The inquest heard Morgan had given an account of his relationship with Cusack to the FA as part of the investigation following her death.
In response to Dean Armstrong KC, who is representing Cusack’s family, Morgan said: “In terms of the scenarios since Maddy passed away, I genuinely feel things have not been portrayed factually or correctly with how she was feeling.
“With the lying comment, it was based on the back of things after Maddy passed away. It became evident she omitted things to her family and others that I had supported her with.”
He told assistant coroner Sophie Cartwright KC there had been “a lot of one-sided information”.
When asked about the way he spoke to Cusack, Morgan said: “I never shouted at Maddy Cusack at Sheffield United.
“I’ve never shouted directly at Maddy at Leicester City.
“Maddy left Leicester in the January transfer window – it wasn’t my wish, I don’t think it was Maddy’s wish either.”
When questioned about Cusack’s lack of playing time after he came to the club, Morgan told the inquest she was still recovering from a foot injury when he first picked the side.
The inquest heard the midfielder had played a full 90 minutes the week before his arrival.
He then said, due to the form of other players, she had not been selected until his fourth game in charge.
Morgan denied he was trying to “cut her down to size” by not letting her play, adding that she was recovering from an injury she sustained before he came to the club.
