Sophie Turner Totally Shut Down Piers Morgan Over His Tweets About Mental Health


Piers Morgan is stirring up controversy again—and Sophie Turner is having none of it. Morgan’s latest scuffle comes after he retweeted a story from The Sun which quoted British actress Beverley Callard as saying, “Real mental illness is very dark and it takes a great deal of strength to ask for help. I think we are now definitely chipping away at the stigma. But we have to be careful mental illness doesn’t become like a Gucci handbag. There is a danger it can become ‘fashionable’.”

“She’ll be hammered for saying this, but it’s 100% true,” Morgan commented with the retweet.

But Turner had a response ready for Morgan: “Or maybe they have a platform to speak out about it and help get rid of the stigma of mental illness which affects 1 in 4 people in UK per year,” she tweeted. “But please go ahead and shun them back into silence. Twat.”

She’s right. Conversations that normalize mental health issues and help do away with the stigmas attached to them are always important—not fodder for jokes.

This isn’t the first time Turner has used her social media platforms to speak out about mental health. In support of World Suicide Prevention Day in September she wrote, “You’re stronger than you think. You will get through this. You’re so loved. You are NOT a burden. #WorldSuicidePreventationDay”

As for Morgan, this is just the latest in a long line of controversial views and Twitter arguments with a young woman at the center. Back in November, he got into it with Ariana Grande (and her mom, Joan) on Twitter over how and when women should put their sexuality on display. Grande also clapped back brilliantly, writing, “I use my talent AND my sexuality all the time because i choose to. women can be sexual AND talented. naked and dignified. it’s OUR choice. we will keep fighting til people understand. i say this w all due respect but thank u, next.”

In 2018, we may have reached peak body positivity—it’s taken over social media, become the standard for brands, and changed the conversation on size.

Luckily, celebrities were full of clap backs to body shaming this year. Here are 12 of our favorite moments when celebs got real about body positivity and shut down shaming.

Kylie Jenner Just Shut Down a Troll Who Posted Fake Travis Scott Cheating Pics


Earlier this week, obviously-very fake photos of Travis Scott cheating on Kylie Jenner made the rounds, and it turns out they were a prank orchestrated by some troll trying to “fool the Internet.” Jenner is (rightfully) peeved by this stunt, and she took to Instagram Stories last night to air her grievances.

“Idk if this is really a social experiment to some people but you’re messing with real people, real relationships, real family,” she posted next to a screen-shot of the “prank.” “I’m happy my relationship is strong because this is getting out of hand. The Internet scares me sometimes for real.”

Jenner’s family, obviously, rallied behind her. “I hate that I am bringing attention to this but this is absolutely disgusting that you would find this funny to mess with Travis & Kylie who just started a family together,” Kim Kardashian tweeted. “This is really damaging to relationships, families and is just so wrong!”

Khloé Kardashian also expressed her disapproval of the incident. “People are absolutely disgusting,” she wrote, also on Twitter. “The mind games this would do to somebody… That is so completely not OK! This person should be so ashamed of themselves! What filth.” This no-doubt hits close to home for Khloé because of the cheating scandal that plagued her relationship with basketball player Tristan Thompson earlier this year.

Scott himself shut down the fake photos in a series of Instagram comments. “Only got love for my wife,” he posted. “No time to be wasting. Try again.”

Jenner and Scott welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Stormi Webster, in February 2018.

Ariana Grande Just Shut Down People Who Say She's 'Milking' Mac Miller's Death


Ariana Grande has had a year filled with highs and lows: Following her split with rapper Mac Miller, she began dating, got several tattoos with, and then was quickly engaged to Saturday Night Life cast member Pete Davidson. The two, however, broke up in mid-October shortly after the death of Miller. Grande has intermittently posted about Miller since his passing, a sign she’s thinking of him and working through her grief over his unexpected death.

But Grande being Grande, practically anything she posts on social media makes headlines—and her posts about Miller have been no exception. Most of Grande’s Twitter followers are fans who give their support and love, but there are, of course, a few bad eggs that think it’s appropriate to question whether her posts about Miller are genuine. It even got to the point over Thanksgiving weekend that Grande had to defender herself against them.

On Thanksgiving one user posted “She milkin this shit bruh,” along with a Complex story about a Miller tribute Grande had shared on her Instagram stories that day.

