Singer Ariana Grande ends Piers Morgan with an insight, and it goes viral in minutes
Singer Ariana Grande took down Piers Morgan and was hitting over 1,000 likes a minute for hours. She ended Morgan with an insight into his psyche after he began attacking women for showing skin:
also @piersmorgan, i look forward to the day you realize there are other ways to go about making yourself relevant than to criticize young, beautiful, successful women for everything they do. i think that’ll be a beautiful thing for you and your career or what’s left of it. 🖤

Initially, Morgan picked a spat with pop group Little Mix:
Hey @LittleMix – when are you going to admit you stole this idea from @dixiechicks? pic.twitter.com/dLRX2TMv2k

Then Morgan criticised them for what they were wearing:
Hi Joan, my mother taught me to speak my mind & never be afraid to express honestly held opinion.
Ellen's a hypocrite – and as for Little Mix, I'd just prefer they use their talent to sell records rather than their nudity.
As your own daughter does…! https://t.co/nCQAsIgoVG— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 21, 2018
“Next”
But it was all over for Morgan when Grande jumped into the ring:
Ellen is an incredible & kind human being.. I use my talent AND my sexuality all the time because i choose to. women can be sexual AND talented. naked and dignified. it’s OUR choice. 🖤 & we will keep fighting til people understand. i say this w all due respect but thank u, next. https://t.co/wSknRSlJN8

Then she danced on his grave:

The hypocrisy is real.
Insight
Grande implied Morgan acts out for attention. Indeed, ITV director of television Kevin Lygo has gushed over Morgan’s ability to generate ratings on Good Morning Britain:
The ratings are growing all the time, and everyone knows it’s on.
Lygo also said Morgan makes the show “loud and noisy and interesting and awake”. That’s fine, but it’s what Morgan uses to get attention that Grande takes issue with. As well as attacking women for showing their bodies, Morgan supports Donald Trump and fearmongers about people who are here through immigration.
Grande destroyed Morgan with grace. As the saying goes, check yourself before you wreck yourself.
