Piers Morgan criticises Michelle Obama for 'trash-talking' Melania Trump
Francesca Specter, Yahoo Style UK 1 hour 52 minutes ago Piers Morgan has hit out at former First Lady Michelle Obama for allegedly snubbing her successor, Melania Trump .
In a column written for the MailOnline , Piers, 53, accuses former US President Barack Obama’s wife of ‘bitchy sniping’ aimed at the present First Lady.
He claims Michelle, 54, has snubbed Melania, 48, on numerous occasions while doing publicity for her new book, ‘Becoming’, on the ‘Jimmy Fallon’ television show.
“Just when I thought there was one person in public life that soared effortlessly and admirably above the incessantly ugly partisan trash-talk that pervades every second of American airspace these days, Mrs Obama has let me down,” writes the controversial journalist and ‘Good Morning Britain’ presenter.

Piers referenced a conversation between Jimmy and Michelle where the latter said the phrase ‘Bye Felicia’ in relation to leaving the White House.
He explains in the column: “The phrase ‘Bye Felicia’ is an intensely derogatory one. It was first coined by rapper Ice Cube’s character Craig in the 1995 cult stoner comedy movie, ‘Friday’.”
He continues: “The phrase is now widely used, especially on social media, as an ice cold ‘kiss off’ for unpleasant people who you want to avoid.”
While it is not clear who Obama is referring to – Melania, her husband or both – Piers insists the ‘similar phonetic name’ is meant to be a direct swipe at the First Lady.
He also referenced a comment Michelle made about the Tiffany photo frame given to her by Melania on Donald’s inauguration day, where she said: “ Then the Tiffany’s box..”.
Later in the column, Piers delivers his verdict on the alleged spat:
“It’s no secret that Michelle and Melania don’t get on, but there is no reason they have to.
“Their apparent mutual dislike doesn’t mean they should openly criticise each other, particularly as a tool to sell books and make money.
“Yet Michelle hasn’t stopped sniping at Melania for the past few weeks during her huge media tour.”
While it is certainly questionable whether or not Michelle was ‘trash-talking’ her successor, the mum-of-two has opened up considerably during her book tour.
Last month she revealed during an interview with ‘ Good Morning America’, the Obamas, like many other couples, went through counselling at one point during their marriage.
She told interviewer Robin Roberts: “ I know too many young couples who struggle and think there’s something wrong with them and I want them to know that Michelle and Barack Obama, who have a phenomenal marriage and love each other, we work on our marriage.”

The only one being a bitch is you Piers.
Is it that time of the month?
the uncut version.
also
It was no secret that Michele wished for a more normal existence without the constant Secret Service etc.,
without worrying how any phrase or look could be taken out of context by her detractors.
That seems to have not changed much.
Yup why some folks have called her an ungrateful bitch, a racist bitch, trash.
I mean who could have imagined?
Haters are gonna hate

I expect nothing less from the ungrateful bitch Michelle.
Thank god that trash is gone and now she can become so proud to be a American as she makes her millions from her goober followers.
So "Bye Felicia" is now the ultimate insult to you? Such that you should call the former first lady, who by the way has more class in her pinkie finger than the entire Trump clan, an "ungrateful bitch"? It's this kind of reaction by conservative Republicans that make those with more than half a brain think there must be something more behind such raging hatred of the Obama's. It's quite natural to conclude that this seething hatred has more to do with her skin color than it does with her words.
Who the hell is a Conservative Republican? Who the f*ck you referring to?
No its not Natural. It is something that most race baiters do.
Michelle herself is a racist bitch, I can understand why some people find no fault with her.
Maybe I'm out of touch but I've never heard the term "bye Felicia" except, maybe, when someone is saying goodbye to someone named Felicia.
I hadn't either till this popped up and apparently some say it's an inside joke that basically means you're saying goodbye to someone you don't like, which even if true, is not some shocking headline. While they rarely stated it openly, we all know how the Obama's felt about the Trumps. And the fact is, Trump bashes Obama almost daily more than just saying he doesn't like him. Where's the conservative outrage about that? Oh, that's right, there is none because Trump is just preaching to the bigot choir and it's only offensive to them when a white woman is told she's not liked, but declaring a black first lady an "ungrateful bitch" is not only acceptable, it's deplorably mandatory.
Yet it's not them who are hateful and bigoted and . . . . . . . . . .
This is the epitome of fake news. Michelle Obama is known, globally, to be a very kind and gracious person.
There is no feud between the first ladies other than what far right wing propagandists invent.

