A Fiery Showdown on Social Media

In a renewed battle on social media, legendary comedian John Cleese and controversial broadcaster Piers Morgan have ignited tensions following Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension and Donald Trump’s visit to the UK.

Cleese and Morgan, both notorious for their online brawls, found themselves at odds as the week unfolded. Morgan accused Kimmel of dishonesty regarding a tragic incident involving Charlie Kirk, stating that Kimmel claimed the so-called 'MAGA gang' was trying to distance themselves from the murderer.

The Hypocrisy Debate

Responding to Morgan’s assertion, Cleese fired back with a scathing remark about Morgan’s ties to Rupert Murdoch, highlighting his lucrative career under Murdoch’s media empire. In a retort, Morgan shot back, calling Cleese a "flaming old hypocrite", pointing out that Cleese had also profited from working with Murdoch.

This wasn’t the duo’s first heated exchange. Earlier in the year, Cleese criticized Morgan for his support of Murdoch amidst a privacy scandal involving Prince Harry. Morgan countered by slamming Cleese’s past work with Murdoch-owned studio 20th Century Fox, calling into question the comedian's claims of having distanced himself from the media mogul.

Mocking Trump’s Fanboy Moment

The drama continued as Cleese targeted Morgan’s apparent eagerness to win over Trump during the former president's state visit. Cleese quipped about Morgan’s sycophantic praises for Melania Trump, likening her to a fashion icon reminiscent of Jackie Kennedy. He snidely remarked that if Morgan could no longer secure work from Murdoch, perhaps Trump would serve as a worthy replacement.

This latest feud reflects ongoing tensions in the worlds of politics and entertainment, showcasing how personalities like Cleese and Morgan continue to engage in public spats that captivate audiences and reveal deeper issues of integrity and accountability.
