Hollywood legend and comedy icon, Eddie Murphy, has fired back at Meghan Markle for her negative remarks about his latest Christmas movie, Candy Cane Lane.<\/p>\n

The film, which premiered on Amazon Prime Video on December 1, 2023, features Murphy as a man who unknowingly strikes a deal with a mischievous elf in order to win a Christmas decoration contest.<\/p>\n

Murphy has accused Meghan of being a spoiled brat and a hypocrite, lacking both a sense of humor and an appreciation for the festive spirit.<\/p>\n

Meghan Markle, currently residing in the US with her husband Prince Harry and their two children, watched the movie with her family and was deeply disturbed by its content.<\/p>\n

Reportedly finding it offensive, stupid, and culturally insensitive, she expressed her discontent.<\/p>\n

Meghan complained that the movie portrayed Christmas as a materialistic and competitive holiday, mocking the traditions and values of the monarchy.<\/p>\n

She also claimed it stereotyped and ridiculed elves as evil and greedy creatures.<\/p>\n

Known for her activism and humanitarian work, Meghan took to social media to vent her frustration, urging her followers to boycott the film and labeling it a flop and a waste of time and money.<\/p>\n

She even suggested that Eddie Murphy had lost his touch and sold out to Amazon.<\/p>\n

Eddie Murphy, who has received praise from critics and fans alike for his comeback to the comedy genre, was far from amused by Meghan’s comments.<\/p>\n

He reportedly confronted her privately, telling her to mind her own business and to “piss off.”<\/p>\n

Defending his movie as a funny and heartwarming tale that celebrates the joy and magic of Christmas, Murphy emphasized that it was not meant to be taken seriously or literally.<\/p>\n

He pointed out the film’s success, topping the charts on Amazon Prime Video and receiving positive reviews from audiences.<\/p>\n

Not only did Eddie Murphy criticize Meghan for her role in the accusations of racism against the King and Princess of Wales, but he also expressed his disapproval of her involvement in Omid Scobie’s bombshell book, which reveals secrets and scandals within the royal family.<\/p>\n

Murphy accused Meghan of being a liar and a traitor, claiming that she had betrayed and damaged the royal family, and therefore had no right to judge his movie or his career.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood star, who has three upcoming films including Josh Cooley’s animated prequel Transformers 1, Jason Bateman’s space race drama project Artemis for Apple TV+, and Kristen Scott Thomas’s feature directorial debut My Mother’s Wedding, received support and approval from his wife Paige Butcher, a model and actress, as well as his co-stars Tracey Ellis Ross, Gillian Bell, Nick Offerman, and David Alan Greer.<\/p>\n

They all praised his performance and the movie itself, expressing their disappointment and disgust with Meghan’s comments.<\/p>\n

They believed she was simply jealous and bitter about Eddie’s success and popularity.<\/p>\n

Candy Cane Lane, directed by Reginald Hudlin and written by Kelly Younger, is a 2023 American Christmas comedy film.<\/p>\n

Alongside Eddie Murphy, the cast includes Tracey Ellis Ross, Gillian Bell, Thaddeus J. Mixon, Ken Marino, Trevante Rhodes, David Alan Greer, and Nick Offerman.<\/p>\n

Released on December 1, 2023, Candy Cane Lane tells the story of a man determined to win his neighborhood’s Christmas decoration contest.<\/p>\n

However, he unknowingly makes a pact with a mischievous elf who brings the 12 days of Christmas to life, wreaking havoc on the town.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
