Piers Morgan Slams Gayle King For Being Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s ‘PR Mouthpiece’

Piers Morgan is coming for Gayle King: The ex “Good Morning Britain” host took to Twitter on Wednesday to slam the CBS host for acting as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s “PR mouthpiece” after she talked about the couple’s latest problems with the royal family.

“Hi @GayleKing — rather than acting as your Sussex friends’ PR mouthpiece to facilitate their ongoing public trashing of our Royal Family, how about doing your job as a journalist and ask them about all the lies they told in @Oprah’s interview?” Morgan tweeted. He then insisted, “America should hear THE truth.”

To keep you up to speed, Gayle, 66, recently shared on “CBS This Morning,” that she had a call with pals Harry and Meghan, revealing that Harry’s first chats with his dad, Charles, and brother, William, after the tell-all were “not productive.” She also said that “No one in the royal family has talked to Meghan yet.” That same Wednesday, Gayle took to her SiriusXM show and shared that the couple would have postponed the airing of their big Oprah interview had Harry’s then-ailing 99-year-old grandfather, Prince Philip, died.

Gayle King has not responded to Morgan’s tweet. But until then, check out the clip and let us know your thoughts in the comment box below:

Gayle King Says It Feels Like ‘Open Season’ On Black Men After Racial Incidents

Gayle King Says It Feels Like ‘Open Season’ On Black Men After Racial Incidents

During Tuesday’s broadcast of “CBS This Morning,” Gayle King appeared visibly shaken up on-air while viewing footage of two racially charged incidents that occurred over the weekend.

The first video showed the encounter between New Yorker Amy Cooper and Christan Cooper. The woman was walking her dog when Christan asked her to put a leash on her pet while in Central Park. While being confronted, Amy who is white can be seen calling the cops on Christan, who is black while falsely claiming that he was threatening her life. Following a wave of backlash, she was fired this Tuesday from her job.

The second video showed the heartbreaking moment a black man dies following his arrest on suspicion of forgery. A clip from the incident shows George Floyd being held down by a police officer who is pressing his knee down on the man’s neck. Floyd can be heard telling the police “I can’t breathe.” He eventually loses consciousness and later pronounced dead at a local hospital. Four of the officers involved in the Monday incident have been fired. “Once again I say thank goodness that there’s videotape,” said King after viewing the footage. “As the daughter of a black man and the mother of a black man, this is really too much for me today.” She went on to say,

“I’m still rattled by this last story and she’s practically strangling her dog to make these false accusations against another black man,” she continued, referencing the Minneapolis incident as well. “I’m still so upset by that last story where the man is handcuffed underneath a car where people are pleading he can’t breathe and we’re watching a man die.”

She added,

“So we go from that story to this story, where she falsely accuses a black man on television,” continued King. “I don’t even know what to do or how to handle this at this particular time. I know that this is … I am speechless. I am really, really speechless about what we’re seeing in television this morning. It feels to me like an open season and it’s not sometimes a safe place to be in this country for black men and today it’s too much for me.”

Amy Schumer Defends Gayle King Against Backlash Over Kobe Bryant Interview

Oprah and Susan Rice aren’t the only ones standing by Gayle King’s side. Actress and comedian Amy Schumer are now speaking out in support of the CBS This Morning anchor after she received heavy backlash over her latest interview about Kobe Bryant.

As we previously reported, Oprah shared that her good friend has been harassed and even received death threats for asking about Kobe Bryant’s sexual assault case during the interview with WNBA star Lisa Leslie. While most people have agreed that the question was uncalled for, there are folks defending Gayle and saying there is no need for any threats.

Amy Schumer feels the same way as she took to Twitter to sound off on all the hate against Gayle. She tweeted,

“I stand fiercely with @gayleking one of the most beloved journalists, mothers, and friends of our time,” Schumer wrote on Instagram Saturday. “However you feel about her interview, her receiving serious death threats is disgustingly unfair and unacceptable. Shame on you CBS for putting her in this position. #standwithgayle.” Schumer’s post was liked by model Ashley Graham.

Oprah Says Gayle King Is Not Doing Well After Receiving Death Threats Over Interview About Kobe Bryant

It’s safe to say that Gayle King is not everyone’s favorite host right now after her recent interview with Lisa Leslie, where she asked the WNBA star if she thought Kobe Bryant’s legacy is “complicated” because of his 2003 rape accusation.

Many people were disappointed that a question like that even came from Gayle. She even spoke out shortly after saying she was blindsided by the way CBS edited the interview but, wanted to touch on that topic to get a good answer out and finally put a nail on it.

While some people seem to understand Gayle’s intentions, many people are just not here for what she has to say. In fact, people are so mad that they have been sending her death threats, according to Oprah.

The actress and host went on the Hoda and Jenna show where she talked about how Gayle is dealing with all the backlash. An emotional Oprah said Gayle hasn’t slept in two days and because of the death threats, she has to beef up security.

Singer Billie Eilish Reveals She Almost Took Her Own Life: ‘I Didn’t Think I Would Make It to 17’

Grammy-nominated singer Billie Eilish sat down with Gayle King for The Gayle King Grammy Special, which aired Thursday, and opened up about her previous struggles with depression and mental health amid her newfound fame.

While speaking with King, the 18-year-old revealed that in 2018 she had spiraled into a depression and even had thoughts of taking her own life. Revealing that she used to self-harm, Eilish said, “I don’t want to be too dark but I genuinely didn’t think I would make it to 17. I didn’t ever think I would be happy again, ever.”

When King asked, “Did you think that you would do something to yourself?” Eilish simply responded, “Yeah.” The singer went on to explain, “I remember there was a window right there. And I, God. I remember crying because I was thinking about how the way that I was gonna die was I was gonna do it.”

She also admitted that’s the lyrics ‘I wanna end me” from her song “Bury A Friend” were about herself, “It was. It also rhymed. I was so unhappy last year. I was so unhappy, and I was so joyless.”

However, Eilish explained that she has been trying to connect and reach out to fans who are going through these same thoughts:

“I just grab them by the shoulders and I’m like, ‘Please take care of yourself and be good to yourself and be nice to yourself … don’t take that extra step and hurt yourself further and then you can’t take it back.’”
