Provocateur Jordan Peterson has slammed Meghan Markle as a “sanctimonious, faux compassionate” hypocrite after she called him “crazy” on her saccharine podcast.

Peterson made his comments on Piers Morgan’s show in response to the former Suits actress taking issue with the Canadian academic on her Archetypes show.

She aired a clip of Peterson saying: “I don’t think that men can control crazy women.”

But on Piers Morgan Uncensored, the host asked the author how he felt about being cast as a “villain” in the Megsverse.

“Her voice drips with the same falsehood that the voice of Kamala Harris drips with,” he told Morgan.“It’s this sanctimonious, faux compassionate, talking down to her audience.”

The former University of Toronto professor got some yuks when he imitated Markle.

He joked: “Trying to be sure that we’re all really on the same compassionate page here and we’re all being victimized by terrible forces that are arrayed against us and none of that’s really fair. It, just grates on me.

“And I do believe that it is the case that it’s very difficult to control female anti-social behaviour often of the type that’s been pilloried as hysterical and I think that there is no shortage of clinical evidence to support precisely that claim.

“It’s very difficult for women to control female anti-social behaviour and females who are anti-social that feminine pattern is reputation salvaging under the guise of compassionate care and it’s extraordinarily destructive, so I stand by my words.”

Markle joins actress Olivia Wilde in criticizing Peterson, who claimed a toxic character in her Don’t Worry Darling film was based on the author.

“We based that character on this insane man, Jordan Peterson, who is this pseudo-intellectual hero to the incel community,” she told Interview magazine, adding that incels are “disenfranchised, mostly white men who believe they are entitled to sex from women.”

She added: “This guy Jordan Peterson is someone that legitimizes certain aspects of (the incel) movement because he’s a former professor, he’s an author, he wears a suit, so they feel like this is a real philosophy that should be taken seriously.”

But Peterson was brought to tears in an earlier interview with Morgan about Wilde’s statements.

Morgan asked: “This insane man, this pseudo-intellectual hero to the incel community, incel being these weirdo loner men who are despicable in many ways. Is that you? Are you the intellectual hero to these people?”

Peterson replied: “Sure, why not. People have been after me for a long time because I have been speaking to young men, what a terrible thing to do.”

Then, breaking down in tears he added: “I thought the marginalized were supposed to have a voice?”
