So Piers Morgan has huffed off.

OP posts:
Fuckadoodledoooo · 09/03/2021 09:12

Well, it it was real and not heavily scripted and orchestrated. I don't believe anything I see/read.

CheesyChipsOnWembleyWay · 09/03/2021 09:15

Staged for ratings. Someone like Piers definitely subscribed to the theory no publicity is bad publicity.

SandyY2K · 09/03/2021 09:15

I wonder if it’s ever crossed Pier's mind that MM was instructed not to communicate with him.

His hatred of her is unbelievable. If my DH was so obsessed with another woman like that, I'd be so embarrassed.

Yes. For sure.

It's all so fucking pathetic.

I'm not a fan of the world.

KarensChoppyBob · 09/03/2021 09:17

Probably fucked his TV career though.

I disagree. Judging by what I've read on SM so far this morning I think Piers has.

Sparklingbrook · 09/03/2021 09:17

Well he's certainly got everyone riled up. Job done!

CyberdyneSystems · 09/03/2021 09:19

I tend not to watch GMB anymore because I can't stand PM

He hardly ever seems to stop talking and never seems to allow S. Reid to talk. She just sits there patiently waiting to try and get a couple of words in

He's a jumped up little prick who loves the sound of his own voice

User26272829 · 09/03/2021 09:20

I don’t think it was staged. Alex comes across as a guy with principles and has often called out racist incidents live on air. Can’t imagine that he’d want to drag himself down to Morgan’s level.

Willgetbetter · 09/03/2021 09:20

Refuse to watch anymore. Why give bullies airtime?

Why is it acceptable for him to bully MM this far?

KarensChoppyBob · 09/03/2021 09:21

Started to follow Alex on Twatter and his numbers of followers are certainly shooting up.

I think he's brilliant and brave.

I think it was. Nobody seemed that fussed when he walked off, nobody asked him to come back. He walked off, then came back, that was it.
DontFuckItUp · 09/03/2021 09:22

I reckon he tried it on and she knocked him back Grin

KarensChoppyBob · 09/03/2021 09:24

Nothing like a dented male ego Wink.

User26272829 · 09/03/2021 09:24

The walking off was all about Piers and his fragile ego. He had to come back to interview the Father of the year, so he had no choice.

Thedogscollar · 09/03/2021 09:25

Piers Morgan sacked for publishing faked pictures of the British Army abusing Iraqi prisoners.

Piers Morgan also heavily involved in the phone hacking scandal.

Re Meghan he is like a spurned boyfriend who has evolved into a professional troll.

Awful individual.

DodoApplet · 09/03/2021 09:26

Unfortunately, the mere existence of this thread tells Morgan's employers everything they need to know about his ability to pull in viewers, which in turn impacts directly on the prices they're able to charge for the commercials that are aired during the breaks. If people don't like him - and I freely admit that I can't stand him - they have merely to stop watching the show. If enough people did just that, he'd disappear as quickly as if he'd been vaporised.

MamaMeAh · 09/03/2021 09:26

PM doesn't challenge people, he attacks them.
Him walking off was pathetic, he is supposed to be a professional
Deal with it
I would never entertain someone like him in real life, yet here he is spouting his bile on on prime television
He occasionally makes some interesting points but his attitude detracts from them completely

Sparklingbrook · 09/03/2021 09:27

@DontFuckItUp

I did wonder but he married Celia Walden in 2010 and met Meghan in 2016 if my Googling is correct. He's still married to CW so presumably she'd be a bit WTF about that possibility?
Thedogscollar · 09/03/2021 09:27

Might start a petition let's replace Piers with Alex.

Reinventinganna · 09/03/2021 09:27

Morgan is a bully and Alex stood up for women everywhere by calling him out on his unhealthy obsession.

Sparklingbrook · 09/03/2021 09:28

Isn't he a weatherman?

I don’t know why she’s still there. Imagine being belittled by him day after day. How embarrassing. He constantly talks over her.
Loudhouse · 09/03/2021 09:29

Not a fan of MM at all but Piers Morgan’s behaviour is revolting. It’s actually embarrassing watching him rant about her. Would put all my money on betting he thought she was going to shag him and his ego just couldn’t take it when she cut him off. He makes my stomach turn.

Thedogscollar · 09/03/2021 09:30

@Sparklingbrook
Yes he is a weatherman but comes across as more intelligent and fair minded than PM!

DarceyDashwood · 09/03/2021 09:30

ITV couldn’t give a shit about complaints and people going on social media complaining about piers. It leads to ratings and headlines. The only way they would ever do anything is if Piers starts to cost them commercial income - ie people stop watching therefore affecting viewing figures or advertisers start pulling their ads.

And the way Susannah Reid is complicit in it sitting there with her faux-outrage at Piers - playing the ‘good cop’ is really disappointing. She has totally sold out.
