No one needs to think Meghan is a saint. She may well be a terrible person. But Piers Morgan's attitude towards her was absolutely unhinged. He kept frothing on about her on GMB, in his articles for DM he would reference her continuously even if she had nothing to do with the topic in question. The statement he gave after his walkout was somewhat balanced, where he said it was not his place to question her mental health but he finds it difficult to believe the palace did not help. If he had taken that line on GMB that would be fair enough. But he did not.
What he said on GMB would have been absolutely unacceptable if other points of view were not there. What did he say again? "I'm sorry, I don't believe a word she said, Meghan Markle. I wouldn't believe it if she read me a weather report.". This is not journalistic commentary. This is a person trying to satisfy a personal vendetta against another. On live television. And this came after weeks and weeks of continually trashing her on TV, shouting down any opposing point of view. This is what the complaints were about, not that he had opposed Meghan, but the way in which he had done it.
My belief is that Piers was drunk on power. He had earned a reputation for tough talk, and thought he could keep on shouting and insulting others without ever being challenged. That is why he had the meltdown when challenged by Alex Beresford, he couldn't believe a mere weatherman could question him on his show. GMB let him go because he was becoming unhinged. They really shouldn't take him back, he costs a lot both in his salary and the complaints. Yes, good for the ratings, like Katie Hopkins was, but that sort of fame/notoriety usually ends in a public disaster sooner or later. The way he has continued to gun for young black women since leaving GMB shows that he is better left alone.
Just let's not pretend he is some sort of flag bearer for women's rights or free speech.
This is exactly my thoughts.
