Melissa McCarthy is stepping into the ring to defend none other than Meghan Markle! The 53-year-old comedic powerhouse, who once teamed up with the 42-year-old Duchess of Sussex for Meghan’s 40th birthday shenanigans, is coming out swinging against the trolls.
Meghan, in a moment of rare candor, spilled the tea on the cesspool that is social media, explaining why she’s giving it a wide berth. But fear not, because Melissa’s got her back!
In a recent chat with Page Six, Melissa unleashed her inner Mama Bear, declaring war on the keyboard warriors. “It bums me out for every woman and every person, that for no reason people just like to attack,” she exclaimed, shaking her head at the sheer audacity of it all. And boy, does she have a point!
Melissa sees Meghan not just as a Duchess, but as a beacon of awesomeness in a sea of negativity. “A smart, interesting woman that has her own life, for some reason, is incredibly threatening to some people,” Melissa quipped, echoing the sentiments of baffled onlookers everywhere.
But hold onto your hats, because Melissa isn’t done yet! She’s doubling down on her defense, showering Meghan with compliments like confetti at a birthday bash. “I always think, how inspiring!” she gushed, unable to contain her admiration for the woman who refuses to be silenced. “I’ve never once been threatened by someone who is amazing. I just think how inspiring. It’s really on the people throwing the hate.”
And just when you thought she couldn’t get any more fabulous, Melissa drops the mic with her final declaration: Meghan is “wonderful” and “awesome.” Boom! Mic drop, trolls. Mic drop. 🎤👑
