JK Rowling's ongoing Twitter spat with Piers Morgan took a decisive turn in her favour yesterday.
The Harry Potter writer tweeted: "Just been sent this! Could the writer let me know who he is? I'd love to thank him! #Valentines."
Attached was a passage praising her for inspiring children and refusing to "play any part of the celebrity game". It added: "Ms Rowling definitely matters."
Morgan was quick to attack her over the post, retweeting it and writing: "Priceless #humblebrag BS. Nobody plays the celebrity game more abusively or ruthlessly than you, Ms 'Intensely Private Billionaire'."
So, in other words, what's written in the passage couldn't be further from the truth, according to Piers.
The problem is: Piers wrote that passage.
The glowing description of JK Rowling comes from a 2010 Daily Mail article titled 'The 100 British Celebrities who really matter, by Piers Morgan'.
Here's a nice visual summary of what Rowling did to Morgan:
Morgan has since tried to save face by writing: "I knew what it was. Just surprised I put her as high as 97th."
Um...
