Piers Morgan clashed with controversial internet star Andrew Tate over his views on women and pressed him about whether he was sorry for any of his inflammatory comments. In a clip on tonight's (October 4) show - aired ahead of the full explosive interview due to be run later this week - the TalkTV host grilled the influencer over his "misogynistic" opinions.
Piers challenged him over toxic and offensive views claiming 18 to 19-year-old women are more attractive because they have "been to the club and had less sex" than 25-year-olds. The man, dubbed the 'King of Toxic Masculinity', said: "I wouldn't want anyone to be offended by anything I say."
But he refused to apologise, adding: "No, I am not sorry, that's the point I'm making." Later, asked whether he regretted any of his most outrageous online content, he confessed: "I would say them differently perhaps [now]... I recognise that with massive fame you have to be more careful about being misconstrued.
"As I said earlier, 1% of people misunderstanding you with a small audience doesn't matter, it matters with a very large audience." But he continued: "I still believe the things I say. I do not want to be a negative force in the world. I also understand that I am a man who has led a very difficult and nuanced life and I am capable of making nuanced points that are maybe misunderstood by teenagers.
"However, that can be said of anybody and everything. Every opinion online can be misunderstood by children. Trying to protect children from the internet is a very interesting subject in of itself because I would argue that 80% of content on the internet is going to be negative or detrimental to a young mind that doesn't understand the world."
