In a surprising turn of events at the Primetime Emmy Awards, actress and activist Judith Light confronted Megan Markle after she gate-crashed the ceremony uninvited.
Light, who won an Emmy Award that night for her role in “Sunday Night Lights,” expressed her disdain for Markle backstage and demanded that she leave, witnesses reported.
According to sources, Light was furious when she spotted Markle sneaking into the auditorium with her husband, Prince Harry.
She believed that Markle’s uninvited presence disrespected both the industry and the nominees, as she had not received an official invitation.
Light also accused Markle of trying to steal attention from the real stars of the night, many of whom have been vocal critics of Markle and Prince Harry since their departure from the royal family and relocation to California.
During commercial breaks, several individuals approached Markle and questioned her presence at the event.
They asked why she was even there in the first place.
Markle, dressed elegantly in a black dress and diamond necklace, attempted to appear nonchalant and explained that she was merely showing support for her friends and colleagues who were in attendance.
Light, however, was not convinced.
She reportedly confronted Markle, asking if her husband had done any work in television or film since leaving the royal family and asserting that Markle had no business being at the event.
Light emphasized that the evening was dedicated to honoring the hard work and achievements of those who had created quality content for the audience, and Markle did not belong among them.
She suggested that Markle should stick to the tabloids, where she could spread her alleged lies and drama.
Markle appeared shocked and offended by Light’s words, attempting to defend herself by mentioning her deals with Netflix and Spotify and her ongoing projects with them.
She also reminded Light that she had been nominated for an Emmy the previous year for her interview with Oprah Winfrey and expressed her deep respect for the industry.
Sources claim that Light dismissed Markle’s remarks, insinuating that her agreements with Netflix and Spotify were fraudulent and that she had provided no value or interest to them.
Light accused Markle of using these platforms solely for personal gain and promoting her own agenda.
Additionally, Light criticized Markle’s interview with Oprah, labeling it a disgrace and accusing Markle of lying about the royal family and her mental health.
She concluded by asserting that Markle should be ashamed of herself, claiming that she was not an actor, producer, or humanitarian, but rather a narcissist and a fraud.
Light then demanded that Markle leave the Emmys and never return.
She warned Markle to stay away from other nominees and guests who allegedly did not wish to associate with her.
Markle, on the verge of tears, grabbed her husband’s hand and exited the venue, trailed by paparazzi and security guards.
Light’s confrontation with Markle caused a stir among Emmy attendees and viewers, who took to social media to express their opinions.
Some praised Light for standing up to Markle and condemned Markle’s behavior, while others criticized Light for being rude and mean-spirited, accusing her of jealousy and bitterness.
One Twitter user hailed Light as a legend and a hero, commending her for exposing Markle’s alleged fakeness and hypocrisy.
They believed that Light deserved an Emmy for speaking out.
Another source stated that Light, with her extensive experience in the industry, knows what it takes to be successful and respected.
She has no tolerance for individuals like Markle, whom she perceives as using their fame and influence for selfish and dishonest purposes.
