Melissa McCarthy‘s defending her royal homie … calling out trolls who hate on Meghan Markle — and saying it’s ’cause people feel threatened by successful women.
The actress spoke with Page Six earlier this week in a new video posted Sunday … and, she stood up for her pal — saying she gets so much hate for seemingly no reason.
McCarthy then adds she feels intelligent women who have lives are consistently torn down ’cause people find them threatening … which she says is totally the case with MM.
Melissa adds people should just look at the Duchess of Sussex — and other successful women — and find them inspiring rather than attempt to tear her down.
Meghan and Melissa have been friends for years … remember, back in 2021 the pair made a video together to promote Markle’s mentorship program entitled 40×40 — which joked about her royal status.
As we’ve reported … Meghan and Prince Harry catch a lotta flak — with everything from interviews they’ve given to their Netflix documentary receiving hate online and in the media. Even other celebs — like Rebel Wilson — have sorta dissed Meghan publicly.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
Remember, just last year Bill Simmons trashed the pair as “grifters” after their Spotify deal fell apart — so, they take it on the chin all the time.
But, looks like Melissa McCarthy’s got Meg’s back … so, clearly some of H’wood’s still in their corner.
