That's an insightful point, that much of the online rage seems to be coming from a right-wing hate machine. You're right, where is the hate for Ghislaine Maxwell, who IRL groomed and trafficked underage girls? Sure, Bondi and Noem get some ridicule for things like cowboy cosplay or the MAGA woman look, but it's nothing like the frightening hate that's cranked out daily by the Murdoch press, the British tabloids, and subs like SMM with their full-time hate content creators. In Meghan's case, a study by Bot Sentinel found that 83 Twitter/X accounts were responsible for 70% of the hate posts against Meghan. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/10/27/meghan-markle-twitter-hate-campaign/ or similar article here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/emmawoollacott/2021/10/27/researchers-uncover-coordinated-campaign-against-harry-and-meghan-on-twitter/ Omid Scobie's book talks about how Kensington Palace traded rumors about Harry and Meghan in return for the tabloids burying news about William's affair with Rose Hanbury, and doing puff pieces on the Waleses. It goes on and on. Depressingly. |

PS. Obviously KP had its own motives for spreading rumors about Meghan to British tabloids. But we can easily guess what those motives are. I'm more interested in the mentality of women who spend their days here, and in the racist SMM hate sub, raging against a woman they've never met. |

Did KP force Meghan to make interviews about how horrible it was being in the royal family? No one told Meghan that working Americans do not want to listen to rich people complain about how hard life is in the palace or mansion. She was truly clueless, and while Oprah asked the questions, Meghan was the one who sat on TV and whined about her very hard life. Yet, despite crapping on the family that gave her royal status, she continues to want to be called Duchess in the U.S. where we do not have royalty. She deserves all the criticism of her hypocrisy. |

For the record, Harry wrote the book, and Harry was an equal participant in the documentary and Oprah interview. Why are you fixated on the black woman? Weird you think that the tabloids and palaces can freely spread lies about the Sussexes, but they have no right to respond or set the record straight. |

Any normal person would exit the thread at this point. They might even engage in some much-needed introspection. Not DCUM's resident hater and SMM racist hate sub denizen. Who continues to pop up with but... but... what about that one time someone else's butler in NYC called Meghan duchess, huh, huh? We must all spend months repeating that story to ourselves and using it to amplify our hate for her. |

PS. Not making up the NYC butler story from the house where Meghan was staying. Meghan herself said on her show that she wants to be known as Meghan Sussex. |

You did not answer the question. Who exactly forced Meghan to look like an a-hole on the Oprah interview. The answer is Meghan herself, in her own words. You're welcome. |

You didn't answer two questions. 1. Why are you fixated on the black woman, when Harry is an equal or greater (his book) partner in explaining Mexit? 2. Why on earth shouldn't the Sussexes push back on tabloid, palace, and social media (you, SMM sub, twitter) straight-up lies? Oh, and Meghan was fine on the Oprah interview. |

DP. This is a common trope of the online hate machine: she [insert name of literally any public woman here] *made* me hate her! All this hate is her fault!! It's organic because she's the WORST! But let's look critically at your argument here. You're saying that it makes sense that there are literally thousands of pages of hate directed at Meghan Markle online because she once did an interview with Oprah that you feel made her look like an "a-hole." Let's see, Google tells me that said interview occurred in 2021, just over 5 years ago. Also, reviews are mixed. Some people do feel Meghan and Harry came off as complaining and navel gazing. Other people were sympathetic, especially to Meghan talking about her experiences with mental health and the criticism she received in the press and internally within the royal family. Why this be something you are still upset about? The Andrew formerly known as Prince did an interview just a few months ago where he continued to lie about his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and invented a truly ridiculous story about whether or not he is physically capable of sweating. And yet Andrew simply does not engender the same degree of hate as Meghan does, or anything close to it, even though it is now clear that Andrew is likely a pedophile who associated with a known pedophile and sex trafficker AFTER he was convicted of sex trafficking, and Meghan... has a sort of cringeworthy jam distribution business? I truly don't know. I still don't know where the hate comes from. Disliking Meghan, finding her tedious, choosing to avoid discussion of her online -- sure, I get it. That's how I feel off and on about both Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Pratt. But this level of rage and hate? I don't get it. It's not because she seemed like "an a-hole" in a 5 year old interview. That can't be why. Let's keep working on it. Why *else* do you hate Meghan Markle so much? |

Oh he is annoying too. But he does not give interviews where he exagerrates his position. Meghan has always done this. She claimed to be the main star of suits when she was five or six on call. She created a podcast claiming to be a founder and compared herself to incredibly successful CEOs of major companies. She is a legend in her own mind. If she would accurately describe her business and her acting career as BJ girl on 90210 and file cabinet f€ck girl it would be more honest. |

Look, nobody wants to read more of your nasty hyperbole about Meghan. You can like her jam or not. Personally, I fell asleep trying to watch her show. But I'm not here cussing about whether founding a multi-million dollar online lifestyle store actually qualifies her as a founder. I'm not cussing about her perfectly innocent roles on various shows. I mean, who TF cares? Why do you care so much? I'm still waiting for your response to 11:42's very good insights and questions. That's what's interesting about this thread: what drives your unhinged posts like the one above? |

You take the side of a couple who over time truly cannot maintain relationships. It’s so silly. I think Harry and Meghan are grotesque, primarily on the basis of their view of “charity work.” I’m also anti monarchist, detest Andrew, and believe his dead parents failed to control him and correct him, and that he should be prosecuted and imprisoned for his acts other than as a trade rep. I ALSO voted for each of the Clintons for president, am vehemently against right-wing ideas, believe Amber Heard was abused, voted for Obama twice and admire Michelle, and am more of a Khanna-Sanders-Porter-Warren Democratic idealist than a centrist. There was no Daily Mail campaign that convinced me that the Sussex pair are garbage. The racism charge is so forking stupid. I’m mixed race, just like Ms Nibbs. She’s an as-hole and he’s worse. Their fans are just goddamned brain dead. Good luck! I’m sure the show will be inspiring and titillating and get the ratings of Narcos. |

Show me a white bit actress who married Ă royal then moved away from the country and kept the royal title and perks while complaining about them. I'll wait. There is no white equivalent to compare her too because only a few people a century marry into a royal family. If you a white woman who has done the same detestable crap, I will gladly snark on said person. Because no one wants to hear a rich person crap on the institution that gave them everything. This goes for royals, actors, athletes, etc. |
