Ariana Grande had some strong words for Piers Morgan after the journalist launched a Twitter tirade on Wednesday against the U.K. girl group Little Mix and the singer’s mother, Joan Grande.
Joan Grande recently butted heads with Piers Morgan for jabbing at Little Mix over a photo shoot in which their bare bodies were covered with negative words.
Morgan criticized the promotional art for Little Mix’s upcoming album, “LM5,” calling the image a copy of a previous photo shoot done by the Dixie Chicks.
“Hey @LittleMix – when are you going to admit you stole this idea from @dixiechicks?,” Morgan tweeted.
Coming to Little Mix’s defense before criticizing Morgan for his previous remarks about talk show host Ellen DeGeneres. Joan Grande wrote: “Honestly what is wrong with you @piersmorgan ? Didn’t your mother ever teach you, if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say it! You came for @TheEllenShow yesterday which was disgraceful, she is an angel. @LittleMix today, did you ever hear of paying homage? And..well never mind.”
In retaliation, Morgan tweeted back: “Hi Joan, my mother taught me to speak my mind & never be afraid to express honestly held opinion. Ellen’s a hypocrite – and as for Little Mix, I’d just prefer they use their talent to sell records rather than their nudity. As your own daughter does…!”
Ariana Grande then stepped into the Twitter feud, writing: “also @piersmorgan, i look forward to the day you realize there are other ways to go about making yourself relevant than to criticize young, beautiful, successful women for everything they do. i think that’ll be a beautiful thing for you and your career or what’s left of it.”
Grande then wrapped things up by tweeting a photo of the 53-year-old journalist when he did a advertisement for Burger King’s body spray.
