celebrities and he’s often overstepped
the mark welcome to watchmojo.com
I work for the top ten times Piers
Morgan went too far
before we begin we publish new content
every day so be sure to subscribe to our
Channel and ring the bell to get
notified about our latest videos in
light of Pierce’s recent clash with one
ariana grande we’re reminded of some of
the other times this British TV
personality has stirred up controversy
so for this list we’ve gathered Piers
Morgan’s most infamous moments from
heated arguments on live TV to social
media scandals while his public backing
for Donald Trump has triggered a
backlash in some circles Morgan’s direct
political persuasions aren’t included
today but I thought I’d be fired if I
hit him and I got five three weeks later
anyway number 10 body shaming Susan
Sarandon Piers takes to Twitter to kick
things off for some ill received
comments on Susan Sarandon Schlow big
choice the Thelma and Louise star had
recently presented the in memoriam
section at the 2016 SAG Awards when
Morgan called her out on a white suit
black bra outfit asking surrounding
whether she dressed the same for a
funeral he labeled the look horribly
inappropriate much to the displeasure of
thousands of followers well actually a
lot of people kept does he have a job a
real job why does he have so much time
currently this might be that he’s doing
something to get today he can’t stop I
don’t think his mother nursed him piers
was promptly taken down for body shaming
before backtracking to explain himself
surroundings rocky Horeb response was
priceless though no benign calling
Rebecca Vardi a wag who wears the
trousers in the South in piers line of
work it’s important to appear relevant
but during this interview with the
Varney’s for good morning Britain Morgan
showed how out of touch he was asking
Rebecca about her life as a football as
wag he was promptly put in his place for
the outdated term and now
G for a while but I could just meet wife
and Gulf I know it does but it’s a bit
derogatory is it thank you for pointing
out that she was more than just a wife
or girlfriend Rebecca left piers to try
and laugh away his error but the moment
only served to highlight his arrogance
what are we gonna call you if we can’t
call you wank my name die-cut coreos an
awkward own-goal if ever we saw one
number eight pushing Clarkson’s buttons
he scarred me here let’s have a look you
said it above my temple cuz there
they’ll ring on another of Britain’s
more divisive personalities
Jeremy Clarkson has famously flung a few
punches in his time the back when piss
was the editor of The Daily Mirror
Clarkson memorably caught him with a
well-placed hook every woman who’s found
out what I did has said why did you hit
him
and every man says where did you hit the
car enthusiast was allegedly unhappy
about reports on his private life which
were published in Morgan’s paper so he
settled the skull with a good
old-fashioned scrap and as per his
telling of the story on Pocky
he even fractured a finger you’re really
gonna hate a guy to hit in that hard
hide to punch Piers Morgan I broke my
finger on him there’s a broken finger on
Piers Morgan
number seven breaking the news embargo
on BBC wage bills and that is all gonna
be published at 11 o’clock this morning
they had given his career in the media
Piers is no stranger to press embargoes
but that didn’t stop him breaking one in
July 2017 when the BBC wage bills were
announced
Morgan released details of BBC earnings
above 150,000 pounds around an hour
before their official time of
publication
therefore undercutting every other
journalist working on the story
faced with angry criticism peers took to
social media to seemingly brag claiming
he’d simply got the scoop we are
absolutely shining example of not just
equality but women dominating amongst
other things
Morgan’s rivals called him naff and a
bellend number six shouting down the
gender debate I mean I’ve got to be
honest with you
it sounds utterly ridiculous you know is
it because we’re kind of old the good
morning Britain sofas staged plenty of
heated discussions but Pierce’s methods
aren’t always all that welcome and he
was at his hot-headed whiz throughout
may 2017 when gender issues routinely
featured on GMB while Susanna Reid plays
a pragmatic host Pierce’s constant
questions allow little time for answers
leaving his non-binary guests
increasingly frustrated you could
basically come in and say I’m not a boy
or girl anymore what else can you say or
not you know if I identify now as
anything is it is anything fine I mean
it might be anything go what can I be an
elephant now literally literally say I’m
now an elephant and do I get a forwarded
elephant right go get a London having
muddled through the misuse of pronouns
and repeatedly refusing to switch
perspectives Morgan goes onto a line
gender with law blissfully the interview
ends with Piers put in his place for
fear-mongering
I think it’s cool it’s not about being
caught up on an inner sense of self and
an identity number five making a mom cry
what on earth are you doing buying a
three-year-old girl 60 pairs of shoes
the guest for our next clip certainly
split viewer opinion but Pierce’s
treatment of her was uncomfortable to
watch more interrogation than interview
his relentless rant smelled strongly of
the bully many believe he is the
incident occurred after a mother billed
for damage to her chance shoes during a
playdate but rather than let the
audience decide peers launched an
ongoing offensive which resulted in
literal tears and it’s not the only time
he’s had motherhood on his agenda either
even clashing with Susanna on the issue
of age shore viewers well let us know
what they think maybe I maybe I’m wrong
as usual
I suspect um not know before telling men
to man up I don’t like the way that a
stiff upper lip Manning up and all that
kind of thing has now become something
to be offensive with mental health
issues finally being widely discussed
Morgan triggered a massive backlash by
outlining his stance in May 2017
with comments made in and around mental
health awareness week morgan tweeted
criticism for male public soul-baring
telling sufferers to man up and
questioning the accuracy of mental
illness statistics his remarks led to
followers labeling him everything from
evil to med evil an expert willis Stan
Collymore hit back on GMB he shouldn’t
have to man up sit there have a stiff
upper lip you should at the appropriate
time if you’re struggling go to doctor
speak to a friend and say just a few
weeks later and Susanna had to battle
peers again over his opinions of the
Wimbledon men’s final number three
slamming ariana grande peers rarely says
sorry but even he had to apologize for
this in the wake of 2017 suicide
bombings at an ariana grande gig in
Manchester Morgan heavily criticized the
singer for not visiting survivors of the
attack in hospital but when ariana
returned to the city to a/c the victims
and be arranged the one loved benefit
gig Morgan admitted that he had
misjudged her peers took to Twitter with
sincerity to congratulate grande on a
magnificent night although he couldn’t
resist reminding followers that he’s
very rarely wrong number two reacting to
the women’s March shouting over me and
we’re not getting any kind of debate
about what was really you’re making
absolutely zero sense where to start
with this one in January 2017
Madonna made headlines for controversial
bombed the White House comments at the
women’s March and PS wasn’t happy q a
long list of tweets and rants as Morgan
manages to anger just about everyone
you’re a favor of free speech if Madonna
wants to blow up the White House you’re
not in favor of inflammatory things
Donald Trump say Susanna Reid cut him
down more than once and ewan mcgregor
outright refused to be interviewed on
good morning Britain
unless Piers was absent which i think is
a shame and kind of plays into my view
that maybe actors should just talk about
the films and not get so worked up about
politics because not really their game
days later and Morgan’s widely jeered
way shows up at the national television
Ward’s wearing a gag well played Susanna
number one the phone hacking scandal
there you listen to all of that did you
know that that was unethical controversy
clung to Morgan during his stints as
editor of the news of the world and the
Daily Mirror in the 90s and early 2000s
he’d eventually lose his job for
publishing fake photos of the Iraq war
but his time at the top is most
remembered for the phone hacking scandal
while Pearce has repeatedly denied
involvement investigations have found
that many cases occurred under his
editorship especially at the mirror
including a major story involving Paul
McCartney and Heather Mills where’s Ian
Hislop when you need him do you agree
