Piers Morgan, the controversial host of TalkTV, has faced backlash numerous times for his outspoken opinions. In 2021 alone, he caused 50,000 complaints for his comments about Meghan Markle on Good Morning Britain and received an official apology from ITV for mimicking the Chinese language on the show the year before. He also faced criticism for cruelly mocking Madonna's appearance and making a toxic gender comment about a female athlete's eligibility for the Olympics.
Despite this, in a recent interview, Morgan claimed that he doesn't hold "unkind" or "intolerant" views. He stated that when confronted by someone with opposing beliefs, he challenges them to identify which specific views of his they hate, but they are never able to answer. He clarified that while he may express himself in a strident manner, his views are not far-right, intolerant, or particularly unkind.
However, just weeks ago, Morgan made another controversial comment on social media, causing further outrage. He also has a history of making derogatory remarks about celebrities, such as calling I'm A Celebrity winner Sam Thompson an "irritating reality TV halfwit" and mocking Victoria Beckham for letting her hair down. But it was his comments about Meghan Markle in 2021 that sparked the most uproar and ultimately led to his exit from Good Morning Britain.
Despite winning his Ofcom complaint and maintaining that he does not believe Meghan's claims about experiencing suicidal thoughts and racism within the Royal Family, Morgan stands by his comments. He also denies believing that two members of the Royal Family made comments about Meghan's son's skin color. However, he has made multiple negative comments about the couple in the past, including comparing their Netflix documentary to the Kardashians and calling Prince Harry a "weapons-grade hypocrite."
Despite his controversial history, Morgan now insists that he is not "unkind." If you have a celebrity story, video, or photos, you can contact the entertainment team through email, phone, or the Submit Stuff page. They would love to hear from you.
