The television personality published a report in the UK paper <em>The Mail on Sunday\u00a0<\/em>blaming &#8220;insidious woke cancel culture&#8221; for his resignation and furthermore claiming he is not a racist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI expected such disingenuous, self-serving wrecking-ball stuff from a social-climbing Hollywood actress like Ms Markle, but for Harry to publicly shred his family and the Monarchy like this, while Prince Philip was seriously ill in hospital, is so out of character for a man who once bravely served his Queen and country in war,\u201d Morgan wrote at the beginning of his column.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING: The REAL truth.<br \/>My exclusive article for tomorrow&#39;s Mail on Sunday about <br \/>Meghan, Oprah, Sharon, Susanna, GMB, racism and a shocking assault on freedom of speech. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YFRukUamYh\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/t.co\/YFRukUamYh<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kJv2DpjpXl\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/kJv2DpjpXl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/piersmorgan\/status\/1375936067430408194?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">March 27, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Amid <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/meghan-markle-oprah-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Markle&#8217;s tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey<\/a>, the Duchess of Sussex admitted she became suicidal. It was also revealed that Buckingham Palace had allegedly questioned the color of Archie&#8217;s skin color before birth. Following the interview, Morgan has fiercely questioned the truth on both claims.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt appears that questioning Meghan\u2019s fork-tongued \u2018truth\u2019 is now a racist hate crime,\u201d Morgan continued to write citing he was called a racist after he had left\u00a0<em>GMB.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The day after Morgan claimed Markle had lied in the interview, the ex-host explained he brought on the biracial weather broadcaster Alex Beresford to debate on the previous morning&#8217;s comments. The heated on-air argument &#8211; described as a \u201ccensorious lecture\u201d by Morgan &#8211; prompted him to walk off the set. The ITV Network responsible for <em>GMB <\/em>explained he needed to apologize before he returned. Morgan wrote that in doing so for something he didn&#8217;t believe in was not the &#8220;essence of freedom of speech.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd even if I did apologize, that wouldn\u2019t be the end of it. The woke brigade would keep coming for me, demanding I apologize for everything else they find offensive \u2013 which of course, is absolutely everything,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Emily Ratajkowski has been widely criticized by the host in the past as has actress Jameela Jamil. She took to Twitter following Morgan&#8217;s resignation to reveal <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/jameela-jamil-piers-morgan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">she nearly killed herself<\/a> due to the man&#8217;s &#8220;relentless campaign of lies and hatred against me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">TW: suicide<\/p>\n<p>I almost killed myself a year ago because of Piers Morgan\u2019s relentless campaign of lies and hatred against me last February.
