"A masterclass on how to take down a bully." The best reactions to Piers Morgan leaving Good Morning Britain.

This post deals with suicide and might be triggering for some readers. 

On Wednesday morning, it was announced divisive talk show host Piers Morgan was leaving Good Morning Britain, following controversial remarks he made about Meghan Markle. 

On Monday's episode, Morgan and his co-hosts discussed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey. And during the conversation on-air, Morgan disputed Markle's claims she went to Buckingham Palace for help, after she started experiencing suicidal thoughts.

"Who did you go to?" he said. "What did they say to you? I'm sorry, I don't believe a word she said, Meghan Markle. I wouldn't believe it if she read me a weather report."

In response, Morgan's co-host Alex Beresford called out his ongoing attitude towards Markle. 

"I understand that you don't like Meghan Markle," Beresford said. "You've made that so clear a number of times on this program. A number of times. And I understand that you've got a personal relationship with Meghan Markle or had one and she cut you off. She's entitled to cut you off if she wants to. Has she said anything about you since she cut you off? I don't think she has, but yet you continue to trash her." 

Morgan then stormed off the show's set.

Following Monday's episode, ITV faced enormous criticism, and later that evening, they released a statement announcing Morgan would not be returning to the breakfast show.

"Following discussions with ITV, Piers Morgan has decided now is the time to leave Good Morning Britain," the statement read.

"ITV has accepted this decision and has nothing further to add."

Piers Morgan has appeared to have an issue with the Duchess of Sussex for many years now. 

Since 2018 - when he wasn't invited to the couple's wedding - he's made comments about Markle both in articles and on-air. So this news announcing that he can no longer get away with these remarks, was sweet relief for many.

Here are the best Twitter reactions to Piers Morgan leaving Good Morning Britain.

It’s amazing that @piersmorgan calls himself a journalist when time and time again, he seems to have missed the women’s movement. Or any movement really. Another day, another racist old white man using his privilege to throw tantrums on TV.

TW: suicide

I almost killed myself a year ago because of Piers Morgan’s relentless campaign of lies and hatred against me last February. I’m glad I’m still alive today for many reasons. But watching him leave GMB today is right up there and has me feeling: pic.twitter.com/reygXIMhP9

This Piers Morgan situation is the perfect example of what happens to a woman when they reject a man and I think people need to stop downplaying how a simple rejection can end up in harassment and even murder. We’ve seen it happen before.

The best part of the Piers Morgan self-destructive meltdown is that the co-host who called him out on live TV was calm, methodical and thoughtful while also being completely savage. It was a masterclass on how to take down a bully.

Even if the only thing the Oprah interview accomplishes is Piers Morgan quitting his show, that will still be a win.

Piers Morgan dragged Meghan for years and he never took a step back. Less than 24 hours of having to deal with 1% of what she went through and he had to leave his show and resign. THE KARMA. pic.twitter.com/NCBdH1y5zv

Meghan Markle ghosted Piers Morgan after one dinner. Lived in his head rent free for years. And then got him fired without even trying. This is epic talent.

*deleted previous tweet that had "date."

Oprah taking out the monarchy and Piers Morgan in one swoop is giving me all the powerful woman vibes this week.
