Good Morning Britain’s Piers Morgan didn’t hold back in his rant attacking celebrities
he thinks should be ashamed of themselves during this global crisis…
He went after everyone from Sam Smith to Kim Kardashian, and even Taylor Swift.
What’s up?
It’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News bringing you all the news updates from my
at-home Clevver studio and Piers Morgan just went in on a number of celebs for how they
have been acting during the coronavirus outbreak.
And seriously he did not hold back, he was slamming all of our faves left and right.
We’re gonna get into all of it, but first click subscribe and hit that bell so you never
miss any entertainment news update.
Alright so Piers has not been afraid to out people who he believes have been inappropriate
during the COVID-19 pandemic.
And he decided to slam 20 celebs all at once, in what he called an "idiot list" in his Daily
Mail column.
And if this list offends you well, he’s got an answer for that.
He went on to say quote, “I can’t take any more of this celebrity attention-seeking
bulls***.
Get a grip, the lot of you.
This is a war, not an Instagram story op.”
In particular he went in on both Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian for reigniting their years
old feud about Kanye West's lyrics about Taylor in his song Famous.
You all know by now that an extended version of the infamous video was leaked on Twitter
and both Kim and Taylor have spoken out about it since.
And Piers was NOT having it.
He told The Sun that quote, “No one gives a rat’s a**e about Kim’s latest barbs
with Taylor.
These people should be using their platforms to raise awareness about health workers and
the importance of staying at home, not for their own gain."
What Piers may have missed though is that both Kim and Taylor, aside from their feud,
have definitely been using their platforms for good over the past few weeks.
Even in Taylor’s story addressing the feud with Kim she linked to encourage her fans
to focus on more important things like donating to the World Health Organization.
She wrote quote, “The World Health Organization and Feeding America are some of the organizations
I’ve been donating to.
If you have the ability to, please join me in donating during this crisis.”
Taylor has also been helping fans directly by donating big lump sums of money to those
affected amid business closures due to the outbreak.
A few fans have taken to Twitter to express their shock and gratitude for Taylor who sent
them each $3,000 to help cover their upcoming bills.
And Kim has been vocal on social media as well asking her fans to listen to government
protocols and stay home.
She also recently announced that her company SKIMS is donating $1 million to families affected
by COVID-19.
So it looks like Piers may have not had ALL the information when he called them both “idiots.”
He didn’t stop there though, like we said, his rant included 20 celebrities.
Piers went in on Sam Smith and called them quote 'attention seeking' over their Instagram
'meltdown' posts.
Sam posted a series of photos captioned “Stages of a quarantine meltdown,” to their Instagram
last week.
And Sam’s meltdown comes after admitting they have been “bored s–tless” during
the health crisis.
Sam also went on to say that they haven’t been feeling great themself saying quote,
“I’m currently in my house.
I have got a bit of a headache and I have allergies but I think I’m alright.
But I wanted to stay in just to be safe.”
Again, while Piers called Sam attention seeking, Sam also said that they will sing and try
to help those in need as much as possible to pass the time.
And Sam has followed through with that promise posting a beautiful acapella version of their
song “How Do You Sleep?”
Sam captioned the video saying quote, “Hope everyone is keeping well and safe.
Sending love and strength to you all xx”
Some others that Piers tore into include Drake, Cardi B, Gal Gadot, Vanessa Hudgens, and even
Idris Elba, who contracted the coronavirus.
Piers went off about how Idris exposed the fact that A-listers were getting tested while
others couldn't.
So yeah, clearly he wasn’t holding back and fans have a lot to say about Piers’
rant.
They came forward and defended specific celebs rebutting what Piers said about them.
One person wrote quote, “@piersmorgan I get most of these, but Taylor Swift?
Why?
She didn't reignite the fued with Kim Kardashian, a phone call from way back got leaked.
That was it!
Also, last week she sent a struggling fan money because of the Coronavirus, but I guess
you don't want to acknowledge that!?”
Another said quote, “@piersmorgan while you might be right that celebs are oversharing
online, what else are we supposed to do right now?
how else can people connect if we aren't doing so online.
it's nice they are sharing with their fans. also Kim donated $1 million... you forgot
to mention that.”
Another wrote quote, “Have you been self isolating piers ???? Keep telling everyone
else what they should be doing hypocrite most of us have been following the governments
rules stop squawking every 5 minutes you’re worse than sam smith !!!!”
And another person wrote quote, “Piers you are shaming sam smith for showing emotion
and being emotional to the followers, plz do not shame people for being vulnerable during
this time.
THAT is dangerous.”
