Country singer Ryan Hurd backs his wife Maren Morris as her apparent feud with singer Jason Aldean’s wife Brittany Aldean continues.
Hurd publicly praised Morris for calling out Brittany Aldean’s alleged transphobic comments on social media last week.
It all started when the “You Make It Easy” singer’s wife thanked her parents for “not changing” her gender during her “tomboy phase” in an Instagram clip.
“Lmao!! I’m glad they didn’t either, because you and I wouldn’t work it out,” her husband commented in her comment section.
The caption raised many eyebrows on social media, including those of Morris and her husband.
“Scoring points quickly by bullying transgender people is not brave at all. And I’m proud of Maren for standing up for them,” said Hurd. tweeted.
“Deal of honor to allow CO to conduct a completely normal discourse. Shut up and sing only to those you disagree with.”
His tweet immediately caught the hatred of Aldean fans, who said Hurd and Morris’ careers are “ahead” for speaking out.
“Honestly, we’re pretty good here,” he said tweeted back. “Tours are good, we have a 2-year-old we love, we’re damn good, and I promise she won’t shut up now.”
Singer Aldean seemingly threw his support behind his wife by responding on Instagram with “MY Barbie.”
On Friday, country singer Cassadee Pope took to Twitter with a message to fans: tweet“You’d think beauty brand celebs would see the benefits of including LGBTQ+ people in their posts. But instead, here’s someone comparing their ‘tomboy phase’ to someone wanting to switch. Very nice.”
Morris then replied in agreement as she dug herself, tweet“It’s so easy to, like, not be an asshole person? Sell your clip-ins and zip them up, Insurrection Barbie.’
Brittany has since responded to the criticism, accusing Pope of “advocacy for child genital mutilation”, adding: “Some parents are so eager to be accepted by society that they are willing to make life-changing decisions for their children who do. are not old enough to fully understand the consequences of their actions.”
She also responded to Morris with, “Karen Morris. Thanks for calling me Barbie.”
