Piers Morgan Stormed Off Set Today And Is Leaving Good Morning Britain Because He Got Called Out For Having A Personal Problem With Meghan Markle
Piers Morgan, who prompted backlash and an investigation from the UK's media regulator over comments about Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, will depart "Good Morning Britain," ITV abruptly announced Tuesday.
"Following discussions with ITV, Piers Morgan has decided now is the time to leave Good Morning Britain," ITV said in a short statement. "ITV has accepted this decision and has nothing further to add."
Morgan did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
Earlier in the day, Morgan walked off the "Good Morning Britain" set after he was skewered by a co-host for his criticism of Harry and Meghan.
AH-HA! Fuck off Piers. I'm thrilled by this news. Oh, you didn't like hearing that you were acting like a complete knob-head with no knob??? Didn't stop to think that maybe, just maybe, you were a huge part of the toxic and dangerous spreading of lies and harassment that Harry and Meghan actually went through over the years? When PRINCE CHARLES is catching smoke, you don't think you're going to get a little backlash? Piers is the worst kind of person. He's loud and opinionated in a way that's so absurd, it's almost as if he's a professional troll. Like there's not any chance he ACTUALLY feels the way he says he does, and he goes into every situation trying to cause as much trouble as possible. His cohost wasn't having it this time around.
On Tuesday, Morgan faced criticism from his own colleague.
"I understand that you [Morgan] don't like Meghan Markle, you've made it so clear a number of times on this program," said "Good Morning Britain" co-host Alex Beresford. "And I understand that you've got a personal relationship with Meghan Markle, or had one and she cut you off," he added.
"Has she said anything about you since she cut you off? I don't think she has, but yet you continue to trash her," Beresford said.
At that point, Morgan got up and, while walking off the set, said, "Okay, I'm done with this, sorry, no, sorry... see you later, sorry, can't do this."
OMG. Bodybag. Piers, you've got to go into hiding forever. We all know how butthurt you are by Meghan, you've had an OBSESSION with her for years, and you just got called out on air. He could've taken that opportunity to be like "actually yea, we've got some beef" and then attempted to make another salient point trying to defend himself. But this walk-off set? Might as well be an admission of guilt. BOOOOOO PIERS!!! BOOOOOOOOOOO
