Piers Morgan recently took to Twitter criticizing Lady Gaga and Madonna's claims of rape in their past, questioning Madonna's Billboard Women in Music Speech and Gaga's interview on Today. Morgan stated that their claims should be taken with a "pinch of PR salt."
\u201cNo.\nLady Gaga & Madonna have both made ALLEGATIONS of rape many years after the event. \nNo police complaint, no charges, no court case. https://t.co/N8oWjcMKAC\u201d— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan) 1481410169
\u201cI don't think all claims of rape should be necessarily accepted as fact without proper criminal investigation, do you? https://t.co/ogFjSUmgTU\u201d— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan) 1481410490
\u201cYes. I would treat everything either of them says with a pinch of PR salt. https://t.co/39MwNQjVBo\u201d— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan) 1481546934
This morning, Mother Monster fired back, defending the fact she has been raped and as a result suffers from Post Tramautic Stress Disorder (PTSD). When Morgan remained skeptical, Gaga agreed to sit down for an interview to discuss the matter:
\u201c@piersmorgan I've work w/ our VP Joe Biden on helping educate people about why women don't report, would love to share it w/ you some time.\u201d— Lady Gaga (@Lady Gaga) 1481639755
\u201cOK, you're on.\nLet's do an interview about this & you can tell me why I'm wrong to be sceptical. https://t.co/CFLOL06Emq\u201d— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan) 1481640003
\u201c@piersmorgan would also love to talk with you about PTSD, that it's not just a "military" disorder. There is a mental health youth epidemic.\u201d— Lady Gaga (@Lady Gaga) 1481640474
\u201c@piersmorgan if anyone in your family suffers from it, I pray they have more good days than bad. It has affected me & my whole family.\u2764\ufe0f\u270c\ufe0f\u201d— Lady Gaga (@Lady Gaga) 1481640679
\u201cI know numerous soldiers with PTSD, it's a very serious thing. \nI also know people who claim to have it but clearly don't. \nLet's talk... https://t.co/ZTk5mSZLBt\u201d— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan) 1481641302
\u201c@piersmorgan Let's do that & yes Mr. Morgan, I can handle u. Suprised you would question that. Was that the 1st question of our interview?\u201d— Lady Gaga (@Lady Gaga) 1481641666
\u201cYes!\nOK @ladygaga, we have a deal.\nI'll get my people to contact your people. \nIt's an important debate. https://t.co/WY2mmVZDFT\u201d— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan) 1481641880
\u201cI rather admire @ladygaga for agreeing to an interview after my criticisms. \nShould be a fascinating debate. \nI'll press my meat suit.\u201d— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan) 1481642856
\u201c@piersmorgan if you continue to shame me in the process of kindly agreeing to interview w/ u I'll happily do the interview with someone else\u201d— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan) 1481642856
\u201cOK. \nIf you're big enough to do this, I'm big enough to play fair too. https://t.co/L4CT1qtn4N\u201d— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan) 1481643184
