Meghan Markle Faces Backlash After Cringeworthy Ellen Interview

Meghan Markle's recent appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show has left fans divided and scratching their heads.

The Duchess of Sussex's decision to sit down with Ellen for an interview has sparked a wave of criticism and mockery on social media.

Twitter users have not been shy in expressing their disappointment, with many describing the interview as cringeworthy and even vomit-inducing.

Ellen DeGeneres herself has been at the center of controversy earlier this year, following allegations of bullying and creating a toxic work environment on her show.

Despite issuing an apology at the start of her final season, the accusations against her have not been forgotten.

Meghan's choice to appear on Ellen's show amidst these controversies has raised eyebrows, even among her own supporters.

Roberta Fiorito and Rachel Bowie, hosts of the Royally Obsessed podcast and self-professed fans of Meghan and Harry, discussed the interview on their show.

Fiorito expressed surprise at Meghan's decision, highlighting the contrast between Ellen's message of kindness on air and the reports of mistreatment behind the scenes.

Bowie also questioned the wisdom of Meghan's choice, emphasizing that they were not endorsing the interview.

The online reaction to Meghan's appearance on Ellen has been swift and unforgiving.

Memes and gifs mocking the Duchess have flooded social media, with many questioning her understanding of the boundaries between royalty and celebrity.

Critics have not held back in their assessment, with one likening Meghan's fall from grace to a scene from The Lion King.

During her segment on Ellen's show, Meghan ventured outside the studio to participate in a prank orchestrated by the talk show host.

The prank involved Meghan wearing an earpiece and following Ellen's instructions to interact with unsuspecting vendors.

The stunt further fueled the debate surrounding Meghan's public image and decision-making.

Despite the backlash, some have come to Meghan's defense, pointing out that her appearance on Ellen signifies a departure from traditional royal protocol.

Howard Brewer, CEO of Newsroom PR, explained that Meghan and Harry's willingness to engage with shows like Ellen's demonstrates their desire to break free from the constraints of royal expectations and show their relatability.

As the fallout from Meghan's Ellen interview continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how this latest controversy will impact her public perception.

The divide among fans and critics reflects the ongoing scrutiny and speculation surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Meghan's foray into the world of daytime talk shows has undoubtedly added a new chapter to the ongoing saga of her post-royal life.
