"I'm going to start by making an apology. And it's for this, is I was very censorious about you over the COVID scandal that you got caught up in, Morgan said on his program, Piers Morgan Uncensored, on YouTube. He explained that he felt Djokovic, based on the reports at the time, had tried to bend the rules to play in the Australian Open in 2022 without getting vaccinated."
"Djokovic was forced to stay in an immigration hotel for five days while he appealed to play in the tournament, but his visa was ultimately canceled by Australian authorities, and he was booted from the country. Morgan celebrated his banishment at the time. BREAKING: Covid rule cheat, immigration form liar, & anti-vaxxer icon Novak Djokovic loses final appeal against deportation & will be thrown out of Australia without being able to compete in Aus Open."
Piers Morgan apologized to Novak Djokovic for being censorious over Djokovic's COVID-19 vaccination controversy. Morgan said he initially believed Djokovic tried to bend rules to play the 2022 Australian Open without vaccination. Djokovic was held in an immigration hotel for five days while appealing to play, then had his visa canceled and was deported by Australian authorities. Morgan acknowledged celebrating the deportation at the time and said he was too tough once evidence suggested vaccination did not prevent transmission. Morgan said personal experiences with people severely ill from COVID-19 made his criticism visceral. Djokovic accepted the apology and later returned to win the 2023 Australian Open but still feels trauma when he goes to Australia.
