Ariana Grande Fans Skewer Piers Morgan After Insensitive Manchester Comments
Leave it to Piers Morgan to stir up some drama. On Thursday, he called out Ariana Grande for not visiting her injured fans after the Manchester attack.
Earlier this week, Queen Elizabeth visited the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital and showed her support to the young victims. Katy Perry was touched by Her Majesty’s gesture and tweeted, “God bless The Queen and her kind heart.”

Morgan wrote back, “Agreed. Might have been nice if Ariana Grande had stayed to do the same.”
Agreed.
Might have been nice if @ArianaGrande had stayed to do the same. https://t.co/s4ibBma3IQ— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) May 25, 2017
Not surprisingly, this started a Twitter war between him and Ariana’s fans, who were not happy with the host’s insensitive comment.
@piersmorgan @ArianaGrande The saddest thing about this all is the amount you’re milking a terrorist’s attack for personal gain. Do you sleep at night ok?

@pokeefe1 @piersmorgan @ArianaGrande He doesn’t get that Ariana Grande was in the exact horrendous situation as her fans. Easy to judge when not directly involved

One fan called out Morgan and asked, “I wonder how Piers Morgan, the valiant, honorable and brave man, would have reacted in her situation.” Sadly, Morgan isn’t sorry one bit. He quickly replied, “I can 100% guarantee you I would stay and visit those who had been killed or wounded watching me perform.”
I can 100% guarantee you I would stay & visit those who had been killed or wounded watching me perform. https://t.co/GWTlG7jN48
