Timothée Chalamet Calls Out Meghan Markle: A Scathing Critique
In a surprising turn of events during his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
this past Thursday, Timothée Chalamet didn't hold back when discussing Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex.
The Oscar-nominated actor, who is currently promoting his highly anticipated film “Dune: Part 2,” took the opportunity to voice his strong disapproval of the former royal and her husband, Prince Harry.
When asked about his thoughts on the couple, Chalamet didn't mince words.
He labeled them “the Duke and Duchess of Lies,” expressing his belief that they are exploiting their fame while claiming to be victims.
“I think they are the biggest frauds in the world,” he declared, emphasizing how he feels they manipulate public perception for personal gain.
Chalamet's critique went further as he accused Meghan of portraying herself as a humanitarian and feminist, while in reality, he described her as a bully who mistreats her staff and has strained family relationships.
“She is the opposite of everything she pretends to be,” he stated firmly, calling her a hypocrite and a narcissist rather than the benevolent figure she claims to be.
The actor also took aim at Meghan's past claims regarding mental health struggles during her pregnancy, as well as the alleged conversations about their son Archie's skin tone within the royal family.
Chalamet dismissed these allegations as “the most ridiculous and outrageous things I have ever heard,” suggesting that she was merely playing the victim card to garner sympathy.
He accused Meghan of using her son as a “prop and a weapon,” arguing that such actions disrespect the royal institution she married into.
His comments painted a stark picture of the couple as self-serving individuals rather than the champions of social justice they often present themselves to be.
Chalamet's remarks didn't stop there.
He criticized Meghan and Harry for signing lucrative deals with major platforms like Netflix and Spotify, all while lamenting their lack of privacy.
“They are living in a mansion in California, surrounded by celebrities and paparazzi, and they expect us to feel sorry for them,” he pointed out, highlighting the irony of their situation.
His comments ignited a firestorm on social media, where opinions on his statements were sharply divided.
Supporters praised him for his candidness, calling him brave for voicing what many think.
One Twitter user remarked, “Timothée Chalamet is my hero.
He said what we are all thinking.”
Conversely, critics slammed him for what they perceived as rudeness and ignorance.
Another Twitter user countered, “Timothée Chalamet is a jerk.
He has no idea what he is talking about.
Meghan Markle is a brave and inspiring woman.”
The debate showcased the polarized views surrounding the Sussexes and their narrative.
This controversy is likely to generate buzz and potentially boost ratings for “Dune: Part 2,” which is set to hit theaters on March 1.
Directed by Denis Villeneuve, the film boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Zendaya, Javier Bardem, Florence Pugh, and Christopher Walken.
As for Meghan and Harry, they have yet to respond publicly to Chalamet's comments.
However, sources close to the couple have indicated that they feel hurt and disappointed by the actor's remarks.
Reports suggest they are even contemplating legal action against him for defamation.
The fallout from this exchange continues to unfold, leaving fans and critics alike eager to see how it will impact both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Chalamet's upcoming film.
