Piers Morgan came out of “Good Morning Britain” this week in the dust around his latest criticism of Meghan Markle, a recurring theme in his career.
But it was not the first time that the bombastic television personality and the former tabloid editor was involved in a feud, on Twitter or otherwise.
Here is a list of large beef, Morgan, 55, cooked over the years, including Chelsea Handler and Jameela Jamil.
Jeremy Clarkson
Morgan and Clarkson’s Top Gear have been fighting for many years.
Their animosity dates back to 2002, when Morgan published photos in his newspaper of Clarkson married to another woman. Clarkson pleaded with Morgan not to lead the story, to no avail, leaving Clarkson’s wife and children upset by the publicity.
The following year, Clarkson emptied a glass of water over Morgan during Concorde’s last flight.
“I poured a glass of water over her legs, so when she came down, she looked like she was getting wet,” Clarkson admitted on television.
The following year, he got into a fistfight with Morgan at the British Press Awards. The fight left Clarkson with a broken finger and Morgan with a scar after being punched three times.
Jameela Jamil
On Tuesday, “The Good Place” star Jamil wrote on Twitter that the “lying campaign” against Morgan almost led to her suicide last year.
“I almost committed suicide a year ago because of the relentless campaign of lies and hatred against Piers Morgan in February last year,” wrote Jamil, 35. “I’m glad I’m still alive today for many reasons.”
As Page Six reported earlier, they faced a vicious fight on Twitter last year over “Love Island” star Caroline Flack, who died by suicide.
“The pillars that use a dead woman I was friends with as a weapon to try to harass me, as I just explained publicly that last week I felt suicidal … that’s why he’s the most problematic in this industry. . My criticism for a * show * did not target any hatred of Carolina, “she wrote on Twitter at the time.
He replied, writing: “Delighted to see Jameela Jamil miraculously found the strength in her countless sufferings to mark me an ‘aggressive parasite.’ This is such a valuable contribution to the #BeKind movement and I wish her well with her continued recovery from hypocritical Twerp Syndrome. ”
Janet Mock
In 2014, transgender author and activist Janet Mock appeared as a guest on “Piers Morgan Live” to discuss her memoirs “Redefining Realness.”
After it aired, Mock hated Morgan on Twitter for describing her as “a boy up to 18 years old.” she he wrote angrily on Twitter that Morgan had to “put them together.”
Morgan sniffed back that “he had never been treated so shamefully” by a guest.
JK Rowling
The famous author is not a fan of Morgan, whom he once described as a “celebrity toady”.
During a 2017 appearance on “Real Time with Bill Maher,” Morgan insisted that the Trump administration did not implement a “Muslim ban” with a travel ban against seven countries.
Australian comedian Jim Jeffries, who was also a guest on the show, responded bitterly by telling Morgan to “leave.”
Author “Harry Potter” he happily redistributed the exchange and wrote“Yeah, seeing Piers Morgan being told to handle live television is * exactly * as satisfying as I’ve ever imagined.”
Morgan replied, “That’s why I’ve never read a single word in Harry Potter.“
“Because you had the premonition that one day the author would scream with laughter when he saw you called to the bulls *** on live TV?” Rowling rushed quickly.
Chrissy Teigen
Teigen with several hyphens often fried Morgan on social media.
An exchange started from a tweet in which Morgan meditated: “I hope people won’t make me look too perfect when I die. No layers of sugar, please. “
John Legend, Teigen’s husband, replied, “You could test us by announcing your retirement.”
Teigen intervened naughtily: “From what? Trolling is not a job (I tried). ”
Morgan returned with a blow to Teigen’s own career, tweeting, “Maybe I should take on a suitable job, such as modeling?”
Teigen: “Keep me nice and non-racist for sure, let him go.”
kim Kardashian
In 2016, the reality star shared a nude photo with herself on social media.
Morgan offered to buy clothes for Kardashian, referring to money issues, involving her then-husband Kanye West, who had recently made headlines.
“I know the debt of the $ 50 million old man, Kim – but this is absurd. Do you want me to buy you some clothes? ” Morgan wrote.
“Hey, @piersmorgan never offers to buy clothes for a married woman. That’s what happens to some kind of Ashley Madison ***, Kardashian applauded.
