Country star Gretchen Wilson was booted from a New Mexico hotel just hours after performing at a music festival — because other guests complained she was making too much noise, according to a new report.
The 46-year-old Grammy-Award winning artist was performing on Saturday at the Hadley Sports Complex, along with Ronnie Milsap, Jessie G and others, the lineup shows.
The trouble started when she left the stage and returned to her room at the Hotel Encanto de Las Cruces.
“Was a guest in Las Cruces, NM, yesterday and had a blast with the people there,” the star tweeted Sunday. “However, you should all band together to put Hotel Encanto out of business. Had to wait 2 hours for breakfast. Then they sent police to kick me out in the middle of the night for no reason. I complied. Home early.”
“I got off stage at 11:30 p.m.,” she added. “At 12:30 [a.m.], I was only talking in my room. The hotel informed me that QUIET HOURS started at 10 p.m. Wrong hotel for 3rd shifters.”
“I know who I am. And I know my truth,” the singer said in a third tweet. “And so does God. God bless all of you!”
In a recording of the 911 call, obtained by The Las Cruces Sun News, a hotel employee told dispatchers that multiple people made noise complaints against the singer.
“We went up there multiple times the last half hour,” the employee said. “So, I went up there and she said she was a celebrity but I forgot to get her name. Gretchen something, she participated in the country music festival and her words were, ‘I paid for the room, I could care less what people think.’ We had her escorted off [the] property.”
The employee added that Wilson was being “super loud” and that “her level of talking is like our yelling.”
Wilson was kicked out just after 3 a.m. Sunday, Dan Trujillo, spokesman for the Las Cruces Police Department, told the outlet.
“There were several noise complaints for a room,” Trujillo said. “I’m not sure who was listed in the room but Ms. Wilson was in the room. We helped security remove the guest because they had worn out their welcome.”
Wilson and her team left voluntarily, Trujillo added.
“[Police] were going to issue a trespass card but the occupants agreed to leave,” he said. “[Police] stood by as they packed up.”
Wilson’s management, the hotel and festival organizers all did not respond to requests for comment from the Sun News.
Wilson’s hit songs include “Redneck Woman” and “Here for the Party” — which appropriately includes the lyrics “I ain’t leaving ‘til they throw me out.”
She’s no stranger to police — last year she was busted at Hartford, Connecticut’s Bradley International Airport for allegedly pitching a fit over another passenger using the plane’s bathroom.
A misdemeanor breach of peace charge was dropped against her after she agreed to donate $500 to a fund for injured crime victims.
