Tom Bower's book on Meghan Markle

[SmileyFaces12]

It's out next week, titled 'Revenge'. I've ordered it already!

Facts trump opinions.

I couldn't agree more but since you or indeed anyone else on the thread are unable to provide any facts about M's personality, history or personal life, then opinions will have to be an unworthy substitute in this discussion.

The only people who have publicly complained about her "ditching" them are either the Markle relatives, or people who met her a couple of times and tried to exploit her to make money

Like Piers Morgan who is absolutely obsessed with her. They met once for a drink, he became infatuated and was forever tweeting about her and how wonderful she was, he was almost stalkerish in his intense praise of her. I saw a screenshot of all his tweets, and all I can say is, I would've been ditching him too!

She sensibly put space between them, and he turned on her. His obsession with how wonderful she is, has now turned to intense hate. He didn't get an invite to the wedding (unsurprisedly) and from that moment on he attacks her at every opportunity.

I wonder if he actually is unwell because for 4 years now he has been ranting and raving about her in the most unpleasant and nasty way.

LondonWolf you've posted forty six times just in this one thread alone.

Seriously ?? You have counted that !!?

And?

I know! 😁

Pretty hypocritical for someone with nearly 50 anti-Meghan posts in one thread alone (God knows how many hundreds in other Meghan threads) to keep accusing others of being obsessed and "extremely invested."

Anyway you clearly can't prove your weird allegation (since you can't even come up with a single name) and it's pretty obviously not true that Meghan had dumped "everyone" she knew pre-Harry.

Maybe you can drop this odd fixation of yours now?

I've just gone back and looked and most of my posts are in response to M supporters getting angry with me for something minor I have said, followed by a few posts of back and forth around that with very little further mention of M. So you actually are proving my point, alongside the actual counting of all my posts, which I don't really know what to make of 😬

Afternoon! Just popping our head round the door to remind all posters to please post in a civil manner - when we start to see lots of posts which break our Talk Guidelines we sometimes have to delete threads, which we don't want to have to do. Thanks, all.

I didn't count your posts, there are widgets that can tell you how many times someone has posted in a thread in 2 seconds.

And asking you to provide proof of your allegations is not "getting angry", nor is it "extremely invested" (certainly not anywhere near as invested in racking up the huge number of posts you've made in numerous Meghan threads).

Anyway well done on detracting attention from your obviously untrue allegation by hurling personal insults around.

Still no proof? You're not even going to try? Hmm.

Er she has a wide circle of friends ? Didn't she dump Jessica Mulroney ? Serena Williams denied they were friends, she said they were acquaintances.

You've got a nerve!

You harangued me continually on and on an on for using a capital B instead of a small 'b' in the word 'book'.
You called me disingenuous and sneery for this major crime.
So don't do the sympathy thing... you pick on people.

The "only an acquaintance" claim is yet another anonymous unsourced allegation from the Bowers book, and Serena herself has contradicted it.

She and Serena have been close friends for more than ten years and Serena's spoken about their close friendship numerous times. This is what she said about Meghan:

"Meghan couldn’t be a better friend to me. Low moments, high moments, she’s always there, and that’s all I want to be to her."

As for Jessica, she stated on her Insta that she and Meghan are still close friends.

Serena Williams denied they were friends, she said they were acquaintances

No, she didn't. There's plenty of footage out there of Serena talking about how special Meghan is to her.

Oh I have been deleted. So I will post again removing what may have been the problematic descriptors.

@StolenWillowTree I am afraid, that given there's been a warning from MNHQ, I will have to remove myself from any further discussion. I wouldn't want to contribute to the thread being deleted or receive a ban

I don't think that using a widget to count my posts is any different tbh.

I haven't reported any of your posts. I like discussions to stand as fully as possible so that others reading are able to make up their own minds.

I'm afraid I won't engage with you and your inaccurate description of our discussion on the thread also @Roussette. They all stand I believe so others may make up their own minds

Yes, they certainly will.

It is plain for all to see.

Ah, I googled and Tom Bowers claims that the Vanity Fair writer Sam Kashner privately told... someone? (not clear who) that when Kashner phoned Serena, she "supposedly called Meghan an acquaintance."

This would be the same Sam Kashner who already made a public statement condemning the Bower book and calling it out as containing lies, as well as saying how much he admired and liked Meghan, referring to her as "an exceptionally warm and gracious, extraordinary woman with remarkable courage and intelligence" who he has "admiration and respect for."

And here is Serena talking about her strong friendship with Meghan. From 2min50

'Meghan Markle - my selfless friend'

Serena paid for her baby shower apparently so they became friends.
Listening now.

God, she is immature, self-absorbed, self-promoting, competitive, but Tom bower is a judgey old goat. Some of the things he details, I think "and"
But .......omg what a disaster from start to finish. Blanking her family, ghosting her father, ditching friends, the letter to her dad, the lawsuits. She is a narcissist but this book humanises her in my view. A lot of people are narcissists. I can see why she made the various bad decisions. So many men are narcissists and nobody notices or reports on it.
She happens to be a flawed human being who is scrutinised.

He says he has written a lot of biographies and he has never been sued

I’m kind of inured to any amount of nonsense happening on this thread.

(But thanks)
