Hearts on Broadway (Book 2)

Chapter 15 - The Internet Reacts

Morgan Wallen sat in front of the camera, his face heavy with the weight of what he was about to say. The rumors had been swirling for weeks, and it was time to set the record straight. The last thing he wanted was to drag Georgie into the media mess, but he knew the only way to protect her—and their son, Jackson—was to take responsibility himself.

Taking a deep breath, he hit record and began to speak.

Morgan's Statement: "I know there's been a lot of talk, and I want to address it directly. First off, I want to say that yes, Georgie and I are going through a rough patch. I've seen the speculation, and I get that people are curious, but the truth is simple: this is on me."

He paused, his voice thick with emotion.

"I was the one who needed space. I was the one who stepped away. Georgie's been incredible through all of this. She's an amazing mother to Jackson, and she deserves nothing but respect and support. I want to make that clear—none of this is on her. It's me who needed the time to figure things out, and that's what we're doing right now."

He glanced down, his words heavy with regret.

"But through all of this, I ask that you respect our privacy, especially for the sake of our son, Jackson. He's the most important thing in both of our lives, and no matter what happens between us, we'll always be there for him. So, please, just keep that in mind."

The video hit the internet like a tidal wave, instantly sparking reactions across social media platforms. Within minutes, it had gone viral, with fans and the media dissecting every word Morgan had said. The conversation quickly divided into different camps—those who supported Morgan for taking responsibility, and those who blamed him for the separation.
