"I'm truly honored to receive this award tonight," Meg Ryan began her speech at the Saro Film Festival. But her tone took a dramatic turn as she addressed a topic that had evidently been troubling her: Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex.
The audience fell silent, clearly shocked by Ryan’s sudden change in demeanor. With palpable contempt, Ryan declared, "Meghan Markle is a disgrace to Hollywood and the British royal family. She is nothing more than a vapid, attention-seeking narcissist who has made a mockery of both the entertainment industry and the monarchy."
Ryan didn't hold back, continuing her critique. She labeled Meghan’s acting career as lackluster, describing her performances as "wooden" and lacking real talent. Ryan also took aim at Meghan's transition into royal life, accusing her of using her marriage to Prince Harry to further her own fame and personal agenda. "Meghan Markle is the laughing stock of Hollywood," Ryan stated. "No one takes her seriously as an actress, and her attempts to portray herself as a global humanitarian and fashion icon are utterly laughable."
The usually composed and gracious Ryan was uncharacteristically blunt, with every word underscoring her disdain for Meghan Markle. "She's a fame-hungry social climber who has duped the world into believing she's an inspirational figure," Ryan asserted. "The truth is, she's just a two-bit actress who married into royalty to achieve the fame that has eluded her throughout her career."
The audience was visibly uncomfortable, some even shifting in their seats as Ryan continued her onslaught. "Meghan Markle is a disgrace," Ryan said. "I will not remain silent while she continues to make a mockery of both the entertainment industry and the British royal family. She deserves to be treated as the joke she is."
The speech quickly went viral, with social media users around the world reacting to Ryan's controversial comments. Reactions were mixed: some praised Ryan for speaking out, while others condemned her for the personal and vicious nature of her attack. Meghan Markle’s representatives declined to comment, but sources close to The Duchess suggested that she was deeply hurt and saddened by Ryan's words. "She's been trying to rise above the negativity and focus on her humanitarian work," a source said. "Attacks like this from a fellow actress really sting."
The incident has sparked a broader conversation about the treatment of public figures, especially women in the entertainment industry. Critics have condemned the toxic culture that leads to such personal attacks, while others have defended Ryan's right to express her opinion.
In a subsequent interview, Ryan stood by her comments, declaring, "I said what I said and meant every word of it. Meghan Markle is a disgrace, and I won’t apologize for calling out her BS. She's a shameless self-promoter who has managed to con the entire world into believing she’s this great inspirational woman. In reality, she's just an attention-seeking narcissist."
Ryan also criticized Meghan’s humanitarian work, describing it as a PR stunt aimed at advancing her own agenda. "She’s not interested in genuinely helping people; she’s only interested in the attention and accolades," Ryan claimed. "She’s a fraud, and I’m not afraid to say it."
Addressing the backlash, Ryan dismissed it as a desperate attempt by Meghan’s defenders to silence the truth. "I’m not going to back down just because people are upset that I called out their precious Meghan Markle. The truth hurts, and sometimes it needs to be spoken, even if it’s not popular."
As the fallout from Ryan’s speech continues, it remains uncertain how the situation will evolve. What is clear is that Meg Ryan has unequivocally expressed her disdain for Meghan Markle, and she shows no sign of retreating from her stance.
"That can't be real!" exclaims Andy Sner. "It's not! We won, we won, we won!" Andy then goes on to reveal that the scathing speech by Meg Ryan was actually a piece of fanfiction and not real news. "I hope you enjoyed that Megan Markle fanfiction. It’s not real, and oh my God, I wanted to see how long it took before you realized it wasn’t real."
Andy reflects on how some people may have fallen for the fabricated story, and emphasizes the importance of verifying information. "Guys, this would be international news everywhere if Meg Ryan had really gone to the Saro Film Festival to accept an award and instead chose to call out Meghan Markle. It’s simply not true."
He encourages people to be cautious and do their research before believing and sharing such stories. "You can literally take 5 seconds to Google this stuff. When in doubt, search for news. There’s no real news about Meg Ryan criticizing Meghan Markle. It’s all AI-generated content and not factual."
