Piers Morganis standing firm in his controversial remarks aboutMeghan Marklefollowing his departure fromGood Morning Britain.
For more on Piers Morgan’s exit, listen below to the episode of PEOPLE Every Day.
“On Monday, I said I didn’t believeMeghan Marklein her Oprah interview. I’ve had time to reflect on this opinion, and I still don’t. If you did, OK. Freedom of speech is a hill I’m happy to die on,” Morgan wrote.
“Thanks for all the love, and hate. I’m off to spend more time with my opinions,” he concluded the tweet.
Morgan’s tweet was shared alongside a quote from Winston Churchill that read, “Some people’s idea of free speech is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone says anything back, that is an outrage.”
On Monday’s episode ofGood Morning Britain, Morgan said, “I don’t believe a word she says,Meghan Markle,” adding, “I wouldn’t believe it if she read me a weather report and that fact that she fired up this onslaught against our royal family, I think is contemptible.”

Despite the efforts, U.K. media regulator Ofcom launched an investigation after more than 41,000 people — including Meghan — wrote in to complain,according toVariety.
Morgan’s last straw occurred on Tuesday when co-host Alex Beresford told him, “I understand that you’ve got a personal relationship withMeghan Markleor had one and she cut you off. She’s entitled to cut you off if she wants to. Has she said anything about you since she cut you off? I don’t think she has, but yet you continue to trash her.”
Since the news of Morgan’s departure from the morning show, several stars have spoken out in support of the formerSuitsactress.

The actress went on to share that she had personally struggled with suicidal thoughts because of Morgan’s actions.
“I almost killed myself a year ago because of Piers Morgan’s relentless campaign of lies and hatred against me last February,” she said. “I’m glad I’m still alive today for many reasons.”
Communitystar Yvette Nicole Brown alsocalled out Morgan on Twitter, writing, “Well looky-here! The whiny, toxic got fired! Turns out when you walked off set after being called out on your BS you could’ve just kept walking on home, huh@piersmorgan?Oh, you stepped down? Well, I don’t believe you. See how that works? #TeamMeghan.”
