Piers Morgan slated for criticising Ariana Grande following Manchester attack

Homenews

Too far this time?

Following the attack at her concert in Manchester on Monday, Ariana Grande tweeted: "broken. from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don't have words." Likely traumatised by the events, she flew home to Florida to recover. In addition to the outpouring of love and support for the victims of the attack, Grande has also been shown support in the wake of Monday's events. Most people would agree that if your concert was the subject of a terrorist attack, you might be entitled to some time to grieve for your fans and recover. Her suffering cannot be compared to that of the victims, of course, but there's no sense in comparing suffering anyway. However, some feel that Grande should have stayed in the country and visited her fans in hospital. One of those people would be Piers Morgan. Responding to a tweet from Katy Perry in which she praised The Queen's visit to a hospital, Morgan said: "Might be nice if @ArianaGrande had stayed to do the same." https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/867834266851434496 Morgan is not the only one expressing this sentiment, but he's certainly one of the most high-profile people to do so. As such, he has been barraged with tweets condemning his position. https://twitter.com/_CarltonCole9/status/867840737077063682 https://twitter.com/ndutton13/status/867843604680769536 https://twitter.com/Callux/status/867841562658648065 https://twitter.com/pokeefe1/status/867844446540496897 https://twitter.com/theyearofelan/status/867863904663162880 https://twitter.com/shehnazkhan/status/867872467318038528 https://twitter.com/SinbadBrookie/status/867839672915030016
