Meghan Markle’s pal Christopher Bouzy has ranted at all of the “online trolls and conspiracy theorists” and advised them to stop their “brutal campaign” against the Duchess, following the reaction of her twerking video.
The Duchess of Sussex made headlines earlier this month when she posted a highly uncommon video of herself and Prince Harry in hospital dancing to Starrkeisha’s The Baby Momma Dance in order to generate labour, shortly before Princess Lilibet’s arrival.
The video was mostly blamed by fans and royal watchers, with several of them describing it as “cringe”. Others suspected her of her bump not looking real and questioned her athletic performance while nine months pregnant.
But now, one of her pals, tech entrepreneur Christopher Bouzy, came to Meghan’s defence and said the online comments have made her life a “nightmare”.
Mr Bouzy, who attended in the Sussexes’s bombshell Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, said that the Duchess’s “lighthearted video” was “equipped” by trolls who “twisted it into ammunition” for accusations against her.
He wrote in Newsweek: “When Meghan Markle uploaded a nonchalant video of herself dancing in a hospital room while nine months pregnant, she probably thought she was sharing a relatable moment that other mothers would appreciate.
“Instead, within hours, online trolls and conspiracy theorists weaponised it as ‘proof’ she was never pregnant at all.
“This nightmare is what Meghan’s life has become. Every joyful moment gets twisted into ammunition by people who’ve made destroying her their full-time job.”
He said: “Imagine being nine months pregnant, your body aching, preparing to bring life into the world, and thousands of strangers are dissecting your every photo to ‘prove’ your baby isn’t real.”
Elsewhere, he lashed out at the “moonbump” conspiracy, saying it is a “special kind of cruelty” and acclaimed the Duchess for sharing her miscarriage story.
Mr Bouzy added: “This isn’t normal criticism. It’s psychological torture designed to break someone’s spirit. And the worst part? These aren’t random acts of cruelty. They’re coordinated, monetised, and amplified by people who profit from Meghan’s pain.”