Grande saw this comment—and followed it up with a beautiful response: “i pray you never have to deal with anything like this ever and i’m sending you peace and love,” she wrote.

She then followed it up with a string of tweets urging people not to use Twitter to spread hate. “some of the shit i read on here makes me sick to my stomach. it scares me the way some people think and i don’t like this world a lot of the time. if only we could be more compassionate and gentle with one another. that’d be sick,” she wrote, adding, “like fuck” to emphasize her point.

She also got some love from Halsey: “ari the world could only dream of being as compassionate and gentle as you. and since ur being, as always, so classy and nice, allow me the honor of telling them to shut the fuck up,” the singer wrote.

Grande finished by reminding everyone that however she chooses to grieve is absolutely fine. “everything i feel is valid and safe. everything i do is genuine and honest. there is no right or wrong during this period,” she wrote.

True to Ari form, she signed off by keeping it positive: “sending u all a shit ton of love,” then adding “peace.”

Props to Grande for sending some much-needed positivity back into the world, even when the trolls are trolling.

Kourtney Kardashian Cleverly Shut Down Thanksgiving Trolls Who Think She's Pregnant


Ah, social media: The gift that keeps on giving—especially on a holiday like Thanksgiving, when Instagram floods with adorable celeb family photos and, uh, festive cake-smashing videos (we’re looking and you, Hailey and Justin Bieber). Unfortunately, social media can also give rise to some uncalled-for trolling that seems to particularly target women—and while most of us were enjoying our mashed potatoes and gravy and trying not to fight about politics with relatives, others had a few questions about an Instagram video Kendall Jenner posted of her family standing outside by the fire on Thanksgiving night.

In it, you can see the family gathering to take a holiday portrait. Grandma M.J., looking fresh in all white, is on the left, with Kourtney Kardashian‘s kids; a man who is maybe Scott Disick/father of said kids (the video is grainy); and then Kourtney herself, nonchalantly placing a hand in front of her stomach as the family shuffles about to find their positions for the photo.

So yes, of course Instagram thought she’s expecting another kid.

As one user wrote: “Is kourt pregnant??”

Obviously, Instagram users should not be commenting on women’s bodies—and Kourtney, recently noted for a well-executed clap back involving Photoshop, trolls, and comments about her and Kim’s bodies, agreed.

In response to the Instagram user’s out-of-nowhere speculation, Kardashian dished a cheeky clapback: “No, but how good does my arm look in the last photo,” referencing her hand in the last of Kendall’s pictures, which shows Kourtney adding food to her Thanksgiving plate.

We’re up for second helpings of some signature Kardashian sass whenever the opportunity arises, but it would be great if the Internet’s speculation about their bodies (and women’s bodies in general) weren’t the catalyst for it. Here’s to hoping for less trolls and more leftover turkey on this day after Thanksgiving.

Someone Told Lady Gaga to Get a Nose Job—and She Shut It Down


Lady Gaga is currently doing some amazing things: Not only is she still a pop icon, but she’s helming A Star Is Born, which, by all critical accounts and definitely not just judging by the first full song that’s been released from the soundtrack is going to be a box office slamdunk. And although we’ve already discussed just how amazing her interviews for this movie are, there’s another entry for that book—and it has to do with a very rude person telling Mama Monster she needed to get a nose job.

She told the Mirror last week that while she was on her own journey to stardom—we’re talking right before her first single dropped—someone said she should get a nose job.

“Before my first single ever came out it was suggested I get a nose job, but I said, ‘No.’ I love my Italian nose,” she told the Mirror. “If people wanted me to look like a sexpot, I would look like the opposite.”

Gaga was playing by her own rules straight from the beginning, it seems: “If they said, ‘Try dancing and looking this way,’ I would always flip it on its head and do it my way,” she added.

She also opened up about her own struggles with insecurity—and about how A Star Is Born contains elements of her own life. Gaga said that at one point, she was playing three shows a night and performed at at least a thousand clubs before she got her big break with 2008’s The Fame album.

“I spoke a lot to Bradley about my life, and they integrated part of my life into the movie, but in a very special way. I am forever grateful to him for that,” Gaga told the Mirror. “There were times early on where I wish there had been someone to help nourish me psychologically, to handle the change. When you become famous everything changes; you’re no longer a free being.”
