Piers Morgan Abandons Interview After Influencer Trolls Him

Piers Morgan recently walked off his show after a conversation with his guest, Harrison Sullivan, went downhill. The “manosphere” influencer brought up Morgan’s wife, Celia Walden’s, old pool boy joke. The topic came up after Morgan accused the influencer of acting like a two-year-old, which prompted Sullivan to bring up his wife’s topic, making Morgan visibly uncomfortable and leading him to end the show.

Piers Morgan concluded his interview with Harrison Sullivan midway through after the latter brought up his wife Celia Walden’s pool boy joke, which clearly didn’t sit well with the host. Before the conversation went awry, it was already tense, as Morgan blamed Sullivan for acting like a two-year-old, which the influencer didn’t take well.

Sullivan said, “Listen, sir, I don’t know why you come on and talk like you’re holier than thou. As soon as you’re away — what is this?” He then pulled out his iPhone and showed the camera screen a post of Morgan’s wife, Walden. In it, she is lying by a sign that reads, “Wanted: Pool Boy. No experience needed.” Her caption read, “Applications are now open.” Pointing out Morgan’s wife’s post, Sullivan added, “Applications are open? That’s your ting, bro. That’s your girl.”

Despite witnessing Morgan’s discomfort, Sullivan continued to display the post on screen, prompting the host to end the interview. Morgan said, “Alright, let’s end it. Let’s end this. Let’s end this, please,” before receiving a reply from the influencer, who quipped, “cooked.”

Morgan then made it clear that he could no longer continue the interview, calling it “pointless,” before walking away from his desk as the show’s promo image appeared. Meanwhile, Harrison Sullivan was seen laughing on the other side of the screen, adding that Piers Morgan could come back later and they could “chill out.”
