Piers Morgan Provokes Controversy by Urging Guest to Use Racial Slur on Air

News summary

A recent episode of 'Piers Morgan Uncensored' sparked intense controversy when host Piers Morgan urged guest Lilly Gaddis, a self-identified 'tradwife' who admitted to frequently using the N-word and openly espousing racist views, to say the racial slur on-air. The discussion centered on Shiloh Hendrix, a Minnesota woman who received backlash after being filmed calling a Black child the N-word and subsequently raising over $700,000 through online fundraising. Panelist Marc Lamont Hill vocally objected to Morgan's provocation, accusing him of inviting racial harm for entertainment and ratings, and likened the situation to encouraging slurs against other minority groups. During the heated exchange, Hill called out both Morgan and another panelist, using strong language to highlight the harm and spectacle of the moment. The episode concluded with Morgan acknowledging Hill's objections and ending the discussion. The broadcast has since been widely criticized for its handling of race and free speech, with many questioning Morgan's approach to such sensitive topics.
