Meghan Markle officially complained to ITV broadcaster after Piers Morgan attacked her and accused her of lying about her mental health in “Good Morning Britain”, according to a report.
The UK Communications Bureau received more than 41,000 complaints about Morgan’s behavior by late Tuesday, according to The Guardian – prompting the regulator to launch an investigation into whether Morgan’s comments violate the injury code. and crime.
An official complaint was also filed on behalf of the Duchess of Sussex on ITV, the British network that broadcasts the morning talk show, the media said.
In the middle of the reaction, the famous host sensationally gave up the show on Tuesday, just a few hours after leaving the set, when his co-star Alex Beresford called him because he continued to “throw” Markle after the amazing half of the couple with Oprah Winfrey.
About two hours later, ITV released a statement saying: “Following talks with ITV, Piers Morgan has now decided it is time to leave Good Morning Britain. ITV has accepted this decision and has nothing to add. ”
Morgan expressed doubts on the show after Markle opened up to Winfrey about suicidal thoughts, including allegations that he was told that seeking help would not look good for a member of the royal family.
“Who did you go to?” Morgan said “Good Morning Britain” on Monday. “What did they tell you?” I’m sorry, I don’t believe a word he said, Meghan Markle. I wouldn’t believe if he read me a weather report. ”
Following the TV host’s comments, it is understood that ITV honchos wanted Morgan to apologize live.
On Tuesday, Morgan said he still didn’t believe Markle, but insisted he took his mental illness very seriously.
“When I talked about this yesterday, I said as a general thing, I don’t believe what Meghan Markle generally says in this interview, and I still have serious concerns about the veracity of much of what she said.”
He added: “But let me just mention my position on mental illness and suicide. These are clearly extremely serious things, which should be taken extremely seriously, and if someone feels that way, they should receive the treatment and help they need every time. ”
