Piers Morgan, 55, verbally attacked the Kardashian family following the announcement their reality show is coming to an end.
Discussing the news on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday, September 9, the host who went from being a friend of the Kardashians to a critic of theirs, said the show’s poor ratings must be the reason for the cancellation.
He went on to claim that Kim Kardashian would have been pleased by her husband, Kanye West’s recent mental health episodes as it would provide content for upcoming seasons if they had continued.
Bringing up the announcement that Keeping Up With The Kardashians is ending after 14 years, Piers pretended to be in tears over the cancellation as he and his co-host Susanna Reid looked back at a montage from the reality show.
Susanna Reid said the Kardashian clan look different now from when the show started in 2007 and Piers chipped in, “Could it be a plastic surgeon by any chance?”
He continued: “A bunch of very average looking dumbo bimbos have taken us all to the cleaners and made billions out of prancing around and doing this.
“They have taken us to the cleaners. Not a brain cell between them.”
Discussing Kim’s recent career change as she studies to become a lawyer, Piers scoffed: “She’s become a paralegal she tells us.
“She latches onto crowd pleasing stories of injustice. Nothing wrong with that, if she’d done that from the start we would all probably have more respect with her.”
Reflecting on their friendship and famous falling out, he said: “I got on fine with her at the start but I fell out with her when she got into that nonsensical stuff where she posed topless with Emily Ratajkowski and flipped the bird and said ‘look at us we’re feminists’. I thought ‘oh shut up’.
“From there it’s been a very long, tortuous journey. They’re not feminists. They’re just people making billions and showing us every tiny, slithering detail of their gory little private lives.
“They haven’t done this [cancelled the show] because they’re tired of showing us about their lives. It’s the ratings.”
Susanna brought up Kim Kardashian’s husband, Kanye West’s recent public mental breakdown and said it might be the reason for the show’s cancellation.
Susanna said, “I wonder if what Kanye’s been through they’ve had a moment of soul searching? That selling your personal life constantly is probably not a great idea.”
Piers replied: “No. It’s about the ratings. She had Kanye’s meltdown down as season 18!”
Mimicking Kim as he rubbed his hands with glee, he squealed: “Kanye’s having an episode, whap-a-woo that’s season 19 sewn up!”
Later in the show, Piers went on to brand the Kardashian clan “talentless” and “vacuous” in another scathing putdown.
