Piers Morgan Blows Up On New Laughable ‘Wicked’ Trigger Warning

Piers Morgan reacted to the laughable trigger warning in the United Kingdom for “Wicked” — which claims that people with green skin could get upset about the movie — and he asked, “Why do we have to endure this crap?”

In a clip shared on X from the “Piers Morgan Uncensored” show, the host discussed the British Board of Film Classification issuing a trigger warning for the “potential discrimination against green-skinned women,” referencing the “Wicked” character Elphaba, and “persecution of talking animals.”

The host pointed to the “warning issued on their website” that read, “A green-skinned woman is mocked, bullied and humiliated because of her skin color.”

“A disabled woman in a wheelchair is treated in a condescending manner by able-bodied people,” it added. “Talking animals are persecuted in a fantastical society.”

The post on X with the clip from the show read,  “Why do we have to endure this crap?!”

“Why do we have to endure this cr*p?!”

Morgan then turned to his guests, who all agreed that was too much for them as well.

“A green-skinned woman,” the host shouted. “There is no such thing as a green-skinned woman in the real world. Even Ernest [Owens] knows there are no green-skinned women.”

Owens, who’s described as a black, gay journalist and LGBTQ supporter, said, “No, I agree. There’s no green-skinned women.”

Columnist Esther Krakue said the cynic in her thought it had just been done to generate headlines, which would then help ultimately to promote the film.

“Elphaba, a misunderstood young woman because of her green skin, and Glinda, a popular girl, become friends at Shiz University in the Land of Oz,” a description about the movie on IMDb read. “After an encounter with the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads.”

It is only the latest bizarre news to surface about the film adaptation of the popular Broadway show. The most recent clip that went viral called into question the sexuality of the main characters of Elphaba [played by Cynthia Erivo] and Glinda [played by Ariana Grande], after Grande suggested her character might be secretly gay, as The Daily Wire previously reported.

“Whether it’s romantic or platonic, or you know … maybe Glinda might be a little in the closet. But if there were a time? Y’know, you never know! Give it a little more time! I mean, it is just a true love,” Grande said. “And I think that transcends sexuality, it’s just kind of a deep safety within each other. And that’s why they probably ship it.”

“Wicked” is being released in two parts, with the first installment released on November 22. The Broadway musical is based on the book “Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West,” which was inspired by L. Frank Baum’s novel “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.”
