Piers Morgan is no stranger to controversy! The 52-year old British journalist has done the same in the past as well and courted controversy. His latest ‘subtle’ slay at Virender Sehwag highlights his nagging nature or call it ‘delusional’. India Women lost to hosts England by 9 runs, allowing the English eves to lift the crown for the fourth time. When all of the world was congratulating Mithali Raj-led team India for a remarkable performance in the finals, despite being ranked seven, Morgan took a different stance. For no reason at all, Morgan poked fun at Virender Sehwag asking him in a sarcastic manner, “You…OK”! We ask was that necessary? No, we feel!
It was not the first time he got entangled into a controversy. It has happened with him in the past as well. Here’s proof. He is a serial offender. Remember the JK Rowling row he got into for no reason at all or getting hammered for his anti-Women March tweets. Yes, there is a long list of controversies surrounding Piers Morgan and his controversies.
In this piece, we introduce you to his most controversial tweets and the ones that sparked a controversy. Here are the best of them starting with his latest dig at Virender Sehwag.

Morgan’s WEIRD response:
Right, time for a beer.
Luvvie-slaying is thirsty work. __— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) February 12, 2017
3. Piers Morgan INSENSITIVE towards Anti-Women March (involves Ewan McGregor)
Was going on Good Morning Britain, didn’t realise @piersmorgan was host. Won’t go on with him after his comments about #WomensMarch
— Ewan McGregor (@mcgregor_ewan) January 24, 2017
Imagine if there were a load of men-only marches today?
The feminists would go crackers.— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 21, 2017
I’m planning a ‘Men’s March’ to protest at the creeping global emasculation of my gender by rabid feminists. Who’s with me?
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 21, 2017
Let’s be honest, ladies.. today’s Women’s March is just an anti-democratic protest at Trump winning the presidency.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 21, 2017
These tweets were followed by heavy trolling by trollers who smashed him left, right and centre.
4. Spat with Emma Watson
This is the part of my 2014 interview with Tavi where we talked about Beyonce. My words are in bold. pic.twitter.com/Y8vumOeyDT
— Emma Watson (@EmmaWatson) March 7, 2017
Morgan’s RESPONSE:
OK. So do you still feel ‘conflicted’ about Beyoncé’s use of sexy videos to promote her feminism? https://t.co/AJN86wG6uo
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 7, 2017
While Emma has not responded to Piers, he has continued to respond to fans who have tried to defend the actress.
I read it all yesterday. I think Emma needs to work out what she finds conflicting re feminism & nudity. https://t.co/jB6pFjn0mT
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 7, 2017
It’s Emma who is dictating how other women should behave re feminism & nudity, not me. https://t.co/zt6v8SrURT
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 7, 2017
5. Taking a subtle jibe at Sachin Tendulkar:
If India can produce a batsman as brilliant as @sachin_rt then it can produce Gold medal winning Olympians. Needs investment & focus.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) August 24, 2016
Only trending in Silver place?
Not happy.
Come on #India, get me to Gold. pic.twitter.com/DMY47BsvX9— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) August 24, 2016
