Meghan Markle

I am not here to have a go at her per se but the bile her fans spew at Catherine and her children is just awful. Faked her cancer is the lowest of the low.
Whatever you think of the royals, Catherine isn’t Royal by birth and is pretty inoffensive, learned the ropes, is great in her role and doesn’t seem to make much of a fuss.
But the things I have seen written about her have been persistently rank by the so-called Sussex Squad.
I know that Meghan hasn’t always had an easy time of it in terms of the press/media, and to be quite frank I don’t think she had a clue what she was letting herself in for in terms of her role and what was expected of her. Some of the headlines were uncalled for and the Compton one was so insulting I don’t know how it was allowed.
I made a comment under a glossy magazine account recently, just a pic of Catherine saying how elegant she looked, and the reply came quickly that I hadn’t mentioned Meghan. And when I pointed out the post was about the Princess I got called a white, racist middle class old bitch. I had not said a single word about the Duchess.
I hope the King does make some form of peace with them before he dies. Because a bit of peace in the whole scenario would help.
And maybe her fans would back off a bit.

I think the nun’s in the Magdeline laundries were pretty toxic Jesus fans. A couple of elderly nuns in Scotland have recently been prosecuted for their abuse of children in their care back in the day. And what about the nutjobs outside abortion clinics. And priests with choirboys. Not proselytising doesn’t stop a Jesus fan being toxic.

Christianity (in all its forms) is a proselytising religion. Thats the point.

They live to spread the word and get you on board.

Yungblood.
They're insane

Actually I would never said this years ago but I agree now. I ended up in some Facebook group and they’re unhinged

On X, the Katy Perry fans are pretty awful . (But there’s not many I guess 🤣)

I tolerate Swifties but Taylor’s brainwashed them into something strange way of living with Easter eggs and all the pish

The Chris Brown fans who blame Rihanna for him beating her have got to be pretty high on the list.

I know someone who went to see him last year, she's a teacher.
I don't look on her kindly.

Randomlygeneratedname · 21/06/2026 19:43

Though I loathe to call her a celebrity, I jave heard The Nursery Nurse has a horrific and toxic fanbase

Michael Jackson.

If his name was Dennis and he was a painter decorator down the road I'm pretty sure they'd all say he was a disgusting creature wanting little boys to sleep in his bed, regardless of the accusations. They are complete apologists are constantly trot out the 'Well if it really happened why did they take the pay out?' to which I say 'If it really didn't happen why did he give a pay out?'

I always wonder if they would have let their child stay over his house.

Came here to say exactly the same thing.

Brittney Spears

Thepeopleversuswork · 21/06/2026 20:03

Surely it's not the celebrity per se it's the mindset of the sorts of people who become superfans?

I'm all for supportng an artist you love but the whole concept of a superfan is inherently childish and a bit unbalanced in my book. Anyone over the age of about 20 who devotes that much time, money and emotional attention to a person they don't know has some sort of emotional deficit.

Bamboozle30001 · 21/06/2026 20:17

Most male kpop groups have some right lunatics for fans. Stray kids and seventeen are ones that come to mind.

The Sasaeng are definitely the most toxic fans. They're known for hacking phones and emails to get flight schedules or to harass family members of celebrities.

Is that kpop? I’ve heard some of those fans are quite insane. (I like a bit of kpop here and there as a casual listener).

Meghan Markle and her paid ‘Sussex Squad’.
Absolute human filth.

That squad is one of the most evil I’ve ever come across. Truly disgusting people.

Yes, the term originated in Korea but it's used in China as well. I'm not sure if this link will work but this is Chinese actor Zhang Linghe's appearance at a shopping centre

Taylor Swift. Parasocial fans are pretty toxic

Michael Barrymore

How?

PaddlerRock · 21/06/2026 21:19

I don't even have to think about it. Taylor Swift.

Blimms · 21/06/2026 17:14

I would go further and say all religions.

@Blimms

I don't think it would be accurate to say that modern pagan religions - Wicca, Druidry, reconstructed Celtic, Hellenic, Egyptian pagan religions, etc - have the most toxic fanbase.

Have you any examples of these particular pagan religions being known for having a toxic fanbase overall?

They operate on X and IG, wishing cancer on anyone who has a critical word to say about MM.. at the same time accusing The PoW of faking her own cancer and so it goes on.
They are repellant, clearly reflecting the character and methods of their leader.
They are universally uneducated, American and wholly ignorant about Britain/The Royal Family, and British people.
Never seen anything so loathsome on social media.

Selena Gomez, sent death threats to her ex’f wife for years and constantly try to twist the story to make her seem like a stalker.

Wipeywipey · 21/06/2026 21:33

It is interesting to me all the people saying Swifties. I remember all of the news stories with the quiet peaceful queues into the stadiums for her Eras Tour compared to the football violence in other towns, for example. People making people they never met friendship bracelets compared to men killing their wives because their team lost... I don't think I ever heard a Swiftie killed someone over something minor because they were a fan of Taylor. Football and sports clearly worse from what I can see.

Bex071509 · 21/06/2026 21:36

Michael Jackson fans.
even if they believe nothing happened with those young boys, how can they not admit that a grown man sleeping in the SAME bed as the children isn’t wrong?!?!?!

From what I've seen both the pro-Meghan and pro-Catherine sides are well populated with rabid, swivel-eyed, mouth-frothing, utter raging lunatics.
