Piers Morgan Denies Abuse Allegations

Recently canned CNN host Piers Morgan is slamming a report from the New York Daily News that he was verbally abusive to staff members on the set of his TV show.

The paper quoted a source who alleged, "Morgan was always such an a**hole to people working for him. The makeup girls suffered the worst -- he was rude and belligerent...The general feeling is Morgan didn't show any respect to anyone working under him -- the people who were trying to make him look good."

Piers took to Twitter on Tuesday morning (February 25th) to write:

Hi @NYDailyNews - found any CNN make-up artists I was ever rude to yet? Or you going to admit you just invented that garbage?

Sorry, don't mind all the crap swirling around my CNN show ending, but abusing make-up artists? NEVER. Just pisses me off to read that.

So @NYDailyNews response is to tweet a link to their lie? Halfwits. And their Brit editor Colin Myler worked with me at the Mirror, too!
