Piers Morgan tells folks to lay off Susan Boyle
Susan Boyle’s crush is now her white knight. “Britain’s Got Talent” judge Piers Morgan is defending the YouTube sensation’s honor.
According to reports, Boyle cussed out two strangers in the lobby of the Wembley Plaza Hotel in North London on Wednesday (not to mention rumors of her dropping the f-bomb when Morgan praised her competition Sunday night).
When police intervened, she broke down in tears and stormed off.
A rep for Boyle told London’s The Times that a reporter caused the drama: “A journalist from a tabloid paper provoked her, the police just happened to be at the hotel and escorted said journalist out after making sure Susan was OK.”
But on CBS’ The Early Show Thursday, Morgan said he’s “feeling more supportive” of Boyle “today than I was before, because I feel really sorry for Susan.
“From what I hear,” he told co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez, “she’s been in tears the last two days. She even threatened to leave the show yesterday at one stage, because of the sheer amount of pressure on her.
“And you have to remember with Susan, she’s a 48-year-old lady from a tiny village in Scotland who has never been exposed to anything like this kind of attention. And I think she’s really feeling the heat.
“The hotel she’s in is crawling in tourists, crawling in the media. I think maybe she overreacted. I don’t know what happened. She denies, apparently, some of the things that have been reported.
“But either way, I know she’s feeling a lot of pressure, and I think that most people watching this show and hearing about this will feel natural sympathy toward her. And I just hope it all calms down for the final. Because, on Saturday, she sings for the competition.”
