Simu Liu’s Scathing Roast Exposes Meghan Markle at the People’s Choice Awards

In a stunning display of comedic bravado, Simu Liu, the charismatic host of the 2024 People's Choice Awards, took aim at Meghan Markle during his opening monologue, leaving the audience in stitches and raising eyebrows across the celebrity landscape.

Known for his roles in blockbuster hits like “Barbie” and “Shang-Chi,” Liu didn't hold back as he dissected Markle's public persona, revealing what he deemed her duplicitous nature.

The atmosphere was electric as Liu kicked off the evening with a playful jab at the star-studded crowd.

“What an amazing gathering we have tonight,” he began, gesturing to the array of Hollywood elite.

But it was when he mentioned Markle that the laughter turned to gasps.

“And also Meghan Markle,” he quipped, before adding, “I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

She's a star.

A star of lies and scams, that is.”

With that line, Liu set the tone for a monologue that would delve into Markle's controversial history.

He quickly transitioned into a barrage of jokes aimed squarely at the Duchess of Sussex, who was nominated for her podcast, “The Me You Can't Hear.”

Liu's sharp wit cut through the air as he mocked her various claims, from her infamous Oprah interview to her ongoing legal battles with British tabloids.

“Seriously, Meghan, how do you do it?” Liu asked, feigning admiration.

“You've lied about everything from your family to your finances.” The audience erupted in laughter as he rattled off a list of Markle's alleged fabrications, showcasing his knack for satire.

“Did I miss anything?” he joked, prompting further laughter and applause.

Liu didn't stop there.

He took a shot at Markle's podcast, suggesting its title should reflect the audience's disinterest.

“More like the me you don't want to hear,” he said, emphasizing that many feel alienated by her narratives.

He painted a picture of Markle as a wealthy individual out of touch with the everyday struggles faced by most people.

Turning his attention to Prince Harry, Liu labeled him as “the biggest scam of all,” noting that his fame largely stemmed from being Princess Diana's son.

“Let's be honest, Meghan,” he continued, “you're not a real podcaster.

You're a wannabe.” The audience reacted with mixed emotions; some roared with laughter while others expressed their disapproval through boos.

As Liu's monologue escalated, he drew a parallel between Markle's aspirations and her current standing.

“I heard you wanted to be the next Princess Diana,” he remarked.

“Well, you're halfway there.

You've already crashed and burned.” His remarks elicited a visible reaction from Markle, who appeared uncomfortable and angry, while Harry tried to maintain a supportive demeanor.

The comedian's relentless teasing didn't let up as he continued to mock the couple's lifestyle.

“You're living in a palace, Meghan,” he said.

“You have no idea what real problems are.” Liu then offered a tongue-in-cheek suggestion for Markle to experience life as an Asian actor in Hollywood, highlighting the different challenges faced by those outside her privileged bubble.

Closing his monologue, Liu delivered a final zinger aimed directly at Markle.

“Thank you, thank you,” he said, gesturing to the audience.

“You've been a great crowd, except for you, Meghan.

You've been a terrible audience, a terrible person, and a terrible podcaster.” The laughter and applause that followed underscored the success of his roast.

Liu's performance sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with some praising his boldness while others criticized his approach.

Regardless of opinions, it was clear that his monologue had left a mark, reigniting conversations about Markle's controversial status in the public eye.

As the night unfolded, the tension between humor and discomfort lingered in the air.
