Meghan Markle Filed Complaint with ITV Over Piers Morgan Comments (Report)

A new report has emerged suggesting Meghan Markle filed a complaint with ITV against Piers Morgan after his Monday morning tirade against her.

Apparently, according to The Telegraph, the complaint was lodged on her behalf.

If you don’t know, Piers openly dragged Meghan and her husband Prince Harry for their Oprah Winfrey interview and, in particular, claimed she’s lying about her mental health and suicidal thoughts during her time as a royal.

“Who did you go to? What did they say to you? I’m sorry, I don’t believe a word she said, Meghan Markle,” Morgan said on Good Morning Britain. “I wouldn’t believe it if she read me a weather report.” After being called out on the show, Morgan actually ended up resigning from his position.

Piers Morgan Is Standing By His Comments About Meghan Markle One Day After Quitting 'Good Morning Britain'

Piers Morgan isn’t backing down of his criticisms of Meghan Markle.

Early on Wednesday morning (March 10), the disgraced Good Morning Britain anchor tweeted out that he’s standing by the comments he made about the Duchess of Sussex and her tell-all interview alongside husband, Prince Harry, with Oprah Winfrey.

“On Monday, I said I didn’t believe Meghan Markle in her Oprah interview. I’ve had time to reflect on this opinion, and I still don’t. If you did, OK. Freedom of speech is a hill I’m happy to die on. Thanks for all the love, and hate. I’m off to spend more time with my opinions,” Piers penned.

The tweet was accompanied by an image of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, alongside his own quote: “Some people’s idea of free speech is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone says anything back, that is an outrage.”

Just a day after Meghan and Harry‘s interview aired, Piers said some choice words about the couple, and was met with criticism from Dr. Shola Mos Shogbamimu.

The next day, GMB co-host Alex Beresford also clapped back at Piers for his comments, and he then stormed off the set.

ITV then released a statement about what’s to come for Piers, which includes him leaving the show permanently.

Meghan and Harry‘s interview with Oprah Winfrey will be re-airing on Friday on CBS.

Jameela Jamil Says She Almost Killed Herself Because of Piers Morgan

Jameela Jamil is getting candid about Piers Morgan‘s effect on her mental health.

Following news of the host’s departure from Good Morning Britain on Tuesday (March 9), the 35-year-old star spoke out on social media.

“TW: suicide I almost killed myself a year ago because of Piers Morgan’s relentless campaign of lies and hatred against me last February. I’m glad I’m still alive today for many reasons. But watching him leave GMB today is right up there and has me feeling,” she wrote, accompanied by a GIF of her doing a hair flip on a red carpet.

The two battled on social media last year when DMs from the late Caroline Flack, the Love Island host who died by suicide back in February of 2020, sent to Piers came into focus.

Jameela later addressed the months of hate she received due to Piers Morgan releasing private DMs between himself and Caroline that referenced Jameela. He also took aim at claims about Jameela‘s health, which she clapped back at as well.

Sharon Osbourne Defends Piers Morgan: 'I Stand By You'

You can see the video of him storming off set right here.

Now, it appears as if he has at least one supporter in The Talk‘s Sharon Osbourne.

Some backstory: The 55-year-old was co-hosting on Good Morning Britain on March 9 when his co-host Alex Beresford confronted him.

“I understand that you don’t like Meghan Markle. You’ve made it so clear a number of times on this program—a number of times,” Alex said. “And I understand that you’ve got a personal relationship with Meghan Markle or had one and she cut you off. She’s entitled to cut you off if she wants to. Has she said anything about you since she cut you off? I don’t think she has but yet you continue to trash her.”

Piers got up and left at this moment, saying, “OK, I’m done with this. Sorry. No. Sorry. You can trash me mate, but not on my own show. See you later. Sorry, can’t do this.”

If you don’t know, Piers claims to have been friends with Meghan back in 2015. They apparently hung out in 2016 during the same trip where she went on her first date with Prince Harry.

Piers Morgan Storms Off Live TV After Being Called Out for Meghan Markle & Prince Harry Comments (Video)

Piers Morgan has spent the past few years repeatedly slamming Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, yet today on his morning show he stormed off set when called out for just a few moments.

The 55-year-old was co-hosting on Good Morning Britain on March 9 when his co-host Alex Beresford confronted him.

“I understand that you don’t like Meghan Markle. You’ve made it so clear a number of times on this program—a number of times,” Alex said. “And I understand that you’ve got a personal relationship with Meghan Markle or had one and she cut you off. She’s entitled to cut you off if she wants to. Has she said anything about you since she cut you off? I don’t think she has but yet you continue to trash her.”

If you don’t know, Piers claims to have been friends with Meghan back in 2015. They apparently hung out in 2016 during the same trip where she went on her first date with Prince Harry.

“She met Prince Harry at the dinner that night, went on a solo date with him the next night, and I never heard from her again,” Morgan wrote in 2018. “Not a word. I’d been ghosted.”

Piers was also called out another time this week for his comments about the former royals.

Dr. Shola Mos-Shogbamimu Slams Piers Morgan on Live TV Over Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Comments

Piers Morgan is getting called out for his comments about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s tell-all interview with Oprah.

In the 2-hour special, Meghan revealed that members of the royal family had made comments about her son Archie‘s skin color and addressed the rumors that she had made Kate Middleton cry.

Piers called the show an “absolutely disgraceful betrayal” and disputed the couple’s claims that racism had driven them from the royal family.

Dr. Shola Mos-Shogbamimu joined Piers to discuss the interview on Good Morning Britain and the conversation got very heated.

“Listen, you might learn something,” Dr. Mos-Shogbamimu told Piers. “The royal family is an institution rooted in colonialism, white supremacy, and racism. The legacy is right there. So you’re now surprised that a comment would have been made by several members of the royal family about how dark Archie’s skin is.”

She ignored Piers‘ attempts to interrupt her and continued, “Let me finish. You’re more outraged that Harry and Meghan had the audacity to speak their truth than at the actual outrage of racism.”

Piers replied, “I think what you just said about the queen is disgusting.”

“You are disgusting!” Dr. Mos-Shagbamimu shot back.

When Piers asked if Dr. Mos-Shogbamimu thought it was funny that Meghan and Harry continued their interview after Prince Philip had been hospitalized, Dr. Mos-Shogbamimu responded, “No, what I don’t think is funny is the fact that you are such a disappointment. I wish to God one day you would surprise me. You constantly use your platform as a wealthy, white, privilege man with power and influence…”

“Oh what a load of nonsense,” Piers interrupted.
