Piers Morgan has hit out at "disgusting" online trolls who sent his friend Sharon Osbourne death threats after she publicly defended him.
Former X Factor judge Sharon stood by Piers, 55, in the wake of his controversial Meghan Markle rant.
However, Sharon has since been met with a huge amount of online abuse. And Piers had had enough on Friday evening.
In a Twitter post to his 7.9million followers, Piers rallied around 68-year-old Sharon and slammed: “This is true, and so disgusting
“The woke brigade are the new fascists. If you don’t agree with them, they want to kill you.”
The experienced broadcaster shared his caption alongside a TMZ report revealing that Sharon had been targeted by threatening trolls.
The story title read: “Sharon Osbourne Getting Death Threats Since ‘Talk’ Racism Dispute, Hires Security."
Piers refused to apologise for his comments about the Duchess of Sussex and subsequently quit his job on the hit ITV show.
The article claims that Sharon has hired private security to protect herself and her family, reports Daily Star.
The ex-America’s Got Talent judge has been at the centre of the storm ever she decided to defend Piers.
Speaking on US talk show The Talk last Wednesday, Sharon supported her long-time mate for speaking his mind about Meghan and her husband Prince Harry.
Sharon was involved in a heated row with co-presenter Sheryl Underwood when tackled on the controversial subject.
She stressed Pier was paid to speak his mind, he was not a racist and that she stood by him.
