Piers Morgan doesn’t have the greatest track record when it comes to endearing himself to female celebrities — remember when Chelsea Handler ripped his balls off and fed them to him on his own show?

Well there’s no way he could’ve thought that wading in on the naked Kim Kardashian / Emily Ratajkowski selfie that leaked online last night would be a good idea, but he did it anyway.
Here’s the selfie if you’ve not seen it:

Here’s what Piers had to say about it:
Classy ladies. Real classy. https://t.co/DOG9gjP6z4

Oh Emily, enough of this nonsensical pseudo-feminist gibberish. If not for me, then for Emmeline. https://t.co/VuMgX6KWQW

I don’t know that it’s “slut-shaming” to suggest that maybe Kim Kardashian doesn’t need to get naked on social media every single day of her life, but Piers’s Tweets come off a little more hateful than that. That’s just what Piers Morgan does I suppose — he talks shit about people for a living, and Kardashian gets naked for a living. The perfect match for inconsequential Internet beef really.
