After a long weekend away, I return to find Meghan Markle declaring herself one of the most bullied individuals in the world.
Really?
It’s hard to believe.
Welcome to Popcorn Palace; I’m Andy Signor, and I can’t help but wonder if Meghan has seen her own portrayal on South Park.
It seems she and Prince Harry have embraced this victim narrative as their entire identity.
Every celebrity faces online bullying.
Just look at Taylor Swift—she’s been targeted countless times by trolls.
The reality is, fame comes with its fair share of critics.
I’ve faced my own share of harassment and negativity, yet you don’t see me complaining about it daily.
Meghan Markle enjoys a lavish lifestyle as one of the wealthiest celebrities, with little to no obligations.
When I think of privilege, Prince Harry comes to mind.
As his wife, Meghan has the luxury of attending glamorous events, donning designer outfits, and living in mansions—all while receiving round-the-clock security.
For what?
She has shown blatant disrespect toward the British public and even mocked the Queen.
The list of grievances against her is extensive.
In fact, I’m currently working on a documentary that delves into whether we are being too harsh on Meghan.
Spoiler alert: we aren’t.
While it’s true that she has faced some harassment, so has every other celebrity.
If you choose to bask in the limelight, you must also accept the accompanying criticism.
So when Meghan attends a panel with teenage girls, documenting her experience, it raises eyebrows.
This isn’t for charity; it feels like a production for her crew.
During this event, she spoke about being one of the most bullied people worldwide, according to a co-founder of the advocacy group involved.
They engaged in activities discussing various scenarios and how they emotionally impacted the girls.
But why is Meghan reliving her media struggles in front of impressionable teens?
Is this how she intends to empower the next generation—by portraying herself as a victim?
It’s disheartening, especially when there are real issues affecting countless individuals around the globe.
Many people face severe hardships, from single parents juggling multiple jobs to those suffering from natural disasters.
The suffering is immense, and I count myself lucky for my circumstances.
I would never dream of using my platform to play the victim card in front of young girls.
Instead of acknowledging the challenges faced by everyday people, Meghan seems focused on her own narrative.
She married into royalty and now feels slighted because the public doesn’t adore her.
To imply that Meghan has no responsibility for the backlash she receives is absurd.
She has been caught in lies, claiming the UK press is out to get her while simultaneously leaking stories for a book.
Her actions have led to the moniker “Duchess Difficult,” and it’s not just the British public who feel this way; many Americans share similar sentiments.
In Montecito, locals avoid discussing her and Harry, fearing backlash for expressing any opinion.
Why do they think they can retain their titles without fulfilling royal duties?
If they truly want to escape the bullying narrative, perhaps it’s time to renounce their titles and establish their identities.
Instead, they seem content to exploit their privilege while dodging accountability.
Meghan is criticized, not bullied.
Yes, people have harassed her, but that’s part of the celebrity package.
Attending a summit for teen girls to play the victim is not the right message.
It’s frustrating to watch someone so privileged portray themselves as oppressed.
Meghan’s attempts to align herself with influential figures like Oprah and Melinda French Gates come off as desperate.
While Oprah has undeniably built an empire, Meghan’s contributions seem superficial at best.
It’s clear Meghan is trying to craft a brand around her charitable efforts, but the constant need for media attention dilutes her message.
Can she engage in charity without a film crew documenting every moment?
The essence of charity is selflessness, yet Meghan’s actions suggest otherwise.
She seems more interested in maintaining her celebrity status than genuinely helping others.
The truth is, Meghan Markle is not being unfairly targeted; she places herself in the spotlight and then complains about the consequences.
Her narrative of being the most bullied person in the world stems from her own choices and behaviors.
Instead of empowering young women to be strong and resilient, she perpetuates a victim mentality.
This approach is disappointing, especially given the potential impact she could have had.
Rather than encouraging strength and resilience, she opts for a sob story that undermines the struggles of those facing real adversity.
It’s time for Meghan to step back and reflect on her actions.
She should focus on genuine charity work instead of using it as a backdrop for self-promotion.
