Storm of criticism against Piers Morgan: “Unacceptable”
Now Piers Morgan faces great criticism on his Instagram account, where he published a picture together with Fiona Harvey.
Many followers think it is immoral and wrong for Harvey to have his say.
“This is unacceptable and exploitative. Re-traumatizing Richard Gadd by giving his abuser and stalker a voice is a new ‘low’, even for you Piers. She is mentally unstable and needs medical help, not a platform! Come on, where is humanity?”, one person writes.
“I find this very disturbing,” wrote another person.
