Chrissy BLOCKS Piers Morgan over his take on Jennifer Aniston’s essay
We all know there's no love lost between Piers Morgan and Chrissy Teigen, but it looks like the online feud as finally come to a head after the Sports Illustrated model finally blocked the Good Morning Britain host on Twitter today.
After penning an opinion piece on Jennifer Aniston's recent thought-provoking essay, Piers suggested that despite the fact he has enormous respect for the Friends actress, he can't help but feel she – in some ways – contributes to the unrealistic pressures placed on women in today's society.
"It’s this: female stars like Jennifer Aniston deliberately perpetuate the myth of ‘perfection’ by posing for endless magazine covers which have been airbrushed so much that in some cases the celebrity is virtually unrecognisable," he argued.

And it seems his piece for the Mail Online was the last straw for Chrissy who tweeted: "@piersmorgan saw your piece on Jennifer Aniston. Why do you ALWAYS take the road of being the piece of s**t a**hole?"
"Particularly with women and people of colour. Tell me it's just for clicks? Please tell me you aren't TRULY this vile," she added.
Ugh that tweet would have been so great if he weren't such a horrible human being #delete

"Morning, Ms Teigen. You didn't actually read it did you…?" Piers responded. "Try doing that before throwing another diva tantrum."
In a break from the norm, it looks like social media users were with Piers on this one, with one Twitter user writing: "I'd usually side with you, but he's right on this one."
I read every one of @piersmorgan's columns, don't always agree, but have NEVER seen any hint of misogyny or racismhttps://t.co/SKHhal7x72

"Please don't tell anyone, but I sorta see @piersmorgan 's point on this one," added one while someone else tweeted: "I am a woman and I absolutely agree with @piersmorgan on his new column. How can we preach body positivity & then edit out flaws?"
While debate raged back and forth online, Piers realised Chrissy had taken one very big step, and informed his followers: "And… she's blocked me. Hahaha. It was fun @chrissyteigen – come back when you can handle adult debate."
Ding, ding, ding!
