Morrissey Says Radio Hoax Suicide Is Kate's Fault: Is He Deliberately Being Provocative?

Bigmouth strikes again! The former frontman of The Smiths, Morrissey, has let his strange opinions get him in trouble again after he suggested that Kate Middleton is responsible for the suicide of Jacintha Saldanha, who killed herself after being tricked into releasing private information by a radio hoax.

The singer told New Zealand’s 3News that “it wasn't because of two DJs in Australia that this woman took her own life, it was the pressure around her," and blamed both the press and “the Palace and Clarence House,” but also called for the princess to take responsibility.

He said that “[She] was in the hospital, as far as I could see, for absolutely no reason. She feels no shame about the death of this woman, she's saying nothing about the death of this poor woman.” He added that “the arrogance of the British royals is absolutely staggering."

He even questioned whether Kate should have been in the hospital at all, saying “morning sickness already? So much hoo haw and then suddenly as bright as a button as soon as this poor woman dies she's out of hospital? It doesn't ring true." Do you think he’s just being deliberately provocative in order to get press?

    I agree, and I think it takes more than this incident to make it happen. My feeling is the hospital is somehow behind this as it makes no sense for her to be upset passing on a call. Shouldn't Kate's nurse-- the one that actually spoke on the phone be the one more upset? be the one taking the heat? That is why I think not all is being told or ever will, the higher ups cover butt and shift the blame down the chain. Oh I do think this guy is getting his 10cents worth of free publicity.

    Did anyone actually listen to the interview or are they blinded by celebrity?

    Who are the biggest crooks, thieves, and murderers in the history of civilization?

    1. Marxist Regimes.

    2. Fascist Regimes.

    3. The British Monarchy.

    So, I agree with him that the royals are staggeringly arrogant. On that count he is telling a truth that people are afraid to hear because they think the royal family is just a group of lovable celebrities. On the other counts, he may or may not be going too far, but perhaps not for the reasons you think. This poor woman killed HERSELF. Perhaps these fools drove her to it, but at the end of the day it comes down to personal responsibility. We are told that she killed herself out of shame and embarrassment. It may have been the disc jockeys that triggered it, but what kind of frame of mind was this woman in to be brought to such shame? I'll tell you, she was affected by the overblown and disgusting adulation of a crime family. If the royal family wasn't so falsely acclaimed and the average person wasn't so brainwashed to go along with it, this never would have happened.

    GOD SAVE THE QUEEN, SHE AIN'T NO HUMAN BEING!

    The world is guaranteed to be a better place if Kate Middleton dies or miscarries. I'm not saying that to be mean like some people might of Justin Bieber or Lindsay Lohan. I'm saying it because the monarchy is one institution that needs to end. Abolishing it would be that much easier with no immediate heir.

    The royal houses of Europe, and that includes Britain were all inbreds. Why do you think these people marry outsiders? To rejuvenate the bloodline. It's a pity they didn't just inbreed themselves out of existence.

    The British monarchy has little to no power so ending it would change nothing. However, I must say that I do think you're a terrible person for wishing death or a miscarriage on an innocent woman who did nothing wrong except marry the man she loves.

    Like it's her fault that the sun came up. The "tabloid" mentality is moronic. Blaming others for suicides is misguided logic.

    This why morons shoul not run healthcare. This jerk seems to believe that the royals of any level are not entitled to manage their health, because their presence "causes a stir". Morning sickness is not like a cut on the finger that can be sewn up or bandaged and heals in a few days with proper care. The symptoms vary from person to person with the men sometimes feeling the effects

    Microphones are more dangerous when in the hands of hateful people who speak their idiotic crap ideas from both ends of their bodies! The good thing about this is that we can and should turn off his microphone at the first sound of his voice or his professional act and let him waste away. Then enjoy your life without the static of stupid people who think their importance is a headline!

    Oh yeah, how dare the Duchess of York get pregnant, and have morning sickness, smh. Anyway this guy is just talking a whole bunch of nonsense just to hear himself speak. Even though I don't see why one should go to the hospital because of morning sickness, he should shut his mouth about her having morning sickness so early, I'm sick & tired of men having opinions on women & our bodies.

    Just exactly what is it that Kate do that she should be criticized and condemned for? Are you appalled that she married a prince? Are you appalled that she became pregnant? Or perhaps you're appalled because she became ill and need medical help.
