British broadcaster Jeremy Clarkson is facing serious backlash for a column he penned about his hatred for Meghan Markle — with thousands of readers, several political figures and his even own daughter declaring he went too far.
. “I mean, just constant briefings about other members of the family, about favors, inviting the press in. It's a dirty game. You know, there's leaking, but there's also planting of stories.” During the same episode, Meghan cited the way her private New York City baby shower was reported on in the U.K. as an example. “It was so wrong.
Firstly, I’m not from Compton, I’ve never lived in Compton, so it’s factually incorrect,” she said. “But why do you have to make a dig at Compton?” The formerstar — who shares son Archie and daughter Lilibet with Harry — went on to get visibly emotional while talking about the hate that she’s experienced via social media. "I think for people to really understand, you know, when you plant a seed that is so hateful, what it can grow into.
Sturgeon, who was referenced in the story as well, called Clarkson’s comments “downright awful and horrible,” telling: “My overwhelming emotion about guys like Jeremy Clarkson is pity. I mean, what is it that makes somebody so distorted by hate that they end up writing these things? I think that possibly gives an insight into Jeremy Clarkson and the kind of person he is. So maybe he just needs to take a step back from things and just think about life a bit more.
“My views are and have always been clear when it comes to misogyny, bullying and the treatment of women by the media,” the podcast host wrote via Instagram Stories. “I want to make it very clear that I stand against everything that my dad wrote about Meghan Markle and I remain standing in support of those that are targeted with online hatred.”The palace has yet to comment on— or Clarkson’s comments.
