Koy, who hosted the award show, spared no punches in ridiculing Harry and Meghan for their contentious interview with Oprah Winfrey, their lawsuit against a British newspaper, and what he perceived as their lack of talent and credibility. In his opening monologue, Koy quipped, "Let's give it up for our next presenters, Harry and Meghan. Oh wait, they're not here; they're too busy doing absolutely nothing for millions of dollars."
Referencing the Oprah interview where the couple accused the royal family of racism and mistreatment, Koy highlighted the contradictions in their actions. He mocked their claims of wanting privacy while sharing their personal story on TV, questioning their sincerity. Koy also poked fun at Meghan's lawsuit against the Mail on Sunday, suggesting the outdated nature of handwritten letters.
Koy went on to challenge the couple's qualifications to produce content for Netflix, criticizing their alleged lack of experience, skills, and talent. Drawing a comparison to the Kardashians, he concluded by expressing hope for Netflix to cancel their deal, deeming them unworthy of recognition and respect.
While the audience and viewers responded with laughter and applause, Netflix took a different stance. The streaming giant released a statement citing creative differences and breach of trust as reasons for terminating the contract, emphasizing that Koy's views did not align with their values.
Despite the public reaction, Harry and Meghan had yet to respond to Netflix's decision or Koy's comments. Sources close to the couple conveyed shock and devastation, stating they felt betrayed and humiliated. Netflix's move left them without other plans or sources of income, challenging their perception of being untouchable in their pursuit of fame and fortune.
