May 28 2018, Updated 10:15 a.m. ET
Elizabeth Taylor’s close friend and personal assistant Sally Morrison has told Breaking Celebrity News: “I hope the Westboro Baptist Church does not picket her funeral.”
The controversial ant-gay Baptist church had intimated after the screen legend’s passing that they would target her funeral because of her work with HIV/AIDS patients.
Margie Phelps, a church member and legal spokesperson, used her Twitter account yesterday to launch a sickening and foul attack against the 79-year-old film icon and activist after her death.
She wrote: “No RIP Elizabeth Taylor who spent her life in adultery and enabling proud f*gs. They cuss her in hell today. #Westboro will picket funeral!”

And later:“Hello rebels! RIP Elizabeth Taylor is in hell as sure as you're reading this & getting mad as a wet hen. She should've obeyed God. Too late!”
Following the hateful statements Morrison told Breaking Celebrity News: “I hope the Westboro Baptist Church do not picket the funeral.
“Obviously, they are entitled to their own opinions but we are going to take the high ground over this.
“My personal view is that it is really disappointing that they are using Elizabeth Taylor’s death to further their own agenda.
