Piers Morgan has continued to voice his dislike of Meghan Markle describing her wide-ranging interview with Oprah Winfrey as a “two-hour trash-a-thon of our Royal Family” for which Meghan deserved an Oscar nomination.

Morgan led the British tabloid response to the explosive interview on ITV’s “Good Morning Britain” on Monday saying he was “sickened” by the interview and was “angry to the point of falling over” before dismissing several claims Meghan Markle made during the interview including that she had felt suicidal during her time as a working royal.

“They’ve trashed his dad, they’ve trashed his brother, they’ve trashed his sister-in-law. They’ve trashed everything the Queen has worked so hard for and we’re supposed to believe they’re compassionate?” Morgan said on the show.

Morgan continued to provide his commentary on the interview through a series of tweets.

He wrote: “Harry wants America and the rest of the world to hate his own family, hate the monarchy and hate his country. I suggest everyone waits for the victims of his wife’s rampage to have their say on her outlandish claims before they do so.”

“I wouldn’t believe Meghan Markle if she gave me a weather report,” he continued to tweet. “Is it too late for Oscar nominations? #meghan.”

Morgan received pushback both online and on “Good Morning Britain.” During an interview on the show, lawyer and political commentator Dr. Shola Mos-Shogbamimu criticized Morgan’s continued discussion of Meghan Markle, which she said was fueled by discrimination.

Meanwhile, one person responding to Morgan’s dismissal of Markle’s claims during the interview, specifically her battle with suicidal thoughts, said: “Piers Morgan, the host of Good Morning Britain, accusing Meghan of lying about her suicidal thoughts is the exact reason mental health is a long way off being taken seriously.”

Another said Morgan has displayed an obsession with Markle, which has now cross into “hysteria.” The tweet read: “Piers Morgan is the tabloid press on broadcast, his obsession with Meghan has now reached the point of hysteria, disturbia, call it what you will, i hold no candle for Harry & Meghan, but no wonder they fucked off, the British media is the most toxic in the world. “
