WIBTA for giving an interview about an old friend who is now famous?

They literally didn’t. I may have been mistaken about the timing, but the photo exists, perhaps it was a press photo and not the launch. I think it was on the Vogue website. That person was incredibly versed in Megan markle related media, down to quoting the number of negative articles written about her in one month and reciting a full paragraph of verbatim insults that were thrown at her by the media. I can’t compete with that. That said, she did take press photos in a loud $3000 dress for a charity line. That’s bad taste in my book.

I commented on two separate threads at the same time, and had a discussion with someone on the other one. I don’t see that as particularly excessive. I keep seeing this pontification of her, hence why I brought it up twice, instead of once. My tits are totally calm.

All I said was that the racist abuse was blown out of proportion. I never conceded that, because i was clear about that from the start. All racist abuse is unwarranted and hence any is blown out of proportion. I said that most of the royal family should also cop shit for the way they behave. That does not preclude the fact that there is warranted criticism.

My opinion of her stems from many things. Her being rude doesn’t help, but I certainly didn’t care or expect much from what was at the time a c-list celebrity. It does frame the lens through which I interpret some of her actions, as do the corroborating stories from other people.

There are many people who disagree with me. There are also many people who agree. On both sides there are daily mail zombies who hang on its every word, and on both sides there are rational people, like myself, who may indulge in the daily mail, but have found sources other than British tabloids from which to draw information.
