AIBU?

to think that what Piers Morgan is doing on twitter to Meghan is harassment / stalking and he should be reported?

Fellow twitter users - I don't follow Piers Morgan on twitter but I've seen a lot of his tweets about Harry and particularly Meghan retweeted by others. I can't believe the vitriol he has for her. I've reported many of them to twitter as "targeted harassment" (one of the twitter report categories) but of course twitter has done nothing.
Surely his abusive behaviour is something that no woman should have to put up with? (but of course Meghan's hands are tied - she can't say or do anything). Why don't the police have a word? (because if someone was running that sort of campaign against me, I would be asking them to). Or at least twitter do something about him - shut him down for a couple of weeks maybe?

He is obsessed about her. God knows who he will pick on when they go. Still he will claim public interest

Yanbu. I’m not a MM fan but he’s horrible and needs to leave her alone.

Unfortunately she's a public figure, which means it's open season on her, and anyone else who classifies as a public figure (including Piers Poster Boy For White Male Privilege Morgan). The best you can do is ignore.

Piers is bitter because he thought he and Meghan were friends and she used to send him copies of Suits episodes before they were released in the UK. Then she got with Harry and dropped him, probably because he is a journalist and he can't help bigging himself up about his celebrity contacts (look at how he goes on about knowing Trump). He can't get over being dumped so is taking it out on her with his vitriol.

Possibly Meghan dropped hi because of his associations with the likes of Trump. It's well documented that she despises Trump.

He is a full blown megalomaniac, obsessed with his ‘contacts’ and this is all driven by his fury that the ‘in’ he thought he had to a circle he was barred from didn’t come off. He won’t stop even if cautioned etc.

Ironically, I suspect that Harry might had asked her to cut Piers Morgan out - it’s well known that he hates the red tops and Piers was in charge during the Diana years.

Twitter is notorious for allowing all kinds of vile hatred and not doing anything about it--I agree with you but they won't remove it so i would block him.

I haven't seen it but recently I have wondered if he engineered this whole thing.

He is a powerful narcissist with all the media connections to ruin her life. I bet he is at least 50% capable for what's going on. He is frightening

I agree he needs to stop. It's not his business. The press have covered the story enough now anyway.

But if she was famous in some way other than being a member of the royal family, she would be free to try and get some kind of restraining order on him, surely?
He's a public figure too and that should mean that he should be accountable for what he says and does.
As an aside, I am flabbergasted that GMTV, which is supposed to be a family show, haven't tried to distance themselves from his arsehole opinions. I know there are other people who make a living out of being arseholes (eg Jeremy Clarkson - but his whole show is based on that premise). GMTV is something that is beams into half the kitchens around the country in the morning - Piers' presence certainly puts me off the brand.

I don't use twitter but see it on Instagram. I also agree. I don't mind piers but I don't think his constant attacks are ok. It's went too far.

He’s a nasty piece of work and as far as I am concerned he is instigating hatred against this woman. It is actually quite scary
I think it is a sensible move for the Sussexes to go to Canada. I would hate that Meghan’s life may have been attacked by some idiot who has been spurred on by these hateful tweets.
He will probably accuse her of contributing to the death of Prince Philip when the old man eventually passes.
Piers Morgan needs to be stopped

A part of me wonders if he does this in collaboration with his ‘target’ to whip up public comment and sympathy - like a pantomime villain?

Yep. He's already made snide remarks inferring as much.

I wish he'd move off from GMTV...I can just about tolerate him on life stories.

Harry has spoken from the heart, but Piers still insists Meghan is behind it. Shame on him.

Piers Morgan is named in many tabloid phone hacking cases which are still being dealt with in the chancery court. And who says his phone was hacked? Prince Harry.

No conflict of interest for Piers in rubbishing Harry’s wife (and by association, Harry), I’m sure! Nope, none at all. Hmm

Over at the Mirror Group, there is a similar shyness about allowing daylight into the activities of past executives. Former Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan, one of the most vehement critics of the royal couple, does not find time or space to let his readers or viewers know that his name crops up very many times in the generic phone-hacking litigation particulars of claims in front of Mann. Morgan may be entirely innocent, but if you spend your time pouring venom over a claimant in a case that might touch on your own conduct, you’d think there was at least an interest to declare – every single time you do it.

I’ve never liked Piers Morgan anyway but his obsession with MM is actually disturbing now. I like to think her lawyers are calmly screenshotting everything to use as evidence against him at a later date. He’s a fucking psycho.

There’s a very good Guardian article from the weekend that outlines quite why Morgan is so intent on publicly raging against MM and PH.
