Have you seen the reports showing her performing on the street. Sucking a baby’s bottle and talking gibberish. Why would anyone think this was a good idea? It’s absolutely cringe worthy.

I can't stand Ellen de Whatsit, so no, I've not seen it.
Just googled and it sounds like the kind of thing Ant and Dec used to do.

Most guests on Ellen have fun. I have never much cared for this aspect of the comedy of her show, but even Michelle Obama let loose and had fun by shopping at Target with Ellen and even dancing on her show.

Other guests who have done the same include Emma Watson, Neil Patrick Harris, Adele and Bruno Mars.

Who sucked on the bottle and talked gibberish?

Meghan or Ellen?

If Meghan, well…..

hmm

Yes. It was Meghan.

‘’Nuff said. Pleased she is upholding the dignity of the monarchy (not).

MissAdventure Fri 19-Nov-21 07:06:27

So undignified!

I’m surprised that she appeared on Ellen’s show. It has been plagued with controversy, primarily about bullying among staff. (Which was ironic because Ellen was always banging on about ‘kindness’) Didn’t Ellen have to apologise publicly?
The program is going to be axed after this series.

How very odd.

Urmstongran Fri 19-Nov-21 07:18:40

Not interested. Bet she’s in the ‘Jungle’ programme next! It sounds light hearted fun but not for me. Nothing to do with it being Meghan. That said, I believe both ladies have been accused of bullying staff. Not nice. Not so cuddly at all.

She is probably hoping the Daily Mail will make fun of her for it, so that she can say everybody in Britain, especially the press, hate her, and that is why she and hubby are staying in the States.

I think a lot of people, who have had children and grandchildren estranged, will recognise her tactics to separate Prince Harry from his family.

I expect she needs to earn a living.

I would definitely switch on and watch Megan in the jungle doing Bushtucker trials. Two weeks without make up, hair dye etc. cleaning the dunny, opening her heart. Yes I would watch, never do it myself of course, like my home comforts too much and I never watch Ant and Dec anymore, was a big fan once.

Urmstongran Fri 19-Nov-21 07:27:45

Two bullies together. Allegedly.
Although Ellen at least publicly apologised.

Never liked Ellen Degenerate. Perfect guest for her, Meghan.

That’s a horrible name to call her nanna8, whether you like her or not (I’m not keen either, but I loved her 90s sitcom)
It was first used by US homophobes who objected to her being open about her sexuality

Having just read the account of this, on what possible level did she think this was a good idea?

MissAdventure Fri 19-Nov-21 07:42:56

Why is it a bad idea?
Has it harmed anyone?
Caused distress?

Urmstongran Fri 19-Nov-21 07:46:53

She is trying so hard to get people like her, which is totally ironic because the one thing she could do to ease the dislike that the public has for her would bet to drop off into obscurity. As a flaming narcissist, she is completely unaware.

FannyCornforth Fri 19-Nov-21 07:47:37

Which book is she promoting?

FannyCornforth Fri 19-Nov-21 07:48:12

Or is she just in the show ‘for fun’?

tickingbird Fri 19-Nov-21 07:48:35

Just seen part of it on the news and found it toe curlingly embarrassing. Maybe the Americans like this type of thing.

MissAdventure Fri 19-Nov-21 08:09:16

It's quite common in uk programmes, too.

Josianne Fri 19-Nov-21 08:17:03

It isn't the programme itself most posters are taking issue with, (plenty of them around), it's the person herself doing it.

MissAdventure Fri 19-Nov-21 08:18:18

Why?
