Piers Morgan – who on Monday in his latest series of attacks on Meghan Markle, has denied allegations of racist treatment by the British royal family – stormed his own show, “Good Morning Britain” on Tuesday, after being called by his colleague Alex Beresford for his relentless criticism of the Duchess of Sussex.
“OK. I’m done with this. I’m sorry. No, I’m sorry. You can give me a trash can, but not in your own show,” Morgan told Beresford as he walked away.
Beresford, commenting on the bomb revelations in Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey and criticizing Morgan’s subsequent attacks on the couple, noted how the couple has faced “an overwhelming amount of negative press” in recent years, which has been ” incredibly harmful ”. “It simply came to our notice then.
“I hear Piers say that William went through the same thing, but you know what, the brothers are living a tragedy in their lives and one will be absolutely fine and will destroy it, and the other will not be able to handle it so strongly. it is clear what happened to Prince Harry in this situation “, said the weather forecast” GMB “.
“He walked behind his mother’s coffin at an early age and in front of the globe. This will shape a little boy for the rest of his life, “Beresford continued. “So I think we all need to take a step back.”
Beresford then addressed Morgan:
“I understand you don’t like Meghan Markle. You have said this so clearly several times on this program. Repeatedly. And I understand you had a personal relationship with Meghan Markle or you had a relationship and she broke up with you. He has the right to interrupt you if he wants. Has he said anything about you since he interrupted you? I don’t think he did, but you keep throwing it away.
At that moment, Morgan got up and left.
Beresford said he was “pathetic.”
“This is absolutely diabolical behavior,” he continued. “I’m sorry, but Piers comes up regularly and we all have to sit there and listen. Yesterday between 6.30 and 7 it was incredibly difficult to follow, incredibly difficult to follow. ”
The show stopped. Morgan later returned and told Beresford that they needed to “talk to each other in a civilized manner, since we’re working on the same show on the same team.”
“Launching a rather contemptuous monologue on one of your colleagues is probably not one of the best ways to do that,” Morgan added. “As much as I would like to stay here, abusing you for hours on end, that won’t happen.”
“I’m not trying to come to this show and tear you down, tear you apart,” Beresford said. “Just because we’re on the same side doesn’t mean we have to have the same vision.”
“The whole situation is very personal to me and I am in no way a form or a form that accuses you of being racist,” he added. “I have the luxury of meeting you on and off screen, and I’ve had conversations, I know where you stand on this, and I have a lot of respect for you, Piers.”
“I’m tired of finding another way to explain not to you, but to many people, why what was said is so wrong,” Beresford later added. “I entered institutions as the only person of color and I experienced a hidden and obvious racism on so many occasions and why Meghan’s interview really resonates with me is because a former co-worker – not at this show – asked me if I was worried the shade of cocoa my son was going to get. So I fully understand the wounds behind all of this. ”
