Ariana Grande Slams Piers Morgan After He Insults Her, Little Mix and Ellen DeGeneres

“i look forward to the day you realize there are other ways to go about making yourself relevant than to criticize young, beautiful, successful women for everything they do,” Ariana wrote.

Ariana Grande and Piers Morgan got into a full-blown Twitter war on Wednesday, after the British journalist threw shade at the singer, Ellen DeGeneres, Little Mix and Ariana’s mom, Joan.

It all began on Tuesday when Morgan used Ellen as an example of what he believed was a double standard that was sexist against men (see tweet below). Things took a turn for the worse when the “Good Morning Britain” host slammed Little Mix’s music video “Strip,” where the members of the girl group have harsh critical words written on their body. Morgan tweeted that Little Mix needed to “admit” that they “stole” the idea from a Dixie Chicks cover from the early 2000s.

Ariana’s mother Joan then lashed out at the controversial journalist on Wednesday morning.

“Honestly what is wrong with you @piersmorgan?” Joan tweeted. “Didn’t your mother ever teach you, if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say it! You came for @TheEllenShow yesterday which was disgraceful, she is an angel. @LittleMix today, did you ever hear of paying homage? And..well never mind”.

Morgan went on to clap back at Joan and claimed that she should be more concerned about Ariana using her “nudity” to sell records.

“Hi Joan, my mother taught me to speak my mind & never be afraid to express honestly held opinion. Ellen’s a hypocrite – and as for Little Mix, I’d just prefer they use their talent to sell records rather than their nudity. As your own daughter does…!”

It was at this point that Ariana chimed in and slammed Morgan for his comments.

“Ellen is an incredible & kind human being,” the singer wrote. “I use my talent AND my sexuality all the time because i choose to. women can be sexual AND talented. naked and dignified. it’s OUR choice. & we will keep fighting til people understand. i say this w all due respect but thank u, next.”

“keep fighting the fight divas @LittleMix,” she added. “Your sisters have your back.”

Ariana concluded, “Also @piersmorgan, i look forward to the day you realize there are other ways to go about making yourself relevant than to criticize young, beautiful, successful women for everything they do. i think that’ll be a beautiful thing for you and your career or what’s left of it.”

The “thank u, next” singer and former “Celebrity Apprentice” star continued to battle it out on Twitter. Ariana even brought in some visual aids — a partial nude photo of Morgan posing for an ad.

Morgan, however, seemed to only really care about his own popularity, later tweeting that he was the top trending topic on Twitter in the UK following his argument with Ariana.
