Former Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan has unleashed a scathing response after Stephen Colbert addressed criticism over his jokes about Kate Middleton’s recent health struggles on “The Late Show” without issuing a direct apology.
During the March 25 episode of “The Late Show,” Colbert appeared remorseful as he acknowledged the controversy surrounding his previous jokes about Kate Middleton’s disappearance from public life before her cancer diagnosis was revealed.
Despite expressing regret and extending well-wishes to Middleton for her recovery, Colbert stopped short of issuing a formal apology.
In his column for the New York Post, titled “Sorry, hypocrite Stephen Colbert, your non-apology to Kate Middleton over vile slurs doesn’t wash,” Piers Morgan condemned Colbert’s response as hypocritical and inadequate.
Morgan criticized Colbert for failing to offer a genuine apology and dismissed his remarks as insincere.
