In a rather unexpected collaboration, Megyn Kelly and Piers Morgan have taken to social media to deliver a scathing critique of Meghan Markle’s recent Instagram content and overall career trajectory.
Their joint appeal implores the Duchess of Sussex to step back from the public eye, particularly following a slew of what they termed “cringe” videos that have circulated online.
Kelly initiated this public service announcement with a candid TikTok video while prepping for her SiriusXM show.
Both she and Morgan voiced their discontent regarding Markle’s latest social media antics, particularly targeting a video showcasing her exuberant reaction to the Los Angeles Dodgers winning the World Series.
In their eyes, the ex-actress’s attempts at garnering attention have landed flat, leading them to beg her to “go away.”
During the video discussion, Kelly held a coffee cup and shared some forthright advice for Markle.
She humorously suggested that the former royal should consider relocating to Canada indefinitely to escape scrutiny.
Kelly stated, “Stay off camera.
We don’t want to see you,” proposing that it could take years before Markle could even think about reviving her public image.
The former Fox News host didn’t hold back her criticism of Markle’s behavior during tragedies, likening her presence at these events to “disaster tourism.” She pointedly recalled Markle and Prince Harry wandering through the remnants of homes devastated by the Eaton Fire in Altadena earlier this year, an area where actual victims weren’t even allowed access.
Kelly’s pointed remarks drew on Markle’s controversial moment in Uvalde, Texas, shortly after a devastating school shooting there in May 2022.
Critics labeled Markle’s public appearance as an opportunistic photo opportunity in a place marred by profound loss and grief.
“When I say get out of the limelight, that includes showing up at the next shooting or disaster,” Kelly argued, expressed exasperation over Markle’s penchant for spotlight-seeking at unfortunate times.
Turning her attention to Markle’s recent social media posts, Kelly was not shy about calling out the authenticity of the Duchess’s laughter.
“Work on your laugh.
It needs to sound genuine, not like a rehearsed reaction after a sports victory,” she stated while referencing Markle’s recent video that featured a seemingly bored Harry observing her dramatic expression of excitement.
In a twist of fate, Morgan echoed Kelly’s sentiments, urging Markle to reconsider her online presence.
He described her World Series video as “one of the worst things I’ve ever watched” and likened her laughter to that of a “deranged hyena.” It’s evident that both media personalities believe Markle’s attempts to connect with audiences have often missed the mark.
The response from the public has been mixed, showcasing a spectrum of opinions.
While some fans resonate with Kelly’s message, expressing frustration over Markle’s past behavior, others criticize the duo, labeling them as bullies.
One user pointed out the irony of Markle’s pursuit of privacy while simultaneously courting the limelight.
Adding to the conversation, Kelly humorously advised Markle on her marriage, suggesting she shouldn’t entertain thoughts of leaving Prince Harry, despite rumors about a potential tell-all book should the couple split.
It appears to be as much a warning for Markle as it is a commentary on the dynamics of royal life.
As for Markle’s culinary ambitions, Kelly didn’t pull any punches there either.
She jestingly encouraged Markle to abandon any pretensions of following in Martha Stewart’s footsteps.
Citing instances where Markle struggled with simple cooking tasks, Kelly pointed out the disconnect between her aspirations and reality.
This rallying call from Kelly and Morgan is more than just criticism; it’s a vivid commentary on celebrity culture and its obsession with social media.
It raises a larger question: in a world clamoring for authenticity, how does one distinguish genuine efforts from contrived publicity stunts?
It remains to be seen if Markle will take the advice of her critics or continue to forge her path through the tumultuous waters of public perception.
