Meghan Markle Faces Backlash for Wildfire Relief Efforts Amid Growing Public Criticism
Here we go again—Meghan Markle is back in the headlines, this time for diving into Los Angeles Wildfire relief efforts. But instead of being seen as a selfless act, her involvement is being criticized as yet another "disaster tourist" move. As the world watches the destruction unfold, Meghan has taken the opportunity to pose with bags, hug victims, and make it all about herself. Yep, it's the same old Meghan.
Wildfires have devastated Los Angeles, leaving numerous families homeless, including celebrities like Leon Mea and Adam Brody. Amid the chaos, Meghan decided to show her support by visiting the Altadena Girls Fire Recovery Fund. Sounds noble, right? Well, here's the catch—it’s giving off major "publicity stunt" vibes.
Meghan showed up in a casual outfit—jeans, a black tee, and her signature LA baseball cap—carrying multiple bags all by herself. Let’s be real: When was the last time Meghan Markle carried anything other than her own ego? There was no visible security team, no Prince Harry in sight, just Meghan, her camera-ready smile, and an awkward, attention-seeking moment.
But wait, it gets even more questionable. The Altadena Girls organization posted a video showing Meghan rubbing a girl’s arm and lugging those bags as if she were auditioning for *The Real Housewives of Charity*. The organization thanked everyone who showed up in an Instagram caption, but let’s not pretend we don’t know how those paparazzi shots made their way into the press.
The whole thing screams, "Look at me, I’m relatable. I’m generous. I’m not spiraling." Except, Meghan, you *are* spiraling. Let’s break this down. First of all, no Harry. Maybe the Duke of Delusion has had enough of these staged spectacles. The LA baseball cap? It’s giving off the “please Hollywood, let me back in” vibes. Meghan carrying bags on her own? Since when does she do manual labor—oh right, only when the cameras are rolling. No security team? Is this the same woman who wouldn’t leave the house without a bodyguard? And the paparazzi shots? If she didn’t call them herself, I’d be surprised.
What’s truly tragic here is how Meghan keeps trying (and failing) to rebrand herself. One moment, she’s the philanthropist; the next, she’s the victim of media persecution. Speaking of media, Netflix must be loving this mess—every time Meghan pulls a stunt like this, it gives them more material for their inevitable tell-all sequel. And let’s not forget about the sweater tied around her neck. Is she trying to look like she’s “rich but cares”? Meghan, you’re not fooling anyone. You look like you’re heading to tennis lessons with Armando after a day of volunteering.
Can we talk about the desperation in every frame? It's as if she can’t resist the camera, even when it’s doing her more harm than good. Hollywood has clearly moved on, and Meghan’s scrambling to stay relevant. Meanwhile, Princess Catherine’s glow-up is likely driving Meghan crazy.
The kicker? None of this is working. The backlash is loud and clear. People are calling her a "disaster tourist," a "publicity hound," and a "tragedy opportunist." Even some of her die-hard fans are rolling their eyes. But Meghan? She just keeps pushing forward. Can’t stop, won’t stop. And the saddest part? She genuinely believes this is helping her image.
So what’s next for the Duchess of Delusion? Another staged charity event? A Netflix documentary no one asked for? A country music album? At this point, nothing would surprise us.
