Can someone explain something to me about Meghan Markle?
Listen, I’m indifferent to MM but do I think it’s highly likely an American, WOC who married into essentially the founding family of colonialism did not have a good time in the palace? Uhhh…lol that said I do get why she feels pressure to come across “perfect” and curate herself to avoid misstepping and opening herself to criticism. Does it come across wooden or fake at times, sure—but my question is how is she different from any other public figure or lifestyle celebrity like Gwyneth Paltrow, Martha Stewart, or heck, even Ivanka Trump who are all arguably just as curated but called classy or seem to be more respected?
Everyone loved the Martha documentary where she basically talked about how perfect she was growing up and cooking and working on Wall Street and creating this amazing life for herself even though clearly underneath a very different story was happening and her marriage was filled with dual infidelity and she was notoriously mean to the people who worked for her but gets a pass bc “sexism” whereas MM is still being criticized for allegedly bullying her KP staff despite no official evidence. Yet I see a lot of white women online absolutely thrashing Meghan and who HATE her and everything she does and now her Netflix show. Even Cazzie David posting screenshots w/ her mom criticizing the way she’s wrapping plastic bags of snacks.
Is Meghan doing anything different than these other women? Can someone help explain why she gets so much next level hate for doing what many women before her have done or are doing?
