Yeah that was a stupid move, sometimes it's better to say nothing at all. |
What did he say? |
It’s a “she,” and she gave a very carefully worded response that had obviously been lawyered within an inch of its life. Basically, they are conceding that she was a b*tch, but claiming that it doesn’t meet their definition of “bullying.” ‘No, absolutely not. I think the first thing to be really clear about what bullying is. ‘What bullying actually means is improperly using power repeatedly and deliberately to hurt someone, physically or emotionally. ‘The Duchess of Sussex absolutely denies ever doing that.’ She also set up a wonderful straw man (who claimed “everyone had to leave”?). "This narrative that no-one could work for the Duchess of Sussex, that she was too difficult or demanding a boss, and that everyone had to leave, is just not true,” says Jenny Afiain a teaser for part two of Princes and the Press. |
I'm not seeing the conclusion you're drawing from this quote. This seems fairly strongly worded and unambiguous. |
I 100% agree with the first part of what PP said. J thought the exact same thing. I’m not sure I’m following the straw man theory (genuinely not sure) but I can believe. |
Where did you see the programme? |
She redefined the meaning of bullying and then ended her statements with “She would not want to negate anyone’s personal experiences”. Aka she did it and she knows there is proof.
I suppose it is an improvement from “It’s not her job to coddle staff” |

Not only is that not the definition of bullying, but she did something really nasty there. She says it has to be repeated, meaning the victims have to provide proof of many instances, and she said it has to be deliberate, again meaning victims have to prove intention. This is not just legalese, this is a way to discredit victims. Other straw man in her statement. “There is no way to defend against bullying allegations”. Wrong, it’s up to the other side to prove they were bullied. There are multiple people lodging complaints and multiple eyewitnesses. Surely if Meghan did not bully someone, anyone, would have come forward to provide a different account. |
+ 1. The attorney is trying to thread a needle by purporting a distorted definition of bullying is the one we all agree to. |
Can’t believe this successful lawyer went out on a limb like that, so publicly, especially for a client that has already been discredited in court. I wonder when this interview took place. |
I’m going to reserve judgment until we see the actual recommendations. I think a work environment can be unpleasant without someone being a bully. It’s clear that the people who worked with her didn’t like her but we haven’t gotten a single specific allegation yet. The fact that no one else in the BRF seemingly did anything to stop her kind of undermines things. |
Allegations. Stupid predictive text! |
What is your basis that he isn’t awful though? Twice divorced with three shitty kids would suggest otherwise. Especially because two of his three kids have basically confirmed instances of family violence. |

Sure!: Prince Phillip: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.aljazeera.com/amp/opinions/2017/8/13/the-priceless-racism-of-the-duke-of-edinburgh Prince William mansplaining why Africans are ruining the environment by having kids (despite himself having three kids) No one asking Princess Michael of Kent to take off that super offensive broach and also the fact that she previously got in trouble for telling black diners in NYV to “go back to the colonies” (demonstrating that she is both racist and stupid) Prince Harry’s own racist comments in the military Prince Charles: anti semitism https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.haaretz.com/amp/world-news/europe/prince-charles-1986-letter-blamed-jews-for-unrest-in-middle-east-1.5464756 Very, very much a racist family. So not sure why you would bend yourself into pretzels disbelieving that a bunch of racists could…do/say something racist. Elizabeth seems like the only good one out of the bunch. |
