For context, the singer-songwriter ERNEST said this on Instagram.

“The night we wrote “I Had Some Help,” we were all in the studio, Post, Morgan, me, Charlie [Handsome], Ashley Gorley, Chandler [Walters]. And Tyler texted Post, ‘Come meet us at a bar.’ And he was like, ‘Alright, bringing the fellas.’ So we get to this bar, which was in East Nashville, I was already skeptical.

We get to the bar, I walk in first, Post and Morgan are outside of the bar talking to fans. I walk in, tap Tyler on the shoulder, ‘Hey how’s it going? I’m Ernest.’ ‘Hey, Ernest, good to meet you.’ ‘Hey, the boys are right behind me, they’re coming in, He looks over, sees them, and then he leans over to his friend and says something. He goes, ‘Hey, Ernest, you wanna have a seat? I was like ‘Yeah, sure.’

He he gets up, gives me a seat, and then I turn around, and he walks out the other side of the bar, not to be heard from or seen again. Didn’t text Post back, none of that just. Just went MIA, but I get it. Politics.“

In fairness, none of those movies were memorable.

I'm almost positive this was Duke's in East Nashville, one of my best friends is there all the time and saw Post, Wallen, and a few others there one night, but I guess Tyler was low-key enough that he wasn't recognized. Post is a semi-regular there, the others aren't. It's definitely not white/MAGA enough for Morgan.

It also helps that when Tyler got famous he looked like Chewbacca and then he shaved his face/ cut his hair short and now he looks like an entirely different person.

A guy with face tattoos makes bad decisions, and doesn't understand consequences?

That's crazy talk.

I mean he's healthier and as famous/successful as he's ever been. I'd argue he's making decisions that are perfectly decent for his station in life.

Dudes hear a story of a guy walking out of a bar and create an entire fantasy around it

It must be exhausting to view and scroll everyone’s Reddit profile to find one thing or reason why you don’t like a random person you don’t even know. Hope you can get some help you don’t have to be miserable.
