Jo Koy’s Golden Globe Roast Leaves Meghan Markle Red-Faced

In a shocking turn of events at the Golden Globe Awards, comedian Jo Koy took to the stage and delivered a scathing roast aimed at Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex.

The comedian's sharp wit and biting humor targeted Markle's recent endeavors and controversies, leaving many in the audience in stitches while others, including Markle and her husband Prince Harry, appeared visibly uncomfortable.

Koy stepped in as the host on short notice after James Corden tested positive for COVID-19.

Known for his comedic style that often draws from his Filipino roots and family life, Koy certainly didn't hold back during his monologue, which covered a range of topics from the Omicron variant to the metaverse.

Yet, it was his jabs at Markle that stole the spotlight.

As he welcomed the couple to the event, Koy quipped, “Ladies and gentlemen, please give it up for Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Or as they are known in the industry, the Duke and Duchess of Success.

Because everything they touch turns to suck.

Am I right?” The audience erupted in laughter, but Harry and Meghan looked less than amused.

Koy continued his roast, asking rhetorically what the couple had achieved since moving to California.

He pointed out their high-profile deals with Netflix and Spotify, lamenting that nothing of substance had come from these partnerships.

“They're like the Kardashians, but without the talent or the s appeal,” he remarked, prompting even more laughter from the crowd.

He didn't stop there, taking aim at their infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey, which he likened to “the biggest waste of time and money since the Fyre Festival.” Koy accused the couple of playing the victim, stating, “They are not oppressed; they are opportunists.

They are not heroes; they are hypocrites.”

As the audience cheered, Koy wrapped up his segment with a final piece of advice for the couple.

“Stop trying to be something you're not.

You're not a Duchess, you're a disaster.

And you're not a Duke, you're a joke,” he said, leaving the crowd in a frenzy of applause and laughter.

The aftermath of Koy's performance saw Markle and Harry storming out of the ceremony, trailed closely by paparazzi and reporters.

Social media exploded with reactions, as users praised Koy for his boldness while also criticizing Markle, with some expressing sympathy for Harry, who seemed embarrassed by the entire ordeal.

This incident marks yet another chapter in the tumultuous public narrative surrounding the couple, who have faced significant backlash for their past decisions, including their tell-all interview with Oprah and ongoing tensions with the royal family.

Their reputation has taken a hit, raising doubts about their standing in Hollywood and their relationship with the public.

Critics seized the opportunity to further question the couple's credibility, using Koy's roast as fuel for their arguments against them.

Speculation about the state of their marriage also bubbled to the surface, as observers wondered whether they were genuinely happy together amidst the chaos.

While Koy has yet to comment on the fallout from his jokes, a source close to him revealed that he felt honored to host the event and held no regrets about his performance.

The source emphasized Koy's respect for Markle and Harry, despite the nature of his jokes.

On the other hand, sources close to Markle and Harry described the incident as a misunderstanding, asserting that the couple appreciated Koy's work and the Golden Globes' efforts.

They insisted that their focus remained on their humanitarian projects and family life, dismissing the uproar as mere noise.

As the dust settles from this unexpected roast, it's clear that Jo Koy has made a significant impact on the Golden Globe stage, leaving audiences buzzing and Meghan Markle facing yet another round of public scrutiny.
