United Kingdom media regulator Ofcom has launched an investigation into comments made by “Good Morning Britain” host Piers Morgan about the former Meghan Markle after it received tens of thousands of complaints.

Speaking to Variety, an Ofcom spokesperson said, “We have launched an investigation into Monday’s episode of ‘Good Morning Britain’ under our harm and offence rules.”

Morgan on Monday said he did not believe Meghan’s account of her time in the royal family and of her mental health struggles.

Meghan said during her tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey that she struggled with suicidal thoughts while pregnant with her first child and said she did not receive help when she voiced her concerns to the palace.

6. Wasn't he fired from America media also? I know he walked away in GB. Probably before he could be

fired.

8. He won the Celebrity Apprentice.

The former officeholder likes him.

14. From Feb. 2014 Guardian:

"he replaced Larry King as the host of CNN's flagship 9pm talk show. But Piers Morgan Live has just been canceled – the last show will air in March."

7. Did I miss something? Is there a rule somewhere that this racist pos must believe something in

order for us mere peasants to believe that it is true?

If not, then my question. .for him and coke head, is , "who gives a flying fart in space (thank you, Lord Henry Dashwood) what you think or believe?"

9. Piers is a racist asshole.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I watched some of that Oprah interview and it made me sick. The British royal family is going to have hell to pay from the backlash for their horrible racism.

And I don't care at all, not one little bit, what Piers believes or does not believe.

Poor Meghan. Geez. Michelle Obama had to go through a lot of this too, and so did Barack. We have to end the racism.

10. You mean he cancelled himself? Haha what a racists jerk.

[Bev54]

11. Yes!!! Even if he is fired/quit investigate so his career is over.

[T_i_B]

15. Nobody thinks his career is over

He'll resurface somewhere. Most likely spouting bilge on the forthcoming "GB News" TV Channel that is planned as a UK version of Faux News.
