Piers Morgan has involved the Metropolitan Police in his spat with Jameela Jamil after claiming she misgendered him.
Jamil branded the Good Morning Britain presenter a “s*** stain” after he criticised Sam Smith for revealing he is non-binary.
The actress referred to Morgan as a “thing” to which he replied: “‘This thing’. Wow. On every level that is a shameful mis-gendering. Cc @metpoliceuk.”
The pair have been feuding on Twitter all week after Morgan joked that he will now identify as Smith in a bid to claim royalties after the singer said he neither identifies as male or female.
Speaking on her Instagram project I Weigh, Smith said: “You are just you. You are a mixture of all different things. You’re your own special creation. That’s how I take it.
“I’m not male or female, I think I float somewhere in between. It’s all on a spectrum. I think the same with sexuality.”
Addressing the comments on Good Morning Britain, Morgan said: “I’m now identifying as Sam Smith so I can get his royalties. It works both ways.”
Jamil accused Morgan of spewing “constant toxic ideas of ‘masculinity’” to which Morgan replied: “Appalling that you just assume I am identifying as male tonight.”
Jamil went on to brand him a “giant pile of w***” and refer to him as “hun”.
Morgan slammed her “disgusting foul-mouthed abuse” before accusing her of committing a criminal offence, tweeting: “Don’t call me ‘hun’. I identify as male, but ‘hun’ normally applies to a female (‘honey’) which means you are mockingly mis-gendering me & that’s now apparently a criminal offence in Britain.
“Unless you meant ‘hun’ as a derogatory term for Germans in which case you’re a racist.”
Jamil replied: “LOL. He thinks ‘honey’ can only be used about females. How do we send this thing back in a time machine to the era in which it belongs…?”
