Piers Morgan has slammed Madonna’s latest social media video, branding the pop star “attention-seeking” during his TV show.
Earlier this week, the Queen of Pop, 64, posted a video on Tiktok where she threw a pair of pink panties into a bin.
The Material Girl singer captioned the clip, “If I miss, I’m Gay.”
The video left many fans confused, with some questioning whether Madonna was just jumping on the trend for fun or was serious about coming out.

During his show Piers Morgan Uncensored, available to stream on Flash, Morgan ranted about the Vogue songstress.
“Madonna has come out with a clip of herself wearing a pair of hot pink panties, throwing them into a trash can and saying if I miss, I’m gay,” the Sky News host began.
“It had 1.3 million views.”
The broadcaster showed Madonna’s clip before turning to his guest, TalkTV Political Editor Kate McCann.
“So my big question for you, Kate McCann is, is she now identifying as gay or is she as I suspect continuing to identify as the most gruesome attention seeker in the history of world celebrity?” Morgan asked.
Ms McCann laughed before replying: “I think a lot of people are still very confused about what that video was aiming at.
“I think that there’s definitely a question there. She’s provocative, that’s what she does and what she has always done.
“You don’t have to necessarily like it or agree with it, but you’re talking about it.”
“I don’t even want to see it,” the TV presenter hit back as Ms McCann added: “But you’re talking about it. She’s provocative.”
Taking a shot at Madonna, Morgan said: “I know I’m playing into her trap.
“She wants attention, and I’m giving it to her. But honestly, utterly ridiculous.”
Madonna – who has alluded to her sexuality in the past – has mostly dated men in the public eye, she famously kissed Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.
She was also reportedly romantically involved with model Jenny Shimizu in 1996.
“I think everybody has a bisexual nature. That’s my theory. I could be wrong,” she said in a 1991 profile for Advocate.
The Grammy winner was previously married to actor Sean Penn from 1985 to 1989 and to film director Guy Ritchie from 2000 to 2008.
Following her two marriages – which she admittedly regrets – the singer has notoriously been linked to partners aged 28 and below.
