Piers Morgan, a well-known journalist, has recently come under fire for his comments about Kate Middleton and her cancer diagnosis. Despite criticizing other celebrities for their reactions to the news, Piers himself has been accused of being a hypocrite for his own words.
In his tweets, the 58-year-old journalist slammed various US talk show hosts for their handling of the conspiracies surrounding Kate's whereabouts. He also disapproved of the support shown for the Princess of Wales, even though other celebrities like Blake Lively had apologized for their involvement in the "Katespiricy" memes.
Kate Middleton, who is 42 years old, recently revealed that she is undergoing chemotherapy as part of her treatment for cancer. This news came after weeks of speculation and rumors. In response, Piers tweeted, "People on here shrieking 'Leave Kate alone!' when they have spent the past few weeks spewing insane conspiracy theories about her is beyond parody." He then added, "Shut up, you shameless hypocrites."
However, Piers was quickly called out by other Twitter users for his own perpetuation of the conspiracies. Mandy reminded him to "look in the mirror," as he had also been pressing the issue of "Where is Kate?" Another follower, Shenna Moffat, pointed out his hypocrisy by saying, "You were one of them." User Aramais even called Piers the "biggest hypocrite" with no shame.
Last week, during an episode of his show Uncensored, Piers continued to fuel the flames by sharing some "pretty alarming" information given to him by insiders. He stated that while he didn't know what to believe, it was concerning if even half of it was true. He also expressed doubts about the Palace's handling of the situation, saying they may be withholding information.
In a previous New York Post column, Piers had also expressed his suspicions that the Palace was hiding something about Kate's health. He commented, "But the conspiracy theories about Kate Middleton's secret health crisis and disappearance from public life...have shown that the old palace way of handling the media has become increasingly obsolete and unworkable."
Before Kate's cancer diagnosis was revealed, Piers had even stated that his sympathy for her would "erode" if it turned out that the Palace had misled the public. He wrote, "I feel very sorry for Kate that she's had to go through whatever health issue she's had...But my sympathy will erode if it turns out that she and the palace have deliberately misled the media and public."
Since then, Piers has praised the Palace's handling of the situation, calling Kate's video addressing the conspiracies "so effective and admirable." He has also urged his followers to support those affected by cancer and to reach out to the entertainment team if they have any stories to share.
In the midst of all this, Piers' comments have come under even more scrutiny as they coincided with the news of Kate's cancer diagnosis. Some have even questioned the timing of his previous interviews, including one with Celebrity Big Brother's Gary Goldsmith. Despite the backlash, Piers has remained firm in his belief that the truth should always be shared with the public.
Overall, this situation has shed light on the challenges of handling the media and public in a situation as delicate as this. As we continue to support Kate and her family, let us also remember to be empathetic and respectful to those affected by cancer.
