Piers Morgan stormed off set after telling a guest: “I think you’re a f**king idiot.” He participated in a live-streamed debate with social media influencer Harrison Sullivan, also known as HSTikkyTokky, but the discussion quickly fell apart. The 23 year old recently appeared in Louis Theroux’s<\/a> controversial Netflix documentary Inside The Manosphere.<\/p>\n

Broadcasting from the set of Piers Morgan<\/a>: Uncensored, the interview rapidly descended into mayhem with Sullivan provoking Piers with vulgar comments about his wife and questioned why the journalist “has a problem” with him. As Harrison tried to redirect the conversation back to the documentary, Piers responded, “Do you know what?<\/p>\n

“Here is what I think about you. I watched the documentary, and I think you’re a f**king idiot. I think you’re a sexist, misogynist, homophobic twerp who got exposed in a global way by Netflix, by Louis Theroux, for what you are. You’re a little halfwit.”<\/p>\n

When the influencer suggested Piers not to “get rattled”, attempting to dismiss the remarks, the presenter declared he had no further desire in continuing the exchange, reports the Express.<\/p>\n

The tense confrontation intensified as both men talked over each other, with Piers stating he “couldn’t care less about [Harrison’s<\/a>] silly little insults” and likening him to “a two-year-old”. The clash reached a climax when Harrison presented an image to the camera, claiming it depicted Piers’ wife. In retaliation, an evidently irate Piers directed his production team: “Let’s end this, please.”, reports the Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He subsequently stormed off the set, declaring: “I’m not doing this, guys, it’s pointless.” As he exited, Harrison remained on screen, chuckling at the unfolding situation. The contentious interview has yet to be aired on Piers’ show or disseminated through his X account.<\/p>\n
