During an episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, the panel discussion experienced a meltdown over an exchange with a social media influencer named Lilly. The hot-button issue on the table was the “n-word” and her frequent use of it. The influencer was brought on for two reasons.
The first was to speak about the issue of Shiloh Hendrix, a white single mother who has raised over $700,000 online after she used the n-word against a child who she alleges dug into her son’s bag at a playground. Lilly made a video defending the woman, so that was going to be a topic of conversation. The second reason she was brought on is because she is only known for using the n-word in a viral video with a “trad wife” theme.
So, it was only a matter of time before Piers brought up her social media identity and challenged her on it. Piers asked her to say the n-word on television since she believes in free speech and her right to say it. Ultimately, she was saved by the bell in Marc Lamont Hill, who objected to the word being said on a panel with him on it because he would become part of the news story on a viral clip.
