So Piers Morgan has huffed off.

I just don't think all is at it seems where he is concerned recently... He has a villain persona on GMB. It's like Lorraine Kelly playing 'Lorraine' the lovely wee lassie from East Kilbride when in fact she's a hard boiled journalist like PM

GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou · 09/03/2021 10:01

Oh, Jesus.

I forgot Philp Schofield existed for a while.

Let's see what he says. :o

We are on the same page. Grin

Piers is the scum of the earth. Fed up with GMB pussyfooting around him, and being so pathetic. Sack him already.

Here we go. PS and HW hashing over it all again.

Piers Morgan is a total prick.

I'm no great royal supporter, but his behaviour over MM is outrageous, and he should be sacked. He#s like a dog with a bone. It's so apparent MM knocked him back.

With the benefit of white privilege, who's he to say what is and isn't racist? And I'm saying that as someone who does have white privilege. How can he suggest MM was making it up about suicidal thoughts? Is he a mind reader? That's not something someone would say for the fun of it....surely you'd only say that if it actually happened?

He's an arrogant, misogynist prick.

Sparklingbrook · 09/03/2021 10:05

'As with every story there's always two sides' that's the ground breaking stuff being said on This Morning. Who knew?

Janegrey333 · 09/03/2021 10:08

He’s been silly but he’s not wrong about the Sussex woman.

Willgetbetter · 09/03/2021 10:14

@Janegrey333 - are you saying you think MM moved Harry away from his family because she wasn’t suicidal and wasn’t being bullied, and that ‘the Sussex woman’ is in fact a liar?

JingsMahBucket · 09/03/2021 10:16

@Sparklingbrook

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

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.

@Sparklingbrook yes, let me clarify. MM & PM did meet before she knew Harry. Even at that point she was still warned by people not to talk to him again and so she wisely took that advice and didn’t. When Harry came along, he also advised her not to talk to PM.

Piers is now frothing because that actress he wanted to possibly do more with is now married to a prince and he’s shut out of the monarchy at the time when there would be publicity for a new royal wedding, baby, etc. He wanted to cash in on potential connections.

Once again, he’s kicking himself because his shitty criminal prior behaviour has come home to roost and he wasn’t given access to the hottest couple in the last few years.

She might be a complete arsehole. She's not wrong though that she's been targeted by racists and treated appallingly not just by the British press but by members of the Royal Family. Princess Michael's blackamoore broach, anyone?
StoneofDestiny · 09/03/2021 10:17

No way was the clash between Morgan and Alex staged. Morgan was really furious about being challenged about his highly personalised attacks on Meghan Markle - he hadn't calmed down even by the end of the show. There will be a lot of shit hitting the fan behind the scenes - particularly as Morgan was trying to silence Alex as he was 'on the same team' - so clearly not looking for two sides to be presented or to have his opinions challenged.

Alex 100% ballsy. Morgan 100% wimpish.

Interesting that Reid didn't even get her oar in - useless.

GreenlandTheMovie · 09/03/2021 10:19

He's annoying, but it's not wrong as a journalist not to take everything someone says at face value and to automatically believe it withiut question.

daisychain01 · 09/03/2021 10:25

Meghan Markle ghosts Piers Morgan

Diddums.

Complete publicity stunt, attention-seeker that he is.

Correct. It's also wrong to launch and sustain a very public campaign of bullying.

Looking at Alex Beresford's twitter this has been brewing I think for awhile

Piers knows this will generate column inches and is the only reason he did it. Here we are talking about him.

ITV will sit back and collect the ad revenue from his show. A company that has a mental health campaign but allows Piers to hound Meghan to the point of suicide. A company Caroline Flack worked for, who put messages of tribute up after she took her own life due to trolling on social media.

Here is Piers saying he thinks Meghan is lying that she felt suicidal. This is an unacceptable thing for him to say and dangerous for other contemplating suicide who might want to tell someone how they feel. Here's a link to the clip and a link to complain to Ofcom: its just a really short form.

Can you imagine ANYONE else coming out and saying they contemplated suicide and ANYBODY in the media shouting them down? They'd be sacked. Why is Piers untouchable?

JackieWeaverHandforthCouncil · 09/03/2021 11:20

As you can see in the link below, it’s in ITVs interest to keep this all going. They were suffering a £250m loss but the current row has put them back in profit.

'The sessex woman'?!! Grin

Her name is Meghan.

GetOffYourHighHorse · 09/03/2021 12:29

He is such a ridiculous man. Imagine if any of the guests he rants at did the same 🙄. Why doesn't he develop his debating skills?! it seems they aim for the Jeremy Kyle style shouty audience.
