Piers Morgan blasts 'self-made billionaire' Kylie Jenner: 'She's as dim as a lump of bread'
According to the Forbes 2019 list on Tuesday, Kylie Jenner was named the youngest self-made billionaire. However, Piers Morgan seems to be in major disagreement with the title and slammed the beauty mogul in a rant on Wednesday's episode of 'Good Morning Britain'.
The 53-year-old claimed on Wednesday's 'GMB' that Kylie was only successful because of her older sister Kim Kardashian's sex tape which had sky-rocketed the family to fame and also landed the family their very own reality show. The youngest member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan is officially the youngest self-made billionaire of all time and has taken over the title from the founder of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg.
Piers Morgan told his co-host, Susanna Reid, "When you say self-made billionaire, I just thought she'd got it because her sister made a sex tape and that is why they all became hugely rich. If Kim Kardashian hadn't made that sex tape that then got leaked... She took ownership of it, made millions, and made a family franchise out of it... None of them would have ever been heard of. When you say 'self-made', her sister had sex with somebody, the tape got leaked, and the whole family cashed in."
"That I think is a more accurate account of this thrilling entrepreneurial story," he said before calling it, "a triumph against all adversity."
Even though Susanna and Kate Garraway attempted to defend Kylie, Piers further insulted the beauty mogul by saying that she "isn't even that good looking". "I would have her at number four on the list of Kardashians, and the ones above her aren't much better," he continued as Susanna gasped.
"I'm not being rude, the only hot Kardashian is Kendall [Jenner], the others... None of them are hot! If they weren't Kardashians, famous for the sex tape, they would not get into the average, top Croydon night club — and the bar is set pretty low in Croydon. Kendall is the only one you can honestly say is model quality, Kylie is as dim as a lump of bread," he said before labeling the whole Kardashian-Jenner family as "vacuous, talentless twerps".
Piers further shared, "We don't want young girls thinking the way to get on is to be a Kardashian because that's madness. Make a sex tape, make a billion — what kind of message is that? Especially with International Women’s Day coming up, is this what we’re celebrating?" In a shocking addition to his rant, he also referred to Kris Jenner as "a pimp" and said, "Good old Kris, well every pimp needs to make money. If you make money out of your daughter’s sex tape, what are you?"
"The only good thing of this is Kim will be seething. She made the sex tape, she owned the sex tape, she had to perform… Poor Kim, she put the yards in for the tape. Ray J, why have his siblings not become billionaires? It’s so unfair," he continued.
Kylie was awarded the title as a result of the success of her cosmetic brand Kylie Cosmetics after Forbes unveiled their annual billionaire's list. The mother of one owns a 100% stake in her brand and also has a separate income from endorsements and her family's reality TV show. She also boasts of an extremely impressive portfolio of real estate. Kylie attributes part of her fortune to her social media following which strengthened her customer base before she had made her first product.
