Piers Morgan Blames Celebrities For Making Mental Health Issues ‘Fashionable’, Sophie Turner Teaches Him A Stark Lesson
At this point no one’s surprised to see Piers Morgan in the news, being dragged for one inappropriate comment or another. We’ve already seen him getting blasted for criticizing Daniel Craig. And criticizing is putting it softly, as Morgan went out of his way to mock James Bond himself for carrying his daughter in a baby carrier, stating that it’s ’emasculating’. And before that drama subsided he managed to slip right into another, taking a shot at David Beckham. Piers Morgan called the football star creepy for kissing his daughter, and people weren’t exactly on his side. This time the TV personality turned his head not to a single person, but to an entire group of people.
It’s no surprise that Piers Morgan is being blasted for his comments yet again

The 53-year-old TV personality recently expressed a controversial opinion regarding mental health awareness and celebrities. He shared an article agreeing with Beverley Callard’s comments about mental illness becoming ‘fashionable’ and that famous people are promoting this idea to their fans.

Morgan’s tweet didn’t go unnoticed as many people replied, with comments varying from complete disagreement to some defending the TV presenter to an extent. However, one person decided to be very vocal and very clear about her stance on the matter. Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner went on a tweet spree to voice what dangers such comments on mental health might present.

Turner pointed out that celebrities using their status and promoting mental health awareness to their fans is no joking matter and expressed her belief that only people unaware of the struggles that those with depression go through would make fun of it. She also encouraged fans to share their experiences and keep the dialogue regarding mental health going, adding that people who are suffering are not alone and they have support.

Of course, Piers couldn’t resist replying once more, trying to clarify his stance on the matter. Unfortunately, it seems like in his eyes only Piers Morgan can judge which people are genuinely suffering and which are just ‘shirking reponsibility for normal life challenges’.
Some people went on to agree and thank Sophie for being a voice of reason in the conversation

I suffer from panic-attacks and anxiety. Since there's some sort of taboo on this subject, a lot of people think it's some made up thing. Don't get me wrong, i've got plenty of support, but there are also people (relatives) who think i made this stuff up and don't want to work. (Yes, they are THAT shallow) Now for a b-celeb to speak up like this, it feels like a kick in the nuts. But the big difference between people with mental health problems and this jerk; we can change ourselves and be proud of the, sometimes little, things we accomplish, while he will forever remain a f##ktard.
Not so many years ago I believed depression was a trend, something cool to say when you were sad. Later I learned how devastating it could be for many people and started to act consecuently to people who suffered it. Your relatives may not understand u, but hope they open their eyes soon. Have a nice day and life.

It's actually called normalising, not fashion. The isolation often felt alongside maladaptive symptoms can be decreased if others speak about similar experiences. Famous or not, stigma is prevalent and does impact those who suffer. I don't believe many people fake having mental conditions, and those who do are also unwell.
Better fashionable than stigmatized. I think we're a LONG way from people claiming fake illnesses because they think they'll be cooler that way. (In general. I'm not saying it's *never* happened, just that it's surely not "a thing".) We need to keep going in that direction!
The second I read the word 'snowflake' I stop reading. I have no further interest in anything that person has to say because (and I may be slightly judgemental here) I assume they have nothing intelligent to add.
Seconded but would also add the terms: virtue signalling, social justice warrior, cuck, PC handbook, PC agenda and any mention of George Soros "being behind something".

After reading the title (After Piers Morgan Implies That Celebrities Glamorize Mental Illness, Sophie Turner Responds) and the intro (reminding me of previous articles about him): What the hell is wrong with this guy!?! Does he *want* to ruin his public image and sabotage his career or something? ... and things went downhill from there at least in regard to any image I may have had about Piers Morgan
Any publicity, good or bad, is publicity non the less. Check out Private Parts, Howard Stern's movie, and watch the ratings scene, you'll understand a little more then. And yes, he's a tool also. Have a nice day, owls rock!

Piers Morgan took Roger Stone's advice to Donald Trump to heart. "If they don't talk about you, you're nothing." Unfortunately he has a platform and he attracts attention. Deep down inside we all know he's just a little boy with big man issues. It must be amazing to be that hated and still think that you are the most loved person in the world. A true narcissist. Ok next topic.
We all thought Robin Williams was okay till we learned how horribly wrong we were. You can mock an illness because you don't fully understand it or how it changes a person mentally and physically, but the pain is still real. Regardless if you're someone who has autism or Down's syndrome, making fun of it so others don't feel bad for thinking it is still really f*****g painful. Soph is on point. Stigmas and paradigms need to shift, no matter how uncomfortable it makes us, ill or not. A healthy dialogue needs to happen because there are a lot of people suffocating themselves to fit in.
All this from a guy whose parents named him after the place they park their boat. Must have been conceived there. A day later and he might have been named Kitchen Table Butter Dish.
I think it is helpful when celebrities/famous people feel able to speak openly about their mental health problems. If 1 in 4 people suffer mental illnesses at some point, it follows that 1 in 4 celebrities will also - particularly considering their normal lives sometimes have little connection to reality. Also it reminds ordinary people and fans that the people they admire/worship and the celebrity lifestyle may not be as perfect as they appear. Dont criticise these people for admitting to the world (not just family and friends) that in some areas they are as human as the rest of us.
Spoiler: diane a IS '1 in 4' but you'd never be able to make her believe it.

I have mental health issues and sometimes the only way to deal with them is to make jokes about them. I think Piers Morgan needs to keep his mouth shut and stop speaking on things he knows little about. I don't care what celebrities have mental illness because as far as I am concerned there is nothing fashionable about crying your eyes out or screaming at your loved ones when you are having a mental breakdown.
*this concept is only offensive to special snowflakes* piers you absolute walnut what the f**k
I love how he calls people snowflakes, referencing a movie/book that is a satire about toxic masculinity and people like Piers Morgan...
This isn't a hard concept. Punch up, not down. Don't punch at suffering people; punch at idiotic blowhards. If you're a suffering person, you can punch at your illness. If you're not a suffering person, you can't punch at someone who is. This isn't hard.
If I was Piers Morgan, I'd take 'twat' as a compliment compared to the many other things he could be called.
Depression is the second biggest killer in Affluent Europe and America. I wonder who these people are 😒
But he is a twat. Just like humans need oxygen to breathe. I don't get his comment.
What a D**K!!! All my hackles went up at this. F**K YOU!!! YOU are the reason that suicide happens every forty seconds. Snowflakes my a*s.
The problem with P**s Morgan (.and no thats is how you pronounce his name ) is that he has MENTAL Problems only he’s the only one who doesn’t know he’s got them. He also has Foot and Mouth Decease...every time he opens his mouth he puts his foot in it....What A zFucking D******d......
Let's face it both have a point. In the years to come I won't be surprised "feeling offended" to become an illnes of some sort. People these days are in the most part "snowflakes" s****y ones, but still "snowflakes" and everything surrounding them is hurtful, and eventually goes in to depression or something. 60 years ago people were dying at age 16 fighting for a better future and nowadays we are ready to end our own lives for some hurful words. What a waste of lives... You have a problem? Buckle up and sort it out, don't run from it with some kind of justification.
Are you suggesting that you’d prefer 16 year olds to be killed than for future generations to talk about their mental illness??? That is a really messed up set of priorities my gal.

I have mental health issues and I agree with piers. I'm sick. That's it. Stop making sickness fashionable. It's not something you should want. It doesn't make you interesting. It's an issue that will hopefully get fixed. Stop bragging about your depression.
Mental illness effects everyone differently how vocal about it you are is no meaningful metric.
