And his obsession with Meghan Markle.

Good. Piers Morgan is obsessed with her. And Alex called it right.

Charlotte and Suzanna let him get away with it all. They can't be serious journalists - just studio decoration! Imagine your work mate telling you to stand up and show off your legs - and you do it! geez. Morons flipping back decades.....

StoneofDestiny · 09/03/2021 15:44

Meghan was told about his reputation and advised to stay clear - obviously wise advice. Now he realises he saw the biggest story get away from him. He is one obsessed and angry man

Mrsjayy · 09/03/2021 15:47

Tbf to Charlotte she did say to him its just a dress several times. What else was she supposed to do/say on live TV Get to Fuck Piers?

But yes just blame the women for the manbullying !

Wannabangbang · 09/03/2021 15:50

I think the pair of them were and embarrassment but i thank them for my morning entertainment lol

Gadzookery · 09/03/2021 15:56

I think Piers Morgan is understandably keen on good ratings and therefore spouts off in a direction to annoy as many peeps as possible. Not even sure the walking off wasn't staged - it certainly got him more coverage.....I don't think he has a particular axe to grind - he just looks for the main chance. It's his job.

OverweightPidgeon · 09/03/2021 15:57

I honestly think PM needs psychiatric help , he has shown himself up , I’m embarrassed for him. And , it is not the job of the women to manage his behaviour, they were probably giving him enough rope to hang himself with.

Onedropbeat · 09/03/2021 15:59

Why in this day and age of cancel culture which I typical hate, hasn’t this vile human been removed from air and cancelled permanently?!

BigHandsomeBeast · 09/03/2021 16:00

100% staged, they had to be seen to show another view as he has been so, so vocal on the subject. The audience loved seeing him pretend to be taken down a leg or two, the papers will write about it and then back to business as usual tomorrow. He’s an expert at working the media, he knows exactly how this stuff works.

Onedropbeat · 09/03/2021 16:00

The snippet below that clip of him going on about the other female colleague wearing a skirt is just disgustingly embarrassing behaviour

It’s 2021, why didn’t someone remove him from set straight away? Why are these women putting up with him?!

Roussette · 09/03/2021 16:06

I don't think he has a particular axe to grind

If you think this, you need to go and look at his twitter feed.

Literally thousands of tweets about Meghan. I can't tell you exactly anything about them because he has blocked me.but I used to see them.
I'm blocked for politely questioning him on something.
He blocks everyone who doesn't agree with him.

Needless to say, he has a huge axe to grind.

PugInTheHouse · 09/03/2021 16:15

That clip where Alex called him out actually made me feel quite emotional. I agree with everything he said.

I cannot watch Piers at all anymore, he thinks he is so above every guest on there, he doesn't let any guest speak and if they start answering and aren't saying what he wants to hear he just cuts them off. I do not understand why he still has his job, how dare he say he doesn't believe MM felt suicidal. I feel Suzanna is getting to be like him more and more also, it's quite pathetic. It makes them both sound incredibly stupid TBH.

I saw a great post on FB today that said basically that it doesn't matter to Megham Markle if you share a post about her not feeling suicidal but it matters to your friend who did, or something along those lines.

Roussette · 09/03/2021 16:23

Oh yes, that is so true.

Not believing is so so damaging. Which is why MH charities have come out and said so.

Lampzade · 09/03/2021 16:23

So many have suggested that Piers is doing all this for ratings. If this is true then he is a very damaged , emotionally stunted individual.

Nith · 09/03/2021 16:24

I must say, I can't see why PM would go along with something which leaves Alex Beresford looking good and which leaves PM looking like a childish, petulant idiot.

Roussette · 09/03/2021 16:24

Yes.
And whether it's for the ratings or whether he really did flounce... it's dangerous territory.
He's being slated everywhere

islockdownoveryet · 09/03/2021 16:32

I personally think piers has far too much power on GMB he thinks he can say whatever he wants and goes too far quite often .
I don’t always agree with him , who does? But he does push for answers and makes some valid points sometimes but he goes too far .
I’m surprised if anyone will want to be interviewed by him soon.

This absolutely this.

One of my DC has recently bravely spoken about these difficult thoughts. I'm mortified that they will be aware of this dismissive reaction on mainstream TV. It's dangerous and irresponsible.

Why on earth PM would claim MM is lying about this I've no idea. It's appalling. But for me what is even worse is the damage that broadcasting such a dismissive view on mainstream TV could do to vulnerable people.

This is a tweet from John Cleese.
Go JOHN!

@PurpleHoodie

'Stand up: let's see the length of your skirt' ( I paraphrase).

No. Just no.

Agree this was hideous, for that alone he should be fired. I hope she puts in a complaint. I’d be mortified to work alongside him.
HmmmmmmInteresting · 09/03/2021 17:05

Even Beyonce's mum is dragging Piers on social media. This has gone global. But I think he's happy about this exposure. He's tweeted gloating that GMB had their highest ever viewing figures yesterday.

I watched clips online to see him get torn a new arsehole by Dr Shola and Trisha and I'm sure others did too. But the people that watch this toxic show daily are the ones giving him a platform.

User133847 · 09/03/2021 17:05

@Lampzade

I think Piers started off as the pantomime villain and Susannah his helpless , exasperated side kick. Now Piers is a bona fide bully and Susannah is a cowardly fence sitter .
What's the point in Susanna?
Roussette · 09/03/2021 17:06

Yes. I haven't watched it for years. I have found the clips online about Dr. Shola, Trisha and Alex. But I refuse to watch it or Lorraine

Be rest assured that most celebrities dislike Piers Morgan. He has used his platform to harass, gaslight and mock many of them for far too long.

Even Beyoncé’s mother( Tina Lawson) has tweeted about the incident with Alex today.

I have been saying for that one day Piers Morgan will go too far. His casual dismissal of mental health issues is the straw that broke the camel’s back for many
He needs to be sacked or ‘resign’

Roussette · 09/03/2021 17:08

But surely less and less people, whether it be politicians, or slebs will agree to interviews?
God knows who these people are watching such dross every morning.
I presume they're punching the air with a 'Yesssss' when he spouts his Meghan obsessive nonsense
