Piers Morgan - why his virulent hatred for Meghan Markle?

115 replies

Aridane · 13/01/2020 21:30

Not a Harry & Meghan thread as such but a genuine question as to why Piers Morgan is so offensively outspoken about Meghan Markle?

I won't do an extensive c&p exercise but some links below are indicative of Piers Morgan's general style.

Is this Piers Morgan's general persona or is this reserved for Meghan Markle?

PS. I only know of Piers Morgan as Britain's Got Talent and decades ago as editor of the Daily Mirror

We're moving it to chat now. Flowers

I think it was because they were friends and then she dropped him as soon as she met Prince Harry.

PeytonManning · 13/01/2020 21:37

I cannot stand that disgusting pig but I love you’ve posted this in the low carb section! 😂

Quartz2208 · 13/01/2020 21:37

she ghosted him.

OverByYer · 13/01/2020 21:38

I keep reading that she ghosted him but have no idea what that means

HighNetGirth · 13/01/2020 21:40

He says they were friends. We don’t know what she says.

Feminazgul · 13/01/2020 21:40

Misogyny with a side order of epic male entitlement.

itsgettingweird · 13/01/2020 21:42

They went for one drink in a pub one evening.

He spent weeks and weeks name dropping about it (as he does!)

Then they never had contact.

I think it's an ego thing. He's such a giant one it can't be difficult to burst.

Plus he tends to just like to have a POV on something and yell at everyone who disagrees and when he asks them why yell at them they are wrong 3 words into their answer.

I can never work out if I love or hate the man! When Grenfell happened you see a side of him that's so lovely and genuine. Then 5 minutes later he's a prize dick again 🤷‍♀️

He is like the kid at school who everyone hated - now all grown up and getting his revenge - he’s a cunt.

Fallsballs · 13/01/2020 21:48

I meant to say I remember him from waaay back, he used to write for the entertainment section of a low rag. Anyone who said he was a cunt got annihilated in his column. Basically agree with him and pretend to be his mate or he’ll fuck you over.

BiarritzCrackers · 13/01/2020 21:54

I guess he saw this as a budding friendship, whereas she saw it more as a networking type thing while trying to build her profile in the UK (pre-Harry). Then he was outraged that she ceased to stay in touch with him - given that he's a former tabloid editor and she was newly dating a prince, that seemed a pretty sensible thing to do, whatever you feel about her. And now the Mirror under his editorship is being sued by Harry for phone hacking.

Mummy195 · 13/01/2020 22:01

Gosh, he was unhinged about her this morning on GMB.

PM has a video on the internet where admits it himself. He had been in contact with the cast of Suits including MM (I think they are obliged in contract to speak to journalists and form some kind of relationship to promote Suits). He spoke to her via email a couple of times, then they set up a meet in a London pub. They met that once, and she never contacted him again or return any communication. He later found out that the same day she went to meet Harry.

What is obvious is that when H asked about her day and she mentioned her meet with PM, H must have told her how toxic he is and to stay away and she abided.

AllTheWhoresOfMalta · 13/01/2020 22:06

I assume because she didn’t suck him off after that one drink. Dire man.

Fallsballs · 13/01/2020 22:07

He’s acting like a sore loser alright.

georgialondon · 13/01/2020 22:13

He was friends with her. Before she became HRH. So he knows her. He says she's mercenary.

Aridane · 13/01/2020 22:15

Yes, @Mummy195 - 'unhinges' describes it well

MsPepperPotts · 13/01/2020 22:18

He says he went out with her for a drink...very much doubt that given that he's a complete slime ball.

For some reason(and only Pie-arse can verify this) he thought he should have been one of Harry's groomsmen at the wedding because he liked a tweet...though this could be totally made up crap...

Pie-arse may be able to shed some light on the real story
Anyway he didn't get an invite and blamed Meghan and that's how it all started really

I have to give him credit though for being a very very consistent smarmy slime ball twtty arsh*le

TheWitchwithNoName · 13/01/2020 22:20

She dropped him or was told to drop him...?

StarbucksSmarterSister · 13/01/2020 22:20

He fancied her. She went for a drink with him. Once. She had no further interest.

To misquote Congreve:
"hell hath no fury like a man too fat and old for a hot babe he fancies"

wowfudge · 13/01/2020 22:22

So what's Eamonn Holmes' excuse?

TerribleCustomerCervix · 13/01/2020 22:25

She mugged him off.

He obviously had a very low opinion of her and thought he could use or manipulate her.

Whatever you say about MM, she’s a very intelligent woman who clearly saw some massive red flags when it came to Morgan.

Foxyloxy1plus1 · 13/01/2020 22:26

PM has feuds with lots of people he feels have wronged him. Lord Sugar is one such, but he has the advantage of being able to engage in ‘debate’. Of course that won’t happen with the duchess.

PM is an arrogant, entitled, rude, obnoxious and deeply unpleasant individual.
