Piers Morgan is not bothered by the agitation following his public criticism of Meghan Markle, sources for Page Six confirm.
The British bomber revealed that he was forced to leave his job in “Good Morning Britain” because he would not apologize to Markle for not believing his claims about her mental health, but a source who knows him tells him Six that he is not preoccupied and thrives in revolt. ”
Morgan, 55, left the set of the British show earlier this week, following a clash with his colleague Alex Berenson in connection with the interview between Markle and Prince Harry with Oprah Winfrey. The UK broadcaster ITV later confirmed that it will not return to its hosting concert.
Days later, the controversial journalist posted a long note on Instagram in which he revealed that he “lost my job” because “he chose not to apologize” to the 39-year-old former actress.
A main source from ITV confirms Morgan’s statements, saying: “Piers was asked to apologize for not believing Meghan or he will no longer be able to present” GMB “- and he refused. If he apologized, he’d still be there. ”
Markle himself reportedly sued ITV CEO Dame Carolyn McCall after Morgan called her “Princess Pinocchio” and said she didn’t think she was committing suicide while pregnant with her son, Archie. because he believed that the comments could affect people who deal with their mental health problems.
After the initial outburst over her comments, Morgan then said in the air: “It’s not for me to ask if she felt suicidal, I’m not in her mind and that’s what she has to say. My real concern was unbelief, honestly – and I’m prepared to be proven wrong in this and, if I’m wrong, it’s a scandal – that he went to a senior member of the royal household and told them he was suicide, and she was told she could have no help because it would be a bad thing for the family. If this is true, a) that person should be fired and b) the royal family has serious questions that need to be answered. “
However, the clarification was not considered sufficiently contradictory and he was asked to apologize again on Wednesday, but refused.
But Morgan is finally happy that he managed – on his last day on “GMB” – to beat rival “BBC Breakfast” for the first time.
“I had only one goal when I joined @ GMB- he defeated @BBCBreakfast in evaluations. On my last day, I did it. This was due to the effort and dedication of the entire team. Not everyone agrees with me, some don’t even like me, but I was a team … and I won. Thank you guys. I will miss you, “Morgan wrote on Twitter.
