Didn't even know she is still around until she decided to pile into this mess. Who is still paying this woman to be on TV?Confused

Oh yes, please comfort her and trip all over your words in trying to let everybody know she's not racist while she's petulant and interrupting you trying to doing just that. Don't you dare cry because she should be the one crying. Why? Because her feelings have been hurt. Why? Because calling her friend Piers a racist means she is also a racist and how could she be racist about anybody? (her words).

I don't know if she's racist or not, just posting based on what I watched. Haven't seen her or the show in a very long while. Forgot they're still on.

*trying to do just that.

"Or anyTHING!" Confused

Yes, "or anything". I suppose it stresses how IMPOSSIBLE it is for her to be racist if it includes "anything". Lol

CruellaDePaella · 11/03/2021 18:49

Wish I could say good that Piers left but I'm aware how these things work. Piers isn't crying - he may be out of GMB job but he's not out of work. They (The execs.) have to be seen to be doing things now that he became a liability. It's about protecting their image and most especially, their money and not about them disagreeing with Piers. So while a good seems to have been done, it really is performative. Not impressed. I know whatsername though will not be happy her mouthpiece is gone. Who will speak for her now?

Meanwhile Piers will lay low for a while and find something somewhere, then have even more to say. The man is the embodiment of a nasty troll, a dog with a bone and male ego after it's been bruised.

Benelovencd · 11/03/2021 19:07

I don't even have energy to adrees this mess.

This clinical need for presciosn on what is and isn't racist, then laughing it off, minimising, denying and gaslighring when told, then setting out what you as a white think is racist, only to change the threshold when your ridiculous standard is hit again and again is exhausting. Sharon Osborne, you want someone to speak plainly to you- fine- you are racist. Done

Karen Osbourne

in the comments made me laugh Grin

ajandjjmum · 11/03/2021 20:03

I don't think Piers will be laying low - he will be assessing a number of offers on the table.

ITV shares dropped in value by 5% yesterday - £250 million, following news of his departure.

He drove me mad at times this year, but he brought in the viewers.

CruellaDePaella · 11/03/2021 20:09

That's what I mean - he'll have a lot of offers in private but he's not going to suddenly be seen to 'have a job' especially on TV till things blow over and the company is sure it won't affect them negatively.

And by the way it wasn't because of Piers but because on Tuesday ITV announced a 39% decline in pre-tax profits. Their shares are down 60% over the past five years. Fits the narrative for the press to claim it's because of Piers.

Oh, the river of tears woman. This is why when I see the collective fuss about MeToo, sexism, trans, women's rights et al, I raise a brow.

As soon as a Black/Bi-racial Woman is bullied, mocked, cyber-stalked, hounded, harassed by a man - Look how quickly these women sit down and wag their tail in support of him, for patriarchy props.

I wouldnt even try to unpack the psychology behind this confused 'every woman is a woman except a Black woman' publicity-craving hypocrite, and those like her.

CruellaDePaella · 11/03/2021 20:31

I was uncomfortable with the way she spoke to Sheryl, friend or not. Had it been the other way round, headlines would have been about how Sheryl angrily barked at Whatsername.

anewdispensation · 11/03/2021 20:35

Why was Sheryl so nice to her? She needed to be told to fuck off? It wasn’t about her. How does Piers being racist equal her being racist? Gosh! I despair. The dimwit saying she should be the one crying... we are not on a fucking plantation! Jesus wept

There's only shite on anyway, hope they do go bust.

The years of harassing and bullying Meghan didn't raise so much as an eyebrow in any quarter

Today the PM and Priti Patel have made statements about how every woman should be safe, blah, blah. Wonder what's made them speak up about this crime in particular?

I'm still incensed at her yelling at Sheryl to not dare cry as this is about her and her feelings. How twisted is that? That is what BW have been talking about, about when white women weaponise their tears. You cannot win against a white women's tears- even Kate's hypothetical tears gained more outrage than MM's real tears

Like why was she crying? Is she piers Morgan’s mum or wife? What sort of fuckery is that? And Sheryl was twisting herself in knots trying to explain!

Why do while women have to centre themselves in everything?

debbrianna · 11/03/2021 23:08

Black women need to learn to weaponise our tears. Society needs to embrace the fact that black women can cry too. We are not always strung. We are women too, we are human like everyone else.

When I say weaponise, it does not mean to use it to harm people. But to say that "I didn't do it" and be believed. To show that you are vulnerable and need help and actually get tge help.

What Sharon did there was no different to wgst that woman and tge dog did in the park. It's just in different context but still similar.

There is a thread about trusting white women. I think from now on the black woman will question her friendship if she hadn't before.

My daughter's best friend says (in relation to White tears gaslighting at work, which at a young age she's already experienced unfortunately)

'Listen, when they start crying, you cry too!'

No apology to Sheryl just some vague sorry if you were offended thing written by someone else and a whole bunch of white people accepting the apology on the behalf of black people or telling Sharon she has nothing to apologise for🙄. Best one is the one saying MM is white, Harry is white and their children are both white so no racism here just black people imagining it and blaming Sheryl🤔

The caucasity of it all🤣

Piers calling BW bullies for calling out his stalker and racist behaviour. Hundreds of people have called Piers out for his antics but he chooses to focus on Sheryl and Elaine and call them bullies🙄🙄🤔

HmmmmmmInteresting · 12/03/2021 11:36

Sharon says she's still 'learning'. She's had like 70 years to learn. She needs to sit down.
