident delayed the concert by more than 40 minutes.

The Jackson County, Missouri, Prosecutor’s Office announced on Saturday, Aug. 3, that the man, Aaron Brown, has been charged with the Class E felony of making a terroristic threat in the second degree. Authorities first discovered the threat on social media.


“An Illinois man has been charged with a felony after he threatened on social media to shoot two individuals at a concert Friday night at Arrowhead in Kansas City, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced today,” the statement read. “The defendant confirmed to police where he was located at Arrowhead. The concert was delayed for 40 minutes while the defendant was located.”

The statement continued: “The defendant was charged earlier today and a $15,000 bond was set. Prosecutors requested a $250,000 cash bond.”

Wallen walked out of his dressing room alongside Kelce and Mahomes wearing a bespoke Chiefs jersey with the number seven on the front — after his high school baseball team number. The same number is also worn by Chiefs player Harrison Butker — who recently came under fire over misogynist comments made during his commencement speech at Benedictine College.

In a clip posted by a fan account on Instagram of the entrance, Wallen walked through a door backstage, followed by Kelce and then Mahomes as he excitedly shook their hands. The two players were later seen dancing and singing along to the concert from the stands.

Pierre Lapointe, Grand duke of broken souls

Many years ago, while studying theatrical performance at Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe, Pierre Lapointe was given a peculiar exercise by his teacher. The students were asked to walk from one end of the classroom to the other while observing their peers. Based solely on their gait, posture, and gaze, they had to assign each other certain qualities, a character, or even a profession.

Lapointe remembers being told that there was something princely about him. That was not exactly the term that this young, queer student, freshly emancipated from the Outaouais region and marked by a childhood tinged with near-chronic sadness, would have instinctively chosen for himself. Though he had been unaware of his own regal qualities, he has spent more than 20 years trying to shed this image, one he admits he may have subtly cultivated in his early days.

On «Abracadabra», Klô Pelgag proves she still has the magic

Anyone who has seen Klô Pelgag on stage can attest to her untamable energy, punk spirit, and refreshing spontaneity. "I really enjoy sweating and being out of breath," she says. "Feeling a little drained after a show is the best." The artist, who I met with on a rainy day, is the polar opposite of her onstage persona: today, she’s gentle, thoughtful, and introverted. Her soft, calm voice contrasts with the loud bustle of the crowded restaurant where we’re seated.

These different facets of Chloé Pelletier-Gagnon coexist harmoniously within her. After all, we are all made of paradoxes and multitudes. "Sometimes, I feel more like myself on stage than when I bump into someone I vaguely know at the grocery store and engage in small talk. That’s when I struggle!" she says, laughing.

Marketer Behind Fake Quotes in ‘Megalopolis’ Trailer Dropped by Lionsgate

Eddie Egan, a very real marketing consultant, lost his gig with Lionsgate this week after the studio discovered that quotes he used in a trailer for Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis were fabricated, according to Variety.

The conceit behind the teaser, which Lionsgate recalled on Wednesday, was that critics had trashed Coppola’s masterpieces throughout the decades, so why trust them? Except that the critics quoted didn’t actually write any of the pith. A quote attributed to Pauline Kael that was said to have run in The New Yorker, claiming The Godfather was “diminished by its artsiness,” never ran.
