(I can’t abide the man -WCW)
By Bridget Read
Piers Morgan, a bloviated “crusty tea and crumpet ass” bigot with a history of terrible opinions and a penchant for never shutting up about them, finally shut up early this morning, England time, and it is one of the more satisfying things you will ever witness. Instead of beginning the day with your meditation or Yoga With Adriene, may I suggest watching this footage of Morgan huffily walking off his own set like a giant pink baby, which will bring you peace and light?
Morgan doesn’t just have a history of antagonizing famous women and saying racist things — he also has very well-documented personal beef with Markle. In December 2018, which was six months after Meghan and Harry’s wedding, Morgan wrote a column in the illustrious Daily Mail with the headline “Meghan Markle Is a Ruthless Social Climbing Actress Who Has Landed the Role of Her Life and Is Determined to Milk It for All She Can — and That’s Why the Palace Is Beginning to Turn on Her.” In the piece, Morgan claimed he was “ghosted” by Markle after the two became friends via Twitter in 2015 and met for a drink in London in 2016. He was clearly very steamed that Markle had stopped communicating with him after she met Harry.
Update, March 9, 1:30 p.m.: Morgan is leaving his role at Good Morning Britain altogether, according to a statement from ITV, the network on which the program runs. “Following discussions with ITV, Piers Morgan has decided now is the time to leave Good Morning Britain,” it reads. “ITV has accepted this decision and has nothing further to add.”
Morgan’s departure comes after over 41,000 people wrote into the U.K. media regulator Ofcom to complain over his remarks about Markle on Monday. Read the entire article HERE.
