Susan Sarandon Faces Backlash Over ‘Inappropriate’ Outfit, Has Perfect Response For Haters

Note: we are republishing this story which originally made the news in February 2016.

In the aftermath of the Screen Actors Guild Awards, Susan Sarandon found herself embroiled in a social media skirmish after Piers Morgan deemed her outfit “horribly inappropriate.” The 69-year-old actress, known for her roles and awards, attended the event with her son and daughter, making headlines with a white blazer and black bra during the In Memoriam tribute.

Sarandon’s bold fashion choice drew a mix of admiration and criticism, with social media buzzing about the appropriateness of her attire for such an occasion. Piers Morgan, never one to shy away from controversy, took to Twitter to express his disapproval, questioning whether Sarandon would wear such an outfit to a funeral. The tweet ignited a virtual battlefield with some accusing Morgan of various -isms, from misogyny to ageism.

Piers Morgan, undeterred, responded with his own cheeky #TBT post featuring a likely Photoshopped image of him wearing only a gilded Burger King medallion and draped in maroon fabric. The digital exchange reached a crescendo when Morgan, in an attempt to defuse the situation, acknowledged the “magnificence” of Sarandon’s cleavage but suggested keeping it hidden during memoriam tributes.

The feud showcased the clash of values in the entertainment industry and society at large. Sarandon’s refusal to conform to traditional norms became a symbol of individualism, sparking conversations beyond fashion choices. The incident served as a microcosm of the ongoing struggle between personal expression and societal expectations.
