Despite its claims to have dropped Morgan Wallen following his scandal in February, WME was still actively involved in booking his rescheduled shows this year, according to Deadline.
WME Chairman Lloyd Braun addressed the music team in a meeting after staffers noticed Wallen's shows in internal booking reports, announcing that the agency would be donating its Wallen commissions to charity and that WME is not booking any "new work" or representing the country star in any other capacity.
Wallen has dates at arenas in Alabama, Arkansas and Kentucky lined up for November and December.
