The gloves came off when Piers Morgan, Ariana Grande – and even Grande's mother! – went there Wednesday on Twitter.

Tour 1

It all started when Morgan, a British television personality and former competitor of "Celebrity Apprentice", accused the Little Mix female pop quartet for stealing a photo idea from the famous Rolling Stone cover of the Dixie Chicks.

On Wednesday, Joan Grande responded to the TV host's tweet Little Mix by asking, "Honestly, what's wrong with you @piersmorgan? Did your mother ever teach you, if you do not have anything nice to say, do not say it! "

After suggesting that Little Mix was actually a tribute to the Dixie Chicks rather than plagiarizing, the former Great wanted to know why Morgan had attacked Ellen DeGeneres a day earlier.

"You came for @TheEllenShow yesterday, which was shameful, it's an angel," Great reprimanded him.

Great probably refers to Morgan saying that he was Degeneres sexist to broadcast a montage of the famous men's body during the International Men's Day.

2nd round

Morgan responded to Grande's mother by telling her that his had taught her to "express her opinion and never be afraid to express (my) opinion honestly."

He then argued that Little Mix should use their talent to sell records and not nudity, as does Joan's daughter, Ariana.

Round 3

The pop star was quick to step in, defending both DeGeneres and herself.

"I use my talent and my sexuality all the time because I chose to do it," tweeted Grande. "Women can be sexual and gifted, Naked and Dignified, that's our choice, and we'll continue to fight (until people understand)." I say it (with) all the respect that I owe you, but thanks, then. "

A few minutes later, Morgan thanked Grande but warned that he would continue to call all women who use nudity to sell records.

Tower 4

But Grande was not finished. She accused Morgan of using remarks about celebrities to get her name in the headlines.

"I look forward to the day when you will realize that there are other ways to make yourself relevant than to criticize young, beautiful and successful women for all that they do." "she wrote. "I think it will be a good thing for you and your career or what's left of it."

Morgan responded to Twitter as a "young woman" and said that his career was going well and that he was criticizing and praising everyone, regardless of his gender, including Grande.

"I wrote articles praising and criticizing you, and you deserved both," he said.

Round 5

In an attempt to underscore Morgan's hypocrisy, Grande cited an older tweet from Morgan with a photo of him posing on the floor in front of a partially naked fireplace with a rag around his waist. He announced a new column he had written.

Great commented on the tweet saying, "When you do it, it's good, is not it?"

Morgan asked jokingly if the photo was Great screen saver. Grande replied, saying "No, and it's not your daughter either, I can promise you." Morgan answered with laughing emoticons and "I think the lady is protesting too much."

Morgan then tried to offer Grande an olive branch in the form of an invitation to participate in her show "Good Morning Britain", but she did not bite.
