Sophie Turner Slams Piers Morgan Over His Tweet About Mental Health

Sophie Turner is slamming Piers Morgan for his stance on celebrities and mental health.

It all started when Piers took to Twitter to comment on a headline that read, “Beverley Callard says celebs are trying to make mental health problems ‘fashionable,’” writing, “She’ll be hammered for saying this, but it’s 100% true.”

Sophie then responded to Piers‘ sentiment, writing, “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. But please go ahead and shun them back into silence. Twat.”

Hi Sophie, please don't abuse me like this – it's harmful to my mental health. Thanks. https://t.co/op9jG8K3PP

Part 1 : People who think it’s okay to make jokes about mental illness, I feel you must be lucky, because surely you don’t understand or can’t comprehend what it is like to have or know someone with an illness like this.

Part 2 Depression is the second biggest killer in affluent Europe and America. One of the greatest reasons being, I believe, is because mental illness has so much stigma surrounding it.

Part 3. If we can just all speak out about our experiences or our loved ones experiences we can help other people who suffer with mental illness not feel so alone. Let’s keep this dialogue going.

Part 4. You are not alone, you can manage your illness, and people who make fun of it are the minority… not you. You are loved and supported.

Actually, I was mocking your foul-mouthed abuse of me, whilst simultaneously trying to lecture me about mental health.
Do you think abusing people helps their mental health, Ms Turner? Maybe consider that question for your next virtue-signalling Twitter thesis on the subject? https://t.co/AAwgAcT5kQ