Chelsea Handler
Chelsea Handler happily weighed in with Morgan this week.
“Some holes get better, others stay the same,” she wrote in a video of an old interview between her and Morgan, which has since gone viral.
In the 2014 remake of “Piers Morgan Live,” Handler said Morgan was a “terrible interviewer” because he didn’t pay attention to what he was saying during the conversation.
While Morgan tried to turn the tables and blamed the 46-year-old comedian for not “keeping [his] attention, ”Handler quickly pulled back.
“That’s not my problem,” she said. “This is your show. You have to pay attention to the guests you invited to your show. ”
Ariana Grande
Piers’ fight with Grande was one of the few that ended in blood. The “Thank U, Next” singer came for Morgan in November 2018, when he accused her of using nudity to sell albums. But the two decided they had one thing in common – apparently overcoming tax brackets – after a face-to-face relationship in February 2019.
“We hit each other. at a restaurant. and I decided to stay with him and talk for a while. I think some progress has been made! “Grande explained after some fans expressed disappointment at their approach.
Lady Gaga
Gaga and Morgan fought in 2016, after Morgan suggested she and Madonna lied about survivors of sexual assault.
He also insinuated that Gaga exaggerates the allegations about PTSD, saying: “I know many soldiers with PTSD, it is a very serious thing. I also know people who claim to have it, but clearly don’t. ”
Obviously, Gaga claimed a kind of influence on Morgan that few others could claim: she went on to say that she regretted the PTSD tweet and also apologized to him in April 2020, after criticizing her concert One World: Together at Home.
Emily Ratajkowski
“Somewhere, Emmeline Pankhurst just spilled,” Morgan said posted in 2017 on one of EmRata’s sexy photos. That, after calling Ratajkowski a “global bimbo” on “Good Morning Britain” and after recycling his “clothing purchase” comment to Kardashian to Ratajkowski in July 2016.
“Telling women what to do with their bodies and sexualities is really just classic sexism,” Ratajkowski answered the 2017 question. “I can have opinions about feminism and do sexy photo sessions and thank you.” She continued to ignore Morgan, while he continued to tweet about her five times.
Anderson Cooper / CNN
Morgan watched Cooper after the British man’s CNN show went into his head, telling Politico, “Could I have done better? Yes.
“Anderson is a great field reporter, but he runs high ratings on CNN, outside of a big news cycle? I see no evidence to that effect. ”
Cooper did not respond, although CNN did, publishing a statement that read: “In the two and a half years that ‘AC 360’ served as the leader in Piers Morgan’s program on CNN, it has always achieved a higher rating. bigger than Piers ”program. And for the seven months that the Piers Morgan program led to “AC 360”, “360” always got a higher rating than the Piers program. It is sad that Piers is trying to find a new job, misrepresenting how it evolved into the old one.
Amber Rose
Morgan demonstrated her ability to recycle her old pieces in 2017, when she drew another reference to Parkhurst to use as a puppy against Amber Rose, who posted a lightly dressed photo promoting her SlutWalk awareness event .
A blow-by-blow of their conflict would last the rest of March, so we’ll give up our favorites in Rose’s photos: “I’d make my little bitch submissive and I’d love every second I can see right through u. ”
Daniel Craig
Morgan hit her at Craig in 2018 because she carried her baby daughter in a breast sling, which she called “papoose”. While actor Bond did not respond, Captain America himself, Chris Evans, replied, deceptive“You have to be so uncertain about your own masculinity to worry about how another man is carrying his child.” Morgan was later flooded on Twitter with images of meatballs, from “Thor” actor Chris Hemsworth to UFC fighter Alex Volkanovski, who threw their descendants in the chest straps.
Emma Watson
Morgan followed Watson several times, first suggesting in a 2017 article that Watson set a double standard for feminism following an interview question she answered about Beyoncé. Watson simply posted the entire interview, showing that Morgan had taken his answer out of context.
He followed her in 2019 because he described her status as a “self-partner” and, again, a month later, because she appeared dressed as a nun in a Pirelli calendar, calling her “The Actress with the Most great significance of virtues of all times ”Watson stopped answering after 2017.
