Piers Morgan targeted by One Direction fans after Twitter spatPiers Morgan should know better than to start a war with One Direction.Because if you fight with 1D, you have to take on their fans, too.
It all started when Piers made a cutting comment about 37-year-old footballer David Beckham's decision to leave LA Galaxy.
Piers, 47, tweeted: "No serious top flight team would sign Beckham for football reasons any more - he should retire gracefully." One Direction boy Harry Styles - who's a keen footballer - caught sight of Piers' cutting remark and felt the urge to respond and stick up for Becks.
Piers then quipped: "Is that because he always runs in one direction?"
Harry's band mate Louis Tomlinson, 20, soon got involved: "I LOVE David Beckham!", prompting Piers to reply: "Well sign him up for the group - bet he sings better than he plays now."
Harry decided it was about time he got some support on his side - and so decided to turn to Syco boss Simon Cowell, responsible for 1D's rise to fame since "X Factor" 2010.
He wrote: "Hiiii @SimonCowell can you tell @piersmorgan to leave us alone please? He's being nasty.." Piers posted: "Can't believe I'm currently being sledged about Beckham by TWO members of One Direction. Boy-band types clearly stick together." He then admitted he was being abused by "roughly 25 million One Directioners".
Piers then posted a string of jokily abusive comments directed at the band, though he decided to leave Zayn Malik, 19, and Niall Horan, 19, out of the argument. He wrote: "My Twitter feed is erupting like a volcano, and rather like @Harry_Styles @Real_Liam_Payne @Louis_Tomlinson - it ain't pretty." He added: "Great to see that so many One Directioners genuinely think I'm better looking than @Harry_Styles @Real_Liam_Payne @Louis_Tomlinson - thanks!" Piers gained 11,000 followers in one-hour as a result of the spat, before challenging the boys to settle the argument on his CNN show, "Piers Morgan Tonight," when they are in New York. |
