So Piers Morgan has huffed off.

I don’t know why she’s still there.
The money.

KarensChoppyBob · 09/03/2021 09:33

Yes ITV are a bit shit like that. Not to mention the cronyism at play.

KarensChoppyBob · 09/03/2021 09:34

I--t helps if you shag a producer.

Maybe Piers does?

Sparklingbrook · 09/03/2021 09:34

@DarceyDashwood

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.

ITV will have loved it. Probably gained a load of viewers off the back of it. I agree that SR is becoming an act as well.

I would have never taken you for a PM fan Sparklingbrook. :o

I am not a 'fan' as such. I like Life Stories, he's interviewed some interesting people. I just don't think all is at it seems where he is concerned recently...

@MummieNiamh

Piers is only peeved off as he was friends with Megan and she now is no longer in contact with him.
They weren’t even friends and this myth needs to die. Not aiming this at you @MummieNiamh, just clarifying.

It wasn’t a date. They were not friends. It was a set up meeting by her managers to meet with a journalist like all celebrities are told to do. That’s it.

After finding out who he was and being warned off by several people, including Harry, she never responded to him again.

That is what Piers Morgan is upset about. He’s pissed off because his reputation finally caught up to him as a horrible human being. Of one who worms his way into celebrities’ lives in order to destroy them and it didn’t work or go to plan this one time.

People saw him for who he was and were able to prevent an unsuspecting American of from falling into his clutches. So he decided to do it anyway with no basis for attack. That’s why he gets angry about being called out his obsession. He’s pissed off that his reputation preceded him and that it finally punished him rightly for his past offenses. He’s being left out of the inner circle of “knowledge” and it kills him.

Sparklingbrook · 09/03/2021 09:43

I am not sure how PM thought his friendship with Meghan would have progressed had she not met PH. He was married to CW.
She wasn't a well known sleb over here in 2016 so not sure what he would have destroyed. I don't really understand it.

GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou · 09/03/2021 09:45

But why is he so very angry?

He was literally spitting with rage yesterday morning. It was unnerving to watch.

What a pathetic man!
Pure cronyism! How was he ever given such a platform after his history with the Mirror?
He is not a journalist. He is a megaphone! Cannot stand him.

Thedogscollar · 09/03/2021 09:45

If Meghan and Piers were still on friendly terms he would have given his right arm for that interview.

If ever there was a definition of a hypocrite its PM.

Look at some of the shit he was behind as a newspaper editor.

Because that's his thing. His GMB persona. What people want! If he was anything else people would switch off. Grin

I wonder what Celia Walden thinks about all this. It must be so hard knowing that your husband is absolutely obsessed with another woman.

KarensChoppyBob · 09/03/2021 09:51

I can't watch him @ sparkling, I only know what's going on thanks to MN and Twitter :)

Well it's not compulsory. Grin

Thank god Wink

JackieWeaverHandforthCouncil · 09/03/2021 09:53

Part of me wonders whether his bullying would stop if Megan and Harry granted him an interview but then the other part of me thinks that placating bullies for a quiet life never works. You just end up walking on eggshells forever.

Nith · 09/03/2021 09:55

He’s starting to come across as obsessive.

"Starting"? That ship sailed around two years ago.

Sparklingbrook · 09/03/2021 09:56

It seems Covid has been forgotten by daytime TV. LK has just covered the H&M story some more and looks like Phil and Holly are revving up for another round today too.
it's bizarre.

GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou · 09/03/2021 09:56

I have watched the show and have seen him get blustery and red-faced when he assumes he knows best.

But this was something else.

I really think he needs to stay away from any subject concerning MM from now on.

Spot on. This is so well articulated. Couldn't have put it better myself.

He thought he'd be on the inside with the latest in their lives and couldn't handle it when that didn't happen.

HopefulQuitter · 09/03/2021 09:58

@Nipoleonthenoncommital

Not watching but surely no great loss? He's an absolute gobshite.
What do you mean by this?

I want my Alexa to do this how do I do it!

misses point of thread

HopefulQuitter · 09/03/2021 09:59

Sorry quoted wrong person!

Sparklingbrook · 09/03/2021 09:59

But when he first met MM she wasn't with PH, that's the bit I don't get. I don't know what he would have gained from befriending an American actress that not many people in the UK had heard of. They didn't have contact after she met PH.
