I finished watching #HarryandMeghanonNetflix and I cried so many times throughout. The horrors, betrayal, fear, lies, obsession, racism, desperation and confusion was so much to watch - I hope they stay together, cling to each other & live a happy life away from that toxicity.
I think everyone who has watched it needs to take a step back and understand the sheer violent power of social media, bullying, abuse, pile-ons, lies, rumours, accusations and allegations.
As they said - the impact is real. The impact is life changing, and life threatening.

The role the mainstream media has played, especially the role other women have played in attempting to destroy & bully Meghan - I was so disappointed to hear critical, malicious snippets from the Loose Women panel in the background of the doc in particular. It’s just depressing.
The irony too, that if she had have killed or harmed herself, the mainstream media (the same people harassing and bullying her) would have profited from their coverage of it, and from their faux mourning/outrage/upset.
If anything, that doc has made me so so proud of them both for recognising what was happening and pulling away from the family, the situation, the media, the country even.
That took some serious bravery and risk taking, and I hope it pays off for them long-term.

Extremely difficult to watch overall, but I’m so glad they decided to say their piece and show what really happened to them both, and their kids.
They achieve/win nothing tangible/financial from that doc, or from leaving the family - just mental peace, validation and closure.

Just another horrible example of a smart, ambitious, attractive, successful, talented woman being USED for what people could get from her until she became too successful & too popular, so they had to destroy her.
And that’s without the obvious and appalling racism.

Another thought: it reminded me very much of people who suddenly realise that they were born into abusive and toxic families, and they realise they have to break the pattern and escape. Those people are always vilified in a family.
