However I also agree with Jet that Meghan shouldn't have been showing off her Father's letter to People Magazine.

I dont think anyone has disagreed with the verdict...

Then why can’t you just say good on her and be done with it? Rather than your first post and then more negativity and taking about her dad and stuff. We know you hate Meghan but it’s the same in every thread the hate gets toxic for no reason over a woman who hasn’t done anything bad.

My first post was not negative...take another look. I only went on to mention her father when he was bought into the debate.
How do you know she hasnt done anything 'bad'....She has offended many but you dont see what she does as offensive...thats your opinion.
Nothing on here gets toxic...so stop exaggerating. If people dont like her then deal with it...but just show me the toxic comments on here PLEASE.

It wasn’t exactly a good comment

Because she isn’t a criminal, she hasn’t done anything wrong and she hasn’t done anything problematic not like you can judge since you wanted trump to free a dangerous criminal. People are offended by anything she does... people even made an issue over the whole ‘husband and I’ thing. It does get toxic here and social media. It’s a fact and not exaggerated

There is no obsessive hate for Meghan on this forum she has as many people that like her as dislike her.

She has won a court case that involved her father so in my eyes she hasn’t won anything of any real value

At the end of the day, her father sold stories about her, he sold private letters, he tried to profit from his own daughter's wedding. You can't both sides this and make out that people are just as toxic to her father when it's not the case. Her father isn't in the news every other day, there isn't articles slamming him for holding his belly, there certainly wasn't any comparable articles to when the tabloid rags slammed her for saying something like 'My husband and I'. The only times he has been brought up has been a result of his own wrongdoing towards his daughter. He actually did something to deserve the bad press and the criticism while people bend over backwards to find reasons to hate on Meghan, to try to make out that both are similar is just the most disingenuous bull****.

If this was anyone else, no one would be on the father's side, absolutely no one, but because it's a mixed race american woman who had the audacity to marry a prince, people are accepting the gaslighting because they think it gives their irrational, crazy hatred of this woman substance when it does not. It just highlights how far gone people are.

Oh, and since I already know the responses to this post, I'll just tackle the predictable 'Meghan fan' response that gets dished out to anyone that isn't cutting letters out of a magazine to send her death threats. You don't have to be a fan of someone to see how they are treated is bull****, but you do have to hate someone deeply to the point of irrationality to go against the grain of reality to find reasons to justify hating someone like that. As I said before, if this wasn't Meghan, the people who are defending the father would not be doing so because it's clear as day that he's looking to profit off his own daughter. The fact people are saying 'Everyone deserves a right to privacy but....' to try to justify a reason for Meghan's privacy to be invalidated just says it all.

Take a breath, step away from the computer and just look inward. The hatred towards this woman is not normal behaviour.

YOU take a breath and step away from the computer. If people disliking someone you like affects you that much and nothing is ever her fault, its best to avoid these threads.

Watching the haters spin themselves into a frenzy over this positive news because they simply refuse to see anything positive in her is amazing.

The holding her belly when pregnant is the weirdest most nit picky one I've read actually, pretty much every pregnant woman holds her belly like that sometimes, bizarre

...I love a pocket .....and now appreciate that keeping them fairly empty means that my hands fit in, which somehow gives a strange feeling of comfort and safety ...I read a headline this morning...

‘Why the Duchess of Cambridge should take a fashion lesson from Sweden’s Crown Princess Victoria’

...so now that the U.K. media doesn’t get the opportunity to criticise Meghan so much and compare her unfavourably to Kate at every opportunity...it seems they may be turning their eyes a bit to Kate, sadly....strangely, we don’t see prominent males of importance constantly compared in the same way...*insert name* wore his tie with just the correct knot tension....but *insert name*, well that was a little too loose for a Royal for goodness sake, what were they thinking....

It's what always bothers me about the whole Meghan situation, it's motivated by bigotry, a vile mix of sexism, racism and xenophobia.

And even though it's obvious , those things still get denied . Disgusting really .

Especially with the petty stupid comparisons they kept doing with Kate .

Actually I just googled Sugars, they don't actually call themselves that according to the results I got, it's critics of Meghan who have labelled "fans" that? So it's not like GaGa's Little Monsters or Justin Bieber's Belibers etc? It's basically an insult towards anyone who defends Meghan by people who dislike her.

...I was just about to post that...I googled it also and i could only find one article that mentioned it and it being a term that had been attached by Meghan detractors on social media...

‘One such Twitter user CelticQ, who has since deleted their account "Exposing Meghan Markle", used the term in July 2018, a few months after the former-actresses wedding.’

... They wrote: "#meghanmarkle fans are called 'sugars'.

"Don't be fooled by the sweet name, for they are extremely aggresive, and have even threatened Kate sublimely in the Daily Mail." (sic)

It's not sure exactly clear the name was first coined or why, but it is still in frequent use on the social media site in relation to the Duchess.



...all from this article, which is all I can find atm...

...and I’m not a particular ‘fan’ either but it’s impossible not to see unfairness and imbalance in the media which has been startling in its extreme...

You’re not allowed to defend the unfairness though because it’s Meghan and she deserves it all!!!

Diana, Fergie and Kate all got it bad too in the early days. Meghan gets it worse for a reason, she unwisely set herself against the media from the start.
If you don't know how it all played out, I'm sure you can find it with some research?
