The Sussexes are calling The Sun's apology over an incredibly graphic column written about Meghan nothing but a PR stunt.
The paragraph that drew the most outrage read,"Meghan, though, is a different story. I hate her. Not like I hate Nicola Sturgeon or Rose West. I hate her on a cellular level. At night, I'm unable to sleep as I lie there, grinding my teeth and dreaming of the day when she is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain while the crowds chant, 'Shame!' and throw lumps of excrement at her.
Of course, his words drew the ire of many on social media ... with a ton of folks calling his words misogynistic, racist and downright evil -- just the sheer amount of vitriol he expressed for Meghan in the wake ofThere were reportedly scores of complaints filed over the column, and eventually ... The Sun got the message and apologized. They, in part,"Columnists’ opinions are their own, but as a publisher, we realise that with free expression comes responsibility.
Oh dear. I’ve rather put my foot in it. In a column I wrote about Meghan, I made a clumsy reference to a scene in Game of Thrones and this has gone down badly with a great many people. I’m horrified to have caused so much hurt and I shall be more careful in future.The Sun added,"We at The Sun regret the publication of this article and we are sincerely sorry." They deleted the piece from their website and their archives as well.
Welp, the Sussexes weren't having ... calling The Sun's word empty and meaningless -- especially since they, apparently, have not reached out to the one person that matters.
