Piers Morgan body shames Kendall Jenner over Skims photoshoot, Internet asks if he's 'for or anti fat people'

While many were excited about the new Skims launch, the British broadcaster wasn't too happy that Kendall was in the mix

Recently, reality star Kim Kardashian took to her personal Instagram account to post a sequence of images that saw her two sisters -- Kendall and Kylie Jenner -- pose alongside her for a new Skims photoshoot. Skims, as described by their website, is Kim's "solution-oriented brand" that is "creating the next generation of underwear, loungewear, and shapewear." The carousel of images features the sisters posing for the photoshoot in both pictures and videos, with Kim announcing that this was the "sexiest" Skims collection till date and that the "Valentine's Edition" was set to drop on February 14, 2021.

While many were excited about the new Skims launch and posted comments congratulating the megastar on the debut and complimenting the sisters on their looks, it seems as though British broadcaster Pierce Morgan wasn't too happy that Kendall was in the mix. After he decided to post his opinion of the shoot on Twitter, it wasn't long before he was dragged through the mud by many users.

People were confused about Morgan's intention 

Morgan took to Twitter to post an image of the photoshoot that was initially posted by Kim Kardashian on her personal Instagram account. Along with the photo, he tweeted, "If I were Kim & Kylie, I’d stop being photographed with Kendall." Many were confused as to what the journalist meant by the comment, but many were enraged that he was commenting on the bodies of the Kardashian-Jenners. One user wrote, "I am confused is mutli-fat-flapped blubber mountain Piers Morgan for or anti fat people taking personal responsibility for their waddling?" Another user tweeted, "I think it's meant to mean she's too skinny or something but piers Morgan should not be worried about a young woman's body." "Why?? truly why? i do not get it whatsoever i literally cannot tell which one you're trying to insult bc this is so stupid !!!" tweeted yet another confused user.

Many defended the Kardashian-Jenners and took to Morgan's post, trolling him with offensive comments as well. One user wrote, "If I were Piers Morgan, I’d stop being photographed by anyone." People used the first part of Morgan's tweet "If I were," and went on to write things that they thought Morgan should do. One added, "If I were Piers Morgan I would jump in front of a bus." Another tweeted, "If I were piers Morgan I’d shut my face and crawl back to the little goblin hole I came from."

Some users gave Morgan heat for body shaming as well, with one user adamantly tweeting, "I am against cancel culture, but, on this occasion, i want to see Piers Morgan brought to heel on such a disgusting comment. As a personal trainer for 30 years I have had to put so many women back together after they've received comments like that." Another added, "Piers Morgan should be one of the LAST person to comment on looks. However, he would be one of the first in line to body shame females. He’s always been a twit." "Piers Morgan literally has the body of an old Christmas inflatable yard decoration and the face of a drunk Brit and he has the audacity to make comments about objectively beautiful women’s’ appearances," wrote another user.

This isn't the first time that TV personality Morgan has made harsh comments about big names - Prince Harry and Meghan Markle too have suffered the brunt of it. So, it seems as though some people weren't surprised at his outburst against the reality star sisters. "Ya’ll act surprised when Piers Morgan spurts hatred online to do with the Kardashians, as if that isn’t what he has spent his entire career doing. Just because you think he said one ‘good’ thing during the whole of the pandemic, it doesn’t mean he’s a changed person," wrote one user. Another added, "But I’ve heard a lot of bad stuff about Piers Morgan so this doesn’t surprise me much."
