As we previously mentioned, Meghan and Prince Harry often face criticism, with various aspects of their lives, such as interviews and their Netflix documentary, becoming targets of online and media backlash. Even fellow celebrities, like Rebel Wilson, have publicly expressed their disapproval towards Meghan.
It’s worth noting that Bill Simmons publicly criticized the duo, referring to them as “grifters,” when their Spotify agreement fell through last year. This goes to show that they are no strangers to facing criticism and handling it gracefully.
However, it appears that Melissa McCarthy is in support of Meg, indicating that there are still some individuals in Hollywood who stand by them.