Where is the evidence that Michelle Obama has attacked Melania Trump?
It sure isn't in this article.
And? So what?
It's nowhere in the article that Michelle attacked Melania. Piers is the bitch.

Melania did plagiarize her speech.....
That would make me a little testy
poor melania. no skill set to display in public for her adoring fans. the look on her face when GWB leaned in front of her to pass Michelle a piece of candy at GHWB's funeral still cracks me up.
She already displayed her skill set, that's how she got bought, er, I mean "courted" by Donald Trump. He saw her soft core porn modeling photos and decided she had the right "skill set" to help get the little Don out of his twice married, twice divorced slump. Sure, nothing was quite as sweet as the 14 year olds his friend Jeffery Epstein used to supply for him to give "massages", but she wasn't as expensive and had much lower expectations having grown up in Slovenia.
I bet most of these little girls bore a striking resemblance to ivanka.
Does that mean Bill Clintons Epstein escapades looked like Chelsea? How disgusting, talk about butt ugly.
So because Ivanka is more attractive than Chelsea that makes it okay to you that her father wants to fuck her?
Melania also participated in spreading the birther lie.
Now that I didn't know. And I was willing to give her at least a little credit for having human decency
.
This is just Piers doing a public job interview.
Piers is verbally vomiting as his way of showing Trump just how low he's willing to go to get that Chief of Staff job.
He knows that the ever shrinking minority of Americans that still back Trump will lick his sick up and how such blatant acts of sycophancy gives Trump a boner.
'Celebrity Apprentice' winner Piers Morgan wants to be new Trump chief of staff
Jealousy of another is not a good trait. I guess once a diva always a diva.
Jealous of what? The gold digging soft core porn model who agreed to sloppy thirds in exchange for a chance at US citizenship and a lot of cash? Yeah, I'm sure the Princeton and Harvard law school graduate and former associate Dean of student services for the University of Chicago, former Vice President of External Affairs for the University of Chicago Medical Center, mother of two and First Lady for eight years, Michelle Obama, is going to be jealous of that.
Michelle Obama is only a model for what strong, capable, smart and independent woman want to be, not the starved, thin, half naked kind of model appealing to overweight white male misogynists our current first lady is.
Sounds as if you are jealous...lol
Uh, okay... you believe whatever you have to believe to get you through the day. Just know that there are people out there that do care about you.
I'm sure Melania is jealous of Michelle. Greed and vanity are also not good traits, she is 'winning' like her greedy, arrogant, narcissist of a husband.
What sniping? The only example given was the casual 'goodbye Felicia' at the White House which is some pretty weak shit not even clearly directed at Melania. What are some of these 'numerous occasions' Piers is talking about? Has Michelle EVER clearly taken a swipe at Melania?
No she never did. She has class, grace, decorum, charm. She probably feels quite sorry for Melania.
I imagine Melania is jealous of Michelle.
Melania has more class and grace in her little toe than Michelle Obama. The current First Lady has brought an elegance back to the White House not seen since Jackie Kennedy
I don't recall Jackie Kennedy plagiarizing speeches or blatantly lying. I don't recall Michelle Obama posing while grabbing her crotch.
Odd what some people consider to be "class".
I spoke only of how these ladies conduct themselves as First Lady. I stand by my statement that Melania has shown more class and grace as First Lady than any other since Jackie Kennedy
Christians do not look at others as who they may or may not have been in the past
the Bible teaches us not to look at the past but to the future.
She's a liar and a plagiarizer right now.
So you must think Stormy Daniels should rock as first lady. Think about what you are saying. Really.
I think based on previous statements he's made that's asking too much...
[deleted]
And your attacks on Michelle are typical of the racist minds of right wing fascists.
You're welcome to your opinion, but just know that statement is a hilarious joke. The ex-soft core porn model who begged for the sloppy thirds from a serial adulterer and secret man-bear pig displaying "grace" could only be true if that's what she named her vagina which she so proudly proffered in her porn pics.

Why? Did I not bring enough cash?
Should we start a go fund me page for you?
I got 5 dollars
It's got to be paper money though, she's not some Tuesday afternoon coin stripper, she's "classy"....
