In the midst of her divorce from husband Randy Bick, comedian Kathy Griffin has hit back at Meghan Markle for her harsh comments about Griffin’s personal life.
Known for her controversial opinions and actions, Markle didn’t hold back, calling Griffin a “quitter,” a “loser,” and a “disgrace to women” for ending her marriage on what would have been their fourth wedding anniversary.
Markle also took a jab at Griffin’s infamous photo scandal involving a fake severed head of former President Donald Trump, accusing her of being “desperate for attention” and lacking talent.
Markle further suggested that Griffin should “go away” and “stop embarrassing herself.”
Griffin, no stranger to controversy herself, wasted no time responding to Markle’s remarks.
Taking to Twitter, she labeled Markle a “hypocrite” and a “liar.”
Griffin pointed out that it was Markle who quit her royal duties and moved to the US with Prince Harry, leaving behind her family and responsibilities.
She accused Markle of fabricating stories and playing the victim to gain sympathy and fame.
Griffin challenged Markle to provide evidence or witnesses to support her claims of racism, bullying, and mental health issues.
Defending her decision to divorce Bick, Griffin emphasized that it was a mutual and amicable choice.
Over the years, they had grown apart and realized they were better off as friends.
Despite the split, Griffin expressed her love and respect for Bick, emphasizing that they remained on good terms.
Addressing her infamous photo scandal, Griffin defended it as political satire and a form of free speech.
She stood by her decision and expressed pride in standing up to Trump and his supporters.
Griffin highlighted the backlash she faced, including death threats, harassment, and censorship, emphasizing the high price she paid for her artistic expression.
In her tweet, Griffin concluded by suggesting that it was Markle who should “go away” and “stop embarrassing herself.”
She labeled Markle a “fake” and a “phony” with no credibility or integrity.
Griffin accused Markle of betraying her royal family and country, spreading lies and negativity.
Griffin and Bick, who surprised everyone with their New Year’s Eve 2019 wedding, have kept their divorce relatively low-key and private.
They haven’t disclosed the specific reasons for their split or any details about their settlement.
Additionally, they have remained silent about their current relationship status and future plans.
Meanwhile, Markle and Harry, who recently released a Netflix documentary series about their lives, have faced criticism and backlash from various celebrities and media outlets.
They’ve been accused of being “whiny,” “selfish,” and “hypocritical” for leaving the royal family to pursue their own interests.
Furthermore, they have been challenged to provide proof of their allegations of racism, bullying, and mental health issues within the royal family.
As this divorce drama unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Griffin and Markle will engage in further public exchanges or if they will choose to move on from this heated exchange.
