Dionne Warwick<\/a> had more than a few words for Piers Morgan after the gossip-monger criticized Beyonc\u00e9<\/a>\u2019s new Levi\u2019s campaign, accusing the superstar of \u201cculturally appropriating\u201d Marilyn Monroe.<\/a><\/p>\n The 84-year-old musical legend responded directly to Morgan\u2019s Aug. 6 post on X (formerly Twitter), where he told his 8.9 million followers he was \u201cvery disappointed to see Beyonc\u00e9 culturally appropriate Marilyn Monroe in her new Levi\u2019s ad.\u201d<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.

Morgan\u2019s message traveled quickly, pulling roughly 650,000 views and nearly 2,000 replies within hours as users debated the claim.<\/p>\n Warwick\u2019s response cut through the chatter: \u201cGetting involved in women\u2019s business again, I see\u2026\u201d she wrote, a line that ricocheted across platforms and drew praise from fans.<\/p>\n As more replies rolled in, one follower said Morgan\u2019s comments were \u201cgiving obsessed,\u201d and Warwick signaled agreement. Morgan then tried to recast his critique as humor, replying to Warwick, \u201cOh not you too, Dionne\u2026 it was a JOKE!\u201d<\/p>\n The flare-up arrived amid broader discourse around celebrity denim ads. Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s Monroe-coded visuals landed while Sydney Sweeney\u2019s American Eagle spot was also trending<\/a>, with some conservative voices arguing there was a double standard.<\/p>\n As of this writing, neither Beyonc\u00e9 nor Levi\u2019s had commented on Morgan\u2019s posts, and the commercial continued to circulate online.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the first time Morgan and Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s fans have intersected.<\/p>\n In October 2024, after singer Jaguar Wright made allegations about Beyonc\u00e9 and JAY-Z on Piers Morgan Uncensored, attorneys for the couple called the claims \u201ctotally false and without basis in fact\u201d and demanded their removal, according to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>.<\/p>\n Morgan complied, editing the segment and telling viewers, \u201cEditing interviews is not something we do lightly on a show called Uncensored, but the legal limits apply to us as well\u2014and we apologize to JAY-Z and Beyonc\u00e9.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Lee Morgan \u2013 Search for the New Land LP (Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series)<\/p>\n Blue Note Records<\/span> Lee Morgan \u2013 Search for the New Land LP (Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series)<\/span> $27.98<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Lee Morgan – The Gigolo LP (Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series)<\/p>\n Blue Note Records<\/span> Lee Morgan – The Gigolo LP (Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series)<\/span> $27.98<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Between the Buttons (UK) CD<\/p>\n The Rolling Stones<\/span> Between the Buttons (UK) CD<\/span> $13.98<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Lee Morgan – Taru LP (Tone Poet Vinyl Series)<\/p>\n Blue Note Records<\/span> Lee Morgan – Taru LP (Tone Poet Vinyl Series)<\/span> $38.98<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n JAY-Z Shuts Down Man’s Longtime Paternity Claims, Tells Court Allegations Are ‘Fabricated’<\/span><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Piers Morgan Slams Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s ‘Marilyn Monroe’ Ad\u2014Then Claims It Was a ‘Joke’<\/span><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Why Beyonc\u00e9 Fans Think Her ‘Act III’ Album Is Coming Soon<\/span><\/p>\n Game On: These Are the Top Video Game TV Adaptations You Need to Watch<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Eddie Murphy Says Turning Down ‘Rush Hour’ for \u2018Holy Man\u2019 Was a \u2018No-Brainer\u2019<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\nRelated Products<\/h3>\n
