Country star Morgan Wallen's sister is speaking out in his defense after he was condemned online and dropped by his record label and other major organizations over a video showing him using a racial slur, for which he apologized.

In a statement posted on Instagram on Friday, Feb. 5, Ashlyne Wallen, 26, also slammed the general concept of "cancel culture" and called for people to forgive her brother. Morgan, 27, has not commented on her remarks.
