Controversial broadcaster and journalist, Piers Morgan, has been awarded the Sports Journalist Association’s Scoop of the Year award for his conversation with Kristen Rinaldo.
During the event celebrating excellence in sports journalism, Morgan dedicated his win to Meghan Markle, acknowledging her role in the creation of talk TV.
The audience responded with a mix of boos and cheers as Morgan humorously compared himself to Hannibal Lecter at a vegan convention.
He expressed gratitude to Markle, stating, “Without her, there would be no talk TV or Piers Morgan uncensored.”
In his acceptance speech, Morgan also praised Cristiano Ronaldo, whom he interviewed in a highly explosive revelation about his departure from Manchester United.
Ronaldo claimed that the team had disrespected him, leading to his decision to part ways.
Despite winning 32 trophies, Ronaldo said he felt betrayed and like the black sheep.
Morgan described him as the greatest football player of all time.
Morgan shared how he and Ronaldo first connected, revealing that the football star had reached out to him on Instagram after watching a crime documentary Morgan had produced.
They subsequently met for an interview, which Morgan emphasized did not cost a penny, before expressing appreciation for traditional contracts.
During their conversation, Ronaldo criticized Manchester United for lacking empathy when he faced challenges fulfilling training commitments due to his three-month-old daughter being in the hospital.
He felt his explanation was doubted by the team’s bosses, leaving him hurt.
Morgan’s refusal to apologize to Meghan Markle for doubting her account of royal family life led to his departure from Good Morning Britain.
However, his popularity among the British public appears to remain intact.
Despite some boos from the audience, Morgan thanked his colleagues at TalkTV and Piers Morgan Uncensored, acknowledging their support during his 10 months on air.
Twitter users flooded Morgan’s account with messages of congratulations, including one from Ashaka Sherif II, who praised Morgan for his friendship and appreciation of Ronaldo.
The award win is sure to ignite further debate among critics and supporters, as social media platforms become abuzz with discussions about Morgan’s achievement.
As a prominent figure in journalism and broadcasting, Morgan’s acceptance speech will likely be remembered for some time.
