Husband Of Fan Who Had Phone Thrown By Morgan Wallen Says There Wasn’t Much Damage
Well, sounds like the phone didn’t sustain too much damage.
By now, everyone has heard the news and seen the viral video from Morgan Wallen’s show in Pittsburgh, where he chucked a fan’s phone across the stage. I could go on and on about phone etiquette at concerts, and I’m not exactly sure why a security guard was holding someone’s phone for them, but as you’ll see in the video below, Morgan Wallen wasn’t having it when he saw the phone being held up close to the stage by someone who was supposed to be keeping security.

According to on commenter, J. Croo, the phone was actually his wife’s, and she had given it to the security guard to take a video from the front of the stage:
“It was actually my wife’s phone that got tossed. She gave it to the security girl to hand up to Morgan Wallen to hopefully grab and take a selfie. Phone was recovered with no damage.”
Here’s another angle:

Obviously it’s not a great look for Morgan, but at the same time, I’m not sure why a security guard is taking videos of a concert and not, you know… maintaining security? These folks are hired to do a job, and that clearly isn’t it. So one the one hand, I fully understand the reaction from Morgan. I highly doubt he knew that was a concert-going fans phone who paid to be there… I’m sure he thought it belong to security. Now is there a better way to handle that regardless of who the phone belonged to? Absolutely, and had Morgan not had the immediate reaction to grab the phone and maybe asked someone to tell them to stop, I feel like we might not be having this discussion right now, but I digress…
But the husband of the woman, Amy, whose phone it was, is sharing more about what happened, as he posted his own video of the phone getting thrown by Morgan, saying that his wife had handed the phone to security to give it to Morgan, and even he admitted that “security should be doing security things,” adding that he got why that happened:
“Well that just happened… Amy gave her phone to the lady to hand to Morgan Wallen and he launched it. I get it… security should be doing security things, but….”

And he also shared an “edited” video of what happened once the phone was thrown, explaining that there was an over 9-minute video from the time it happened until another security guard went and found it and returned it to Amy.
“This is an edited video of the phone hitting the stage and then the security guy finding it and returning it to my wife. I say edited because it was videoing for over 9 minutes under the stage where it fell.”
Tons of commenters wanted to know more about what happened, and he said he might be able to convince his wife to share her side of the story, so we’ll see… but it sounds like they weren’t all that upset about what happened. Of course, if you’re willing to shell out the kind of money that I’m sure they did for such close seats, you’re probably a big fan, and it seems like they have some sort of understanding as to why that happened.
But since that video was posted, he has responded to a few comments, and he admitted that he was “pissed off at first,” and wanted to “jump on the stage.” Though, once they got the phone back, he says he and his wife calmed down, and overall, they were just glad it didn’t hit anyone and cause and injuries:
He also replied to another fan who commented about the security guards reaction, saying she was a “cool girl,” and he didn’t think they were actual “security people,” but were there more as “our customer experience people.” He says they were handing out waters to people and interacting with the fans all night. He also added that they hoped she didn’t lose her job over the incident, which is something I thought about too, and hopefully at some point we’ll get an update from her as well.
He also shared the “edited” version of the nearly 9-minute video, which recorded the entire thing until a different security guard went and found it, and luckily, no other fans got hit with it when it went flying, and it seems like it landed somewhere not too far from the stage and was able to be returned.

Since he shared the video from the phone, I figured there couldn’t have been too much damage considering the fact it was being used post-fling, and he replied to a comment over the weekend confirm that the only damage to the phone was a small crack. He didn’t disclose if it was to the actual phone itself, or just to a screen protector/the case:
“Just a little crack.”
Honestly, for as hard and far as it was thrown, I’m kind of surprised that was the extent of the damage, but she must’ve had a good case on it or something… Morgan hasn’t made any statements about the incident, and there haven’t been many other updates from anyone directly involved, like Amy or the security guard, but I won’t be surprised if we do eventually hear from one of them at some point:
Morgan still has 10 shows left on this tour, which will conclude in August in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at Lincoln Financial Field.
