Piers Morgan, who on Monday in his latest line of attack on Meghan Markle, dismissed allegations of racist treatment at the hands of the British royal family, burst onto the set of his own “Good Morning Britain” program on Tuesday. after being called by fellow Alex Beresford for his relentless criticism of the Duchess of Sussex.
“OK. I’m done with that. I’m sorry. No, I’m sorry. You can sweep me mate, but not on my own show,” Morgan told Beresford as he walked away.
Beresford, commenting on the bomb revelations from Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey and criticizing Morgan’s subsequent attacks on the couple, had noted how the couple had dealt with “an overwhelming amount of negative press” in recent years. years that had been “incredibly damaging.” ”To his mental health.
“I hear Piers say that William has gone through the same thing, but you know what, the brothers are going through a tragedy in his life and one will be absolutely fine and he will be eliminated and the other will not be able to deal with him so strongly and that is clearly what has happened to Prince Harry in this situation, “the GMB weather forecast said.
“He walked behind his mother’s coffin at a tender and tender age in front of the world. That will make him a boy for the rest of his life, ”Beresford continued. “So I think we all need to take a step back.”
Beresford addressed Morgan:
“I understand you don’t like Meghan Markle. You have made it so clear several times in this program. A number of times. And I understand you have a personal relationship with Meghan Markle or you had one and she cut you off. He has the right to cut you if he wants. Has he said anything about you since he cut you? I don’t think she did, but you still sweep her.
At that moment, Morgan got up and left.
Beresford said it was “pathetic.”
“This is absolutely diabolical behavior,” he continued. “I’m sorry, but Piers explodes regularly and we all have to sit there and listen. Yesterday from 6.30 to 7 o’clock it was incredibly difficult to see, incredibly difficult to see.
The show broke down. Morgan later returned and told Beresford that they needed to “talk to each other in a civilized way since we work on the same program on the same team.”
“Throwing yourself into a personally derogatory monologue with one of your colleagues is probably not one of the best ways to do it,” Morgan added. “As much as I’d like to sit here, taking abuse from you for hours and hours, that won’t happen.”
“I’m not trying to get involved in this program and tear you down, tear you apart,” Beresford replied. “Just because we’re on the same side doesn’t mean we have to have the same vision.”
“This whole situation is very personal to me and I am by no means accused of being racist,” he added. “I have the luxury of meeting you on and off screen and we have had conversations, I know where you are and I have great respect for you, Piers.”
“I’m sick of finding a different way to explain it not to you, but to so many people about why what’s been said is so wrong,” Beresford later added. “I’ve entered institutions as the only person of color and I’ve experienced covert and open racism on so many occasions and the reason Meghan’s interview resonates with me is that a former co-worker (not on this show) “He asked me if I was worried about the shadow of cocoa coming out of my son. So I fully understand the pain behind it all.”
