Piers Morgan storms off own show after 'Manosphere' influencer brings up his wife in heated clash
Updated . First published at
Piers Morgan cut the feed on his own live interview after a "Manosphere" influencer made a comment about his wife.
Morgan, 60, was less than 20 minutes into a chat with controversial TikTok star Harrison Sullivan, 24, also known as HSTikkyTokky, on his Piers Morgan Uncensored show when the fiery exchange happened.
The journalist was probing the influencer about his comments in Louis Theroux's Inside The Manosphere documentary, where Sullivan said he would "disown" his son if he came out as gay.

Morgan rightfully called out the homophobic comment, but the heated argument then took an odd turn.
"I wouldn't say I'm homophobic... what I do with my children is up to me," Sullivan told Morgan, before making a false claim about Morgan.
"I don't agree with you going to Epstein's island..." Sullivan added, clearly trying to frustrate Morgan.
"I've never been to Epstein's Island, just to be clear. Never met the man, never went to his Island," Morgan responded.

Their clash went on, before Morgan snapped.
"I couldn't care less about your silly little insult. It's like a two year old," he said.
At one point, he even told Sullivan: "Here is what I think about you.
"I watched the documentary, and I think you're a f--king idiot.
"I think you're a sexist, misogynist, homophobic twerp who got exposed in a global way by Netflix, by Louis Theroux, for what you are. You're a little halfwit..."
Sullivan then brought up Morgan's wife, who he's been married to since 2010, flashing one of her pool Instagram posts on screen.
The photo from 2022 showed Ms Walden relaxing next to a sign that read: "Wanted: Pool Boy". Her caption read, "Applications now open."
"As soon as you're away – what is this? 'Applications are open?' That's your ting, bro. That's your girl. Cooked," Sullivan said in an attempt to hurt Morgan.
"Let's end this, please. I'm not doing this, guys, it's pointless," Morgan replied, before cutting the interview off and walking off set.

Afterwards, Sullivan was seen laughing on screen.
Sullivan was one of the faces at the centre of Theroux's latest documentary Inside the Manosphere, which investigates the online subculture of "alpha male" influencers who promote a lifestyle of extreme masculinity, wealth, and traditional gender hierarchies.
The film explores how these creators – including HSTikkyTokky and Sneako – —monetise the insecurities of young men by selling them "red pill" ideologies that often involve deep-seated misogyny and toxic social values.
