Piers Morgan slams popular trad wife as ‘despicable’ over shock act

It’s not easy to leave the British host speechless, but a trad wife with a huge following left Morgan stunned by her on-air confession.

A trad wife has confessed to regularly using a racial slur — a year after the use of that same word got her fired.

Lilly Gaddis, 24, is a social media star and “trad wife”, a term which refers to women who embrace “traditional gender roles” within marriage.

Now Ms Gaddis has found herself in hot water again after recently appearing on Piers Morgan Uncensored, to discuss Shiloh Hendrix, a woman who has been accused of calling a black child a slur.

When asked why she would “want to support a white racist”, her response was that she wanted to support free speech.

“That’s fine, you can support free speech but you also have to be accountable for what you say. I mean, would you use the N-word,” Morgan asked her.

Ms Gaddis confirmed she would use the racial slur, and had done so repeatedly and “frequently”.

The British host demanded to know why she’d use the term, calling her a “despicable racist”.

“Some would say I am. According to the ADL, I’m a white supremacist. I’m a neo-Nazi,” she said.

She said she would “embrace” being called a racist if that meant “helping white people achieve real freedom of speech”.

When asked if she uses it when with black people, she said she did when it was “appropriate”.

When asked to clarify that she said: “Any time I feel like it”.

Ms Gaddis tried to bring the discussion back to Ms Hendrix, but Morgan said she had “moved on” the conversation to her own racism.

“It explains why you’ve supported her in public and why you’ve got all these views. You see no problem with a woman shrieking the N-word repeatedly is because you yourself are a despicable racist,” Morgan said.

“And you’ve just proudly admitted that with a smug grin on your face — which is pretty horrifying.”

The video prompted a huge response from audiences, with many stunned to agree with the controversial British media personality.

“I did not have ‘Agreeing with Piers Morgan’ on my 2025 Bingo Card,” one social media user said.

Another added: “You know she’s bad when Piers Morgan seems left wing.”

“When Piers Morgan is against you, you know it’s bad,” another social media user said.

One person commented: “This woman is a pathetic human being!”

“She does have freedom of speech. She can say it. Anyone can, but they can’t wrap their heads around the fact THEY’RE NOT FREE FROM THE CONSEQUENCE,” another added.

One social media user said: “Yet Piers Morgan is ALLOWING that kind of person to have a platform.”

“It is never appropriate to be racist, ever. America be better, do better,” one commented.

One said: “My eyebrows just kept going higher and higher and higher.”

“Freedom of speech should just be called, freedom of hate speech, at this point, because that’s the only time we even hear about it,” another added.

It’s not the first time Ms Gaddis has openly used the racial slur and faced consequences for her actions. Last year, she was filming herself in the kitchen and said the N-word — and also referenced “dumb wh***s,” “immigrants fresh off the boat looking for a green card” and “gold diggers”.

She then posted an “apology” following backlash, where she said she “couldn’t find a care”.

Ms Gaddis worked as a marketing and sales manager at Rophe of the Carolinas, a home healthcare company for the elderly and disabled in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Although Rophe of the Carolinas did not name Ms Gaddis, it emphasised in a statement that the “newly hired” employee was axed over “inflammatory remarks on social media that do not align with the values and beliefs of our company”.

“Oh no I just got fired! #mob,” Ms Gaddis tweeted following the announcement.
