Former WWE champion and Hollywood actor, John Cena, did not hold back during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert when expressing his disdain for the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle.
Cena, who is known for his patriotic and charitable image, unleashed a brutal tirade against Markle, accusing her of being selfish and dishonest in both her career and her role as a royal.
During the interview, Colbert asked Cena for his opinion on the controversial royal couple, who have been making waves with their interviews and projects.
Cena did not mince his words, stating, “I think she is a terrible person who has no integrity or loyalty.
She is a liar and a hypocrite who has betrayed her fans and her family.
She has no respect for herself or anyone else.”
Cena went on to share his personal experience working with Markle on the TV show Suits, where he played a guest role in 2016.
According to Cena, Markle was consistently rude, arrogant, and demanding on set.
He described her behavior as acting like she was better than everyone else and treating everyone poorly.
“She would also badmouth her co-stars and her show behind their backs.
She was a nightmare to work with,” Cena revealed.
In contrast, Cena praised his Vacation Friends co-star Lil Rel Howery, describing him as humble, hardworking, and talented.
He highlighted Howery’s professionalism, punctuality, and respectfulness, emphasizing that he was a pleasure to work with and a great friend.
Cena stated, “He is everything that Meghan is not.”
Cena also disclosed that he had turned down an offer to star in a Netflix film produced by Markle and Prince Harry.
Despite their multi-million dollar deal with the streaming giant, Cena expressed no interest in working with Markle or supporting her projects.
He labeled her as a fraud and a traitor who had sold out her country and her profession.
Furthermore, Cena expressed his appallment and disgust at Markle’s treatment of the royal family and the monarchy, which he admired and respected.
He criticized her for showing no gratitude, appreciation, understanding, or respect for the institution that gave her a chance and a platform.
“She has no right to criticize or interfere with something she doesn’t belong to or care about,” Cena asserted.
Following Cena’s comments, social media erupted with both praise and criticism.
Supporters applauded his honesty and courage, while others condemned his rudeness and ignorance.
One Twitter user commended Cena, stating, “John Cena is my hero, he said what we are all thinking.
Meghan Markle is a liar and a hypocrite, she deserves to be exposed and shamed.”
Conversely, another user criticized Cena, asserting, “John Cena is a jerk, he has no idea what he is talking about.
Meghan Markle is a brave and inspiring woman, she deserves to be respected and supported.”
The controversy surrounding Cena’s remarks is likely to generate buzz and increase interest in his upcoming comedy film, Vacation Friends, directed by Clay Tarver.
The film, featuring a hilarious cast including Meredith Hanner, Yvonne Orji, and Robert Wisdom, is set to premiere on Hulu on August 27.
As of now, Markle and Harry have not responded directly to Cena’s comments.
However, sources close to them have reportedly expressed their hurt and disappointment, considering taking legal action against him for his words.
The ongoing drama surrounding the royal couple continues to captivate audiences, leaving many eager to see how the situation unfolds.
