💥 Nearly 20 Years Later, Wig Wam’s Glam Issues Tearful Apology to Julia Morris Over Eurovision Groping Incident Fans Thought Was Buried

Nearly two decades after one of Eurovision’s most uncomfortable backstage moments, it has come back to haunt the man at the center of the storm.

Norwegian rocker Glam, frontman of glam-metal band Wig Wam, has finally broken his silence over a long-buried controversy involving Australian comedian Julia Morris during the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest. And his admission? Nothing short of explosive.

“I was blind drunk,” Glam confessed in a statement that’s sent shockwaves through both Eurovision fan circles and the wider entertainment industry.

“There’s no excuse for what happened. I was completely out of line.”

The apology refers to a now-infamous incident that occurred behind the scenes during the Eurovision festivities in Kyiv, Ukraine, when Wig Wam were representing Norway with their hit “In My Dreams.”

According to multiple witnesses and now confirmed by both parties, Glam allegedly groped Julia Morris during an interaction that was captured on backstage cameras but never officially aired.

At the time, Morris—who was hosting Australia’s Eurovision coverage—spoke about the encounter cryptically in interviews, referring to “an overly handsy rocker” who “didn’t understand personal space.” She never named Glam outright, but fans connected the dots quickly.

Still, with no official statement from the musician and the chaotic nature of Eurovision backstage culture, the story faded into the haze of scandalous Eurovision folklore.

Until now.

Glam’s apology, posted on his official social media channels, was raw and unfiltered.

“I barely remember the night,” he wrote, “but I’ve carried shame about it for years. Julia didn’t deserve that. No one does.”

For her part, Julia Morris has responded with grace, stating that she appreciates the long-overdue acknowledgment.

“It was a weird night and an even weirder time,” she said in a statement to the Australian press. “I’ve moved on. But I’m glad he finally owned it.”

The scandal re-emerged following renewed interest in Eurovision’s dark history, sparked by a viral TikTok series titled “Eurovision: The Backstage Truths They Never Told Us.”

One episode featured a clip that hinted at the 2005 incident, reigniting speculation online. Within days, Reddit threads were buzzing, and #Eurovision2005 began trending on X (formerly Twitter). The pressure mounted for Glam to address the rumors—and this time, he didn’t shy away.

Fans have had mixed reactions. Some applauded Glam for finally speaking up. “It takes guts to own up to something like that, even 19 years later,” one fan tweeted.

Others, however, feel the apology is far too late. “He’s only sorry now because it resurfaced. That’s not remorse, that’s damage control,” wrote another.

The Eurovision community, known for its inclusivity and celebration of diversity, has also weighed in. Organizers released a brief statement emphasizing the importance of safe spaces for artists, press, and fans alike.

“While we cannot undo past events, we continue to strengthen our backstage policies and behavior codes to ensure Eurovision remains a celebration of unity, not discomfort.”

This moment has also prompted broader conversations about the treatment of women in entertainment spaces that are often chaotic, male-dominated, and alcohol-fueled.

Julia Morris, a seasoned performer and one of Australia’s most beloved comedians, admitted that “it wasn’t the first time something like that happened—and sadly, it wasn’t the last.”

Glam’s confession serves as a reminder that even in the haze of rock stardom, personal responsibility doesn’t disappear.

His band, Wig Wam, enjoyed a recent resurgence thanks to their music being featured in the popular TV series Peacemaker. This comeback brought them renewed fame—and perhaps, for Glam, a guilty conscience.

Whether his apology is the start of a more honest era for Eurovision alumni or just another PR bandage remains to be seen.

But one thing is certain: in 2025, a moment from 2005 has returned with a vengeance—and the world is listening.

As the dust settles, fans are left to reflect not just on the music, but on the messy, very human moments behind the curtain.

Because in the glitter-soaked chaos of Eurovision, not every story ends on a high note. And sometimes, it takes nearly 20 years to finally hear the truth.
