Piers Morgan walked out of a heated interview with controversial influencer Harrison Sullivan, aka HSTikkyTokky, whose inflammatory rhetoric was spotlighted in Louis Theroux’s Netflix documentary “Inside the Manosphere.”
In Theroux’s documentary, Sullivan is seen chanting antisemitic slurs on the streets of Spain and promoting misogynistic and homophobic views. During the interview, as Morgan called out Sullivan’s rhetoric as homophobic, Sullivan fired back by attempting to discredit him, claiming he had been referenced in files related to Jeffrey Epstein and insinuating he had visited his private island.
“This is about misogyny and everything like this,” Sullivan said as the interview spiraled into a shouting match.
Morgan denied any connection to Epstein, saying “I never met the man, never went to his island. I met Ghislaine Maxwell for five minutes at a book launch.” He added: “If I say this very respectfully, I don’t think you’re very well informed about things like that … Stop making yourself look like an even bigger idiot than you did in the Netflix show.”
The situation reached a breaking point when Sullivan started mocking and insulting Morgan’s wife, the journalist and author Celia Walden.
“Here’s what I think about you,” Morgan said before walking out. “I watched the documentary. I think you’re a fucking idiot. I think you’re a sexist, misogynist, homophobic twerp who got exposed — who got exposed in a global way by Netflix, by Louis Theroux, for what you are.”
He continued, “You’re a little halfwit… But there’s no point me wasting my time talking to you, is there? You know what, I’m not doing this. Sorry, guys, it’s pointless.”
The heated exchange hasn’t yet been posted on Morgan’s YouTube channel, but Sullivan posted it on his Kick account. Representatives for Morgan did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment.
Theroux’s “Inside the Manosphere” launched on Netflix on March 11.
