Most recently, he has been namechecked by Olivia Wilde as an inspiration for a character in Don’t Worry Darling.

She said to Interview Magazine that a character in her new movie is “based that character on this insane man, Jordan Peterson, who is this pseudo-intellectual hero to the incel community.”

She went on to describe incels as “disenfranchised, mostly white men, who believe they are entitled to s*x from women.”

But now, Peterson has appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored and broke down in tears after Morgan asked him about Wilde’s remarks.

Peterson initially hit back: “People have been after me for a long time because I have been speaking to young men, what a terrible thing to do.”

However, after a moment, he then teared up and added: “I thought the marginalized were supposed to have a voice?”

He then went on: “It’s very difficult to understand how demoralized people are, and certainly many young men are in that category. And you get these casual insults, these ‘incels’ — what does it mean? It’s like these men, they don’t know how to make themselves attractive to women.”

Peterson went on to say that women are “very picky” and “demand high standards” from men.

He puts this in contrast with “alienated” and “lonesome” men who “everyone piles abuse on.”
