HARDY has faced plenty of speculation this year over his marriage and mental health. He’s also thrown shade at bonafide superstars like Texas-born rodeo girl Beyonce for entering the country music ring.

But now, HARDY is getting slammed for the other shocking things he’s allegedly done. It all started with an “unverified tea” thread on the Celeb Wives of Nashville. The OP posted a screenshot of a viral TikTok video by a young woman named Shelby, who was responding to a social media trend to reveal “a time when a celebrity was rude to you.”
That got the Celeb Wives talking. Some users on the Reddit forum alleged that HARDY had treated real people, like Uber drivers, badly. These accusations are shocking, but let’s start with Shelby’s rude celebrity encounter.
There is one disclaimer on this video trend that you need to know. The name of the allegedly rude celebrity isn’t revealed.
Still, over 1,600 people commented, and many wanted to know if the rude celebrity was HARDY. If that’s not bad enough, HARDY might not want to read what many other people had to say about him.
Shelby Did Not Directly Name HARDY
The truth is many people didn’t even know who HARDY was. Some also dissed HARDY because they think he’s not really Country. Considering how he’s thrown shade at Beyonce’s massive Country-Western success, this would bug HARDY.
Shelby’s experience with this “rude celebrity” seems to have left its mark. She gets emotional as she recalls what happened.

Shelby begins by revealing her rude celebrity encounter “might really hurt true Country fans.” Although she never named names, Shelby got super specific with the burning hot tea she spilled. If this rude celebrity is HARDY, you won’t believe what happened.
Shelby was with her friends at a Country concert in “Lexington,” but she didn’t reveal which state. Several towns and cities nationwide are called Lexington, but Lexington, Kentucky, is the largest and best-known.
She dropped a few hints in the video, like how this rude celebrity “was opening up for someone” and that “it was a really good show.” Shelby confessed, “We loved it.”
Shelby Enjoyed HARDY’s Performance
After the concert, she said she went to a local bar with her friends. Other friends of Shelby’s work at the bar, and the employees allowed Shelby’s group to stay on “a little bit after closing.” She saw another “big group of people coming in.”
Shelby figured it was a group of around “15-20 people,” and this small crowd was “gathering around this one person.” Shelby even noticed other “people following around outside,” but anyone who wasn’t directly with that “one person” wasn’t allowed to enter the bar.
She watched this small crowd with interest. Shelby thought, “I wonder if that’s the guy” she saw in concert opening up for a bigger Country superstar.
Even after this celebrity was rude to her, Shelby didn’t sound like she was throwing shade. But, she did admit another clue about him. She said, “He’s not like crazy big.”
Then, she admitted, “But he’s really, really good.” Shelby seriously believed that people watching should “know who he is.”
That night, Shelby wanted to know if the guy was, in fact, the opening act she’d seen. So, she approached the group.
She said, “I just walked by them,” and she was going to ask one of their “friends” if it was him. Shelby admitted that if it was, she just wanted to say that he “did really, really great tonight.” But shockingly, she didn’t get the chance.
HARDY and His Friends Ruined Shelby’s Night
Shelby accused the “friend” of losing his mind and telling her rudely, “You need to get away from us right now.” Then, “the actual guy” got involved, and what allegedly happened next was crazy.
According to Shelby, the guy “made a scene about it too.” He rudely told her, “We don’t need to answer your questions,” when all she wanted to do was compliment him on doing a “good job” at the concert that night.
Again, we don’t even know if this is the real truth about HARDY. Still, Shelby revealed that the rude celebrity and his friends ruined her night.

Shelby also dropped a bombshell about this rude celebrity’s personal life. This part of the story happened when she was leaving the bar with her friends. She was shocked at what she saw “out in front.”
The other group left before Shelby and her friends, and that’s when she claims she noticed something suspicious about the rude celebrity. Allegedly, he “had his arms around” someone. Shelby even looked him up afterward to make sure he was married because she was “almost positive” that the person with him was “not his wife.”
Shelby provided a dramatic example of a rude celebrity encounter. But remember, she didn’t name HARDY directly or accuse him of this extreme rudeness and maybe even cheating.
More People Have Exposed HARDY’s Behavior
Now, back to the Celeb Wives of Nashville “unverified tea” thread because they didn’t hold back on HARDY’s allegedly terrible behavior. One user explained that their husband was HARDY’s “Uber driver a few years back” before HARDY “hit it really big.”
The husband “has a slight speech impediment,” and if you’re not already cringing at where this story is going, you’ll be shocked by the alleged cruelty. The user accused HARDY and his friend of mocking the husband’s speech impediment simply because the Uber driver “didn’t know” who HARDY was.
It’s heartbreaking to read the user’s confession that their husband “is the sweetest person.” What HARDY allegedly did “upset” him and left a mark. The user even claimed their husband was “sweet enough to make an excuse” for HARDY’s alleged behavior.
They wrote that their husband could tell HARDY had been drinking. The driver tried to write off the alleged cruelty because, maybe, HARDY had had too much to drink to realize what he was doing.
Maybe that’s true, but the user also wrote what HARDY did to their husband when he left the Uber. They alleged that HARDY told their husband his “tip” would be looking HARDY “up on the highway.” If this is the real truth, it’s pretty close to unforgivable.
HARDY Has a History of Being Unfriendly
There was some back-and-forth on this thread. A couple of people claimed that HARDY was “super thoughtful,” “really down to earth,” and gracious when they met him after his concerts. Maybe HARDY was too intoxicated in that Uber, enough for him to lose his manners and act like a complete jerk.
Unfortunately, another user had an opinion, although they admitted they’d never “personally” met HARDY. This user claims they’ve heard “3 stories from 3 totally different people,” and HARDY has acted “unfriendly and rude” each time.
Another person accused HARDY of being “rude” and “snobby.” This commenter claimed to have inside information dating back to 2019.
They wrote that they “met HARDY at a benefit concert” at their “local radio station,” and added that they’d “asked him for a guitar pick” when a group photo was being taken. Allegedly, HARDY said they had “to come to a show” to get one of his guitar picks. After this rude encounter, the user was “no longer a fan for quite a while now.”
HARDY Is Unfazed by the Hate
This past April, 97.3 The Eagle published an article about HARDY. Depending on who you believe or how forgiving you are, this article may give you a new perspective on HARDY or at least make you think karma is real!
The title of The Eagle’s article was: “Hardy Takes on Mean DMs: Country Star Reads Harsh Messages in Candid Video.” That’s right, HARDY decided to do a low-tech version of the popular “Mean Tweets” sketches on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The Eagle wrote that HARDY selected a DM and read it out loud. You’ll either feel sorry for HARDY or think the guy had it coming when you hear this message.
In the DM, one harsh person told HARDY he was “fat” and “ugly.” Then, their negativity turned to HARDY’s music. They wrote that HARDY’s song ‘Truck Bed’ “might be the worst song I’ve ever heard in my entire life.”
So, how did HARDY handle this major chunk of shade? According to The Eagle, HARDY took the comment “in stride.” Maybe he got a taste of his own medicine if all these shocking allegations about HARDY are the real truth.
