Meghan Markle abuse leaves royal reporter ‘sick to stomach’ as fans make conspiracy claim
MEGHAN MARKLE’s torrid of online abuse that she has been subject to has left one royal reporter “sick to her stomach”,
while fans claim there is a conspiracy against the Duchess.
Ever since Prince Harry started dating the biracial American actress, there have been trolls that said nasty things about her on the internet.
Some of the worst comments are sexist or racist or both.
There are also bizarre, unfounded conspiracy theories spread about Meghan, most notably that she faked her first pregnancy
and that Archie was born through a surrogate, or even that Archie was a doll.
There were also disgusting and, again, unfounded claims that Meghan was unmaternal and was even endangering her son.
In a deep dive into the world of Meghan hate for Refinery29, Aida Aimoako spoke to a number of people with first hand experience of this trolling.
One of these people was BuzzFeed News reporter Ellie Hall, who once wrote an article comparing headlines about Meghan and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, that went viral.
She got some intense backlash for this article from so-called Meghan anti-fans or ‘Megxiteers’.
Ms Hall explained that she interacts with royal watchers on Twitter because she feels “too many reporters live in a bubble of their own making”, but said it has got harder over the past few years.
She said: “It has got increasingly more toxic.”
Whenever Ms Hall writes anything about Meghan, she receives vile emails which make horrible claims about the Duchess, and many contain bigoted langugage.
She said reading some of the emails made her feel sick.
The reporter said: “Until I started writing about Meghan, I didn’t get these emails criticising my work and criticising truth.”
She added: “Meghan was pregnant. That is a fact. People disagree on that fact like she’s faking her pregnancy”.
Ms Hall recalled receiving one email that referred to Meghan as a “half breed American mediocre actress”.
