'Just shut up!' Piers Morgan slams “deluded, self-obsessed” Johnny Depp and Amber Heard

express.co.uk:

Piers Morgan has questioned why the world should care about their exploits against the backdrop of financial inflation and a war in Ukraine.The 57-year-old Talk TV broadcaster ranted that he has no interest in hearing from the actor and actress as they begin their battle in a $50 million defamation case.

However, as both sides claimed to have been seriously physically and emotionally abused by each other, some Twitter users hit back that his stance trivialised domestic violence.When Amber and Johnny's love affair fell apart, the world heard a string of accusations of physical attacks and emotional torture, with both parties denying all all allegations against themThen, post-divorce, Amber spoke out in the Washington Post about sexual abuse she claimed to have suffered.Johnny responded by launching his defamation case, claiming that - although she did not mention him by name - he was directly implicated, which had damaged his reputation and deterred film industry bosses from offering him roles.Now the pair are in court in Virginia, USA, battling it out as Amber counter-sues him for the same reason.Yet Piers is enraged to see them "playing the victim", arguing that there are "millions of real victims" out there, suffering the effects of war crimes and coronavirus."They want us to reach into our hearts and feel sorry for two stinking rich, breathtakingly spoiled actors when mothers and babies are being bombed in maternity hospitals, refugees are being murdered by Russian rockets deliberately fired at them, and Holocaust survivors are being incinerated in their homes," Piers blasted.The former Good Morning Britain star pointed out that, in the USA, where the case is currently taking place, the Covid death toll is approaching.
