Piers Morgan is back at it again, trying to humiliate the stars of Love Island, by accusing them of being dumb. Even though it didn't work out for him last week when he was interviewing Love Island's Hayley after her exit from the villa, when he ended up making a fool out of himself by not knowing the answer to his own question, he clearly didn't learn from his mistake and started his day off by attacking the choices newly evicted Rosie has made in her career.
Here's Piers making a fool of himself last week, if you haven't seen it already:
After insulting the contestants and the viewers, Piers wasn't going to stop there. The well educated man who makes a living as a TV personality, making controversial statements and insulting others on TV to draw attention to himself, has gone after another well educated woman who's making a living from being on reality TV and becoming a TV personality herself. Ironic?
Piers started the interview by going straight in and questioning Rosie, the Love Island star and latest evictee, on her 8 year education in law and why she has decided to spend time in the villa instead of pursuing her career.
"Rosie, you've achieved a post graduate maters of law degree from the University of Law in Chester, and you've given all that up to go into a villa full of half-wits to try and have sex on national TV."

Piers, who has been a TV star for years, had no problem questioning Rosie on her choices, whereas his co-host, Susanna Reid, defended Rosie's choices, just like she did when Piers questioned Hayley on her knowledge of 'Pythagoras' Theorem'. Susanna, who was full of support for Rosie during Piers' attack, seems to be quite sick of her co-host's unneeded questions.
Piers then went on to ask Rosie what her family thought of her choice to leave her career to go on Love Island, but clearly mistook Rosie for someone who couldn't hold her own during confrontation. (He clearly hasn't been watching the show).
"My family are very proud of me, I don't think I've made myself look stupid on TV. I was working 18 hour days [as a solicitor], getting sleepless nights, it's not as glamorous as it seems. When I'm working 18 hour days, I haven't got a lot of time to go out and meet men and try and find love, it's been very difficult for me, I've studied for 8 years, there's not a lot of time for me, and this was the time to actually spend 24 hours a day with, hopefully, someone that I could spend the rest of my life with."
We never had any doubt Rosie could hold her own, after seeing her make a fool out of Adam, but Piers might have been left a little speechless after having such a cool, calm, intelligent conversation with someone who he is doing his best to insult. Rosie went on to explain her position now, and where she wants to be and where she wants to end up.
"I did always in my legal career, want to make a difference, and I wanted to go into criminal and family law, but there's no money in that at the moment, and it does need to be completely revamped and looked at, so I ended up going into the civil and business side, which wasn't where my heart was, and I feel like now I have a voice and I have a large following, hopefully I can make a difference with empowering women."
All we can say is fair play to Rosie. No better woman to take down the obnoxious, cold-hearted man that is Piers Morgan.
