A recent investigation by BuzzFeed News has unearthed a series of false pregnancy allegations propagated by Samantha Markle against her half-sister, Meghan Markle.
The Duchess of Sussex has long been the target of conspiracy theories, with Samantha Markle allegedly at the forefront of spreading misinformation about Meghan’s pregnancies.
BuzzFeed’s findings suggest that Samantha Markle, a self-described author and psychotherapist, collaborated with other detractors of Meghan and Prince Harry to disseminate the fabricated narrative.
The tweets in question have since been deleted from one of Samantha’s accounts, indicating a concerted effort to coordinate false information.
Accusations against Meghan include claims of social climbing into the British royal family and purportedly neglecting her American family, including their father Thomas Markle.
Despite avoiding these assertions in mainstream media interviews, Samantha Markle, aged 57, has been identified as a key figure in perpetuating the unfounded rumors.
Among the most vocal proponents of the false pregnancy rumors are individuals known as “Meghan truthers,” who assert that Meghan’s children, Archie and Lilibet, were conceived through in vitro fertilization and delivered via surrogate.
Some extreme claims even suggest that the Sussexes use lifelike baby dolls during public appearances with their children, casting doubt on the existence of Archie and Lilibet.
In a tweet from her now-suspended account AtTheMarkleSammy, Samantha Markle demanded proof of delivery from Meghan’s womb for the children to receive titles.
She insinuated that Archie may have been born via a surrogate, sparking further controversy and speculation among online communities.
Twitter recently suspended Samantha Markle’s account, citing potential targeted harassment as grounds for the action.
This suspension follows a defamation lawsuit filed by Samantha against Meghan, alleging the spread of false and malicious lies.
Her attorney, Douglas Cale, suggested that Samantha’s accounts may have been hacked, raising questions about the authenticity of the controversial tweets.
The phenomenon of fake pregnancy theories is not exclusive to Meghan Markle, with other high-profile women like Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, and Sophie Hunter facing similar baseless allegations.
The scrutiny faced by female celebrities during pregnancy, including accusations of wearing prosthetic bumps or faking weight loss postpartum, underscores the pervasive nature of celebrity conspiracy theories.
Conspiracy theorists scrutinize minute details such as the movement of a pregnant stomach in videos, as highlighted in a YouTube video dissected by BuzzFeed News.
The intense scrutiny surrounding Meghan’s pregnancies mirrors the broader trend of sensationalized speculation targeting female celebrities, perpetuating unfounded rumors and misinformation.
As the saga unfolds, the implications of Samantha Markle’s actions and the broader impact of false pregnancy narratives on public figures remain subjects of ongoing scrutiny and debate.
The intersection of personal vendettas, online misinformation, and celebrity culture underscores the complexities of modern media dynamics and the challenges faced by those thrust into the spotlight.
