Chase Stokes Slams Morgan Evans as Pathetic

lashed out at  's former husband  in a scathing Instagram comment.

The actor, 33, called the musician, 40, 'pathetic' after the singer spoke about his divorce from Ballerini, 32, on Bobby Bones' The BobbyCast podcast this week.

'This is about the most pathetic excuse of masculinity ive ever seen. Get a f***ing life,' Stokes wrote in a since-deleted comment on Instagram. 

During the interview Evans said he was 'not expecting that conversation' when Ballerini told him she wanted a divorce in 2022.

'I definitely wasn't [expecting it], and it took me by surprise,' Evans told Bones, 45.

'But yeah, that whole time is such a blur. It almost feels like somebody else, just from where I'm sitting now. I just look back and I’m like, "Oh my God." … Yeah, it was just kind of a whirlwind, life-changing moment.' 

The Daily Mail has reached out to Evans for comment. 

Elsewhere, Evans argued that the narrative surrounding his divorce from Ballerini portrayed him unfairly.

'In my case, it didn't feel like it necessarily had a lot to do with me,' Evans said. 

'By the way Morgan Evans is like 6'2 and freaking strapped,' he added. 

Bones defended Evans for discussing his divorce, stating that it inspired the singer's third studio album Steel Town, which is set to come out on March 20.

'It was just, he's going to speak about [the divorce] once and never again, so we did that. I thought he came off really well. I thought he was very kind in his version of events. There's three stories, right? There's his story, her story and the real story.'

After her divorce from Evans - whom she wed in 2017 - Ballerini dated Stokes on and off for three years. 

In February, the couple split for a third time just one month after reconciling, according to Us Weekly, with a source stating that Stokes 'still [wasn't] ready to give up,' while Ballerini was 'done.'

Initially, it seemed that Ballerini and Stokes had weathered the storm of their breakup in September. After all, just three months after splitting, it was reported that they decided to revive their romance.

But things came crashing down 'around the New Year,' a source told the Daily Mail, as and their conflicting goals drove a wedge between them.

Meanwhile Evans is currently dating singer Laci Kaye Booth, 30. 

Evans previously alluded he was surprised by Ballerini's divorce request in his 2022 song Over for You.

'How long have you been waiting / To take our pictures down? / How long have you been breaking? Why am I just finding out?' he sang in the first verse.

In the chorus he goes on to sing: 'How many times did you say you loved me / When it wasn't true? / I'm just wondering / How long has it been over for you?'

Ballerini then responded with her own song, Blindsided (Yeah, Sure, Okay).

The song detailed her failed marriage, with lyrics like: 'I told you what I needed, didn't have to read my mind / So, were you blindsided or were you just blind?'

Ballerini continued with the poignant lyrics, 'Years of sitting across from me in therapy / I know the truth is hard to hear, but it wasn't hard to find / Baby, were you blindsided or were you just blind?'

The two began dating in 2016, and tied the knot one year later in 2017 during a romantic ceremony in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. However, in August 2022, the singers announced that they were divorcing after nearly five years of marriage.
