Remember what we said about Morgan and his irrational fear of the female form? It’s that same phobia which led to him attempting to shame Amber Rose – as in, yes, one of the women who created her own SlutWalk Festival. Talk about making a right Rita Skeeter out of yourself, eh? Amber Rose Because, somewhat awkwardly, he was the author of the gushing article. Unfortunately for Morgan, however, he had fallen right into Rowling’s trap. “Could the writer let me know who he is? I’d love to thank him.” “Just been sent this,” wrote Rowling, sharing a screengrab of an article that waxed lyrical about the magical wizarding world she had created. Too bad, then, that Rowling was easily able to expose him as a big fat liar.
It was at this point that Morgan panicked and loudly insisted that he had never read a Harry Potter book in his life, and never wanted to, either. “If you’d only read Harry Potter, you’d know that the downside of sucking up to the biggest bully in school is getting burned alive,” she said. In case you hadn’t noticed by now, JK Rowling and Morgan really do not get on – a fact made very clear when the Harry Potterauthor very publicly informed Morgan that his sycophantic attitude to Donald Trump’s presidency would, ultimately, prove his own downfall. “Thought we deleted this image years ago…” JK Rowling “Oh god,” they said, retweeting the image into their feed.
You know, the one that featured him naked and draped in velvet? Yeah, that one.īurger King were, naturally, simultaneously and mortified about the publicity. How? By recirculating his 2009 advertisement for Burger King. More importantly, though, she made a point of exposing Morgan’s hypocrisy. Grande went on to remind Little Mix that “your sisters have your back” and that they should “keep fighting the fight divas”. I think that’ll be a beautiful thing for you and your career, or what’s left of it.” She added: “Also Piers Morgan, I look forward to the day you realise there are other ways to go about making yourself relevant than to criticise young, beautiful, successful women for everything they do. I say this with all due respect but thank you, next.” And we keep fighting until people understand. “I use my talent AND my sexuality all the time because I choose to,” she tweeted at Morgan. Responding to Morgan’s tweets about Little Mix ( and her own mother), Ariana Grande weighed in magnificently on social media, taking the GMB host to task for the way he refuses to allow women in the spotlight to be sexual beings. “Of course not,” she said, “he’s a silly twat.”Īnd, of course, they weren’t the only ones to slam Morgan for this particular comment. Speaking to Nick Grimshaw on BBC Radio 1, Jesy Nelson addressed Morgan’s comments, saying that neither she nor her bandmates had found them surprising. “I hope your other 1,345 virtue-signalling victimhood-craving ailments make similarly miraculous recoveries,” he tweeted. And, earlier this week, Morgan decided to use a Mail Online headline (about Jamil’s nut allergies clearing up) to make a dig. Since then, the pair have sparred pretty much constantly. This clown spews constant toxic ideas of ‘masculinity’.” He thinks men who carries babies in a comfortable papoose where they can feel your body heat and pulse, aren’t ‘manly’. Of course England’s biggest shit stain has something mean to say about it. ‘Why do you care, dad, what people identify as?’ But I think there are so many ramifications around self-identity that are a real concern, and they haven’t thought it through.” “My young sons don’t care about this whole gender thing, they think I’m just an old fuddy-duddy, it doesn’t matter. We saw this previously, when Morgan announced that he isn’t a fan of the ongoing conversations around self-identity and, as such, he believes the rest of the world shouldn’t be a fan of the ongoing conversations around self-identity. Jameela Jamil has made it something of a personal mission to call Morgan out on Twitter. Thank goodness, then, for these brilliant women, all of whom have taken Morgan to task over his vitriol and exposed him for exactly what he is: a decrepit and increasingly irrelevant dinosaur. And somebody has to point out when his views aren’t just polarising: they’re downright dangerous. Somebody has to rein him in when he goes too far.
Somebody has to hold him accountable for his purposely antagonistic views. So, while ignoring him is fun (albeit tricky: have you ever tried to pretend you can’t smell a particularly evil fart? It’s a lot like that), it can also feel incredibly irresponsible.
