EP 28. Dear Meghan Markle, We're Sorry And Should Be Ashamed Of Ourselves

Harry and Meghan sat down for an interview with Oprah this evening. Nothing was off the table, and boy, as a collective society, we should be ashamed of ourselves. For a majority of Meghan's solo sit-down with Oprah, the hurtful and lying tabloids were discussed. I myself, worked at one of the prominent publications for many years, only finding the courage to leave six-months-ago. While I myself have always believed Meghan and not the tabloids and online trolls, the extent to which this poor woman has been bullied is devastating. Meghan is and has always been an advocate for women, yet she was silenced by the firm. Even when she found the courage to speak up and admit to having had suicidal thoughts and ask for help, she was denied. Can you even imagine being denied help when you're in such a mental state? She TRUSTED them to protect her but was rather thrown out to the dogs. A major takeaway from this interview was about trust. You CAN'T trust anyone to protect or stand up for you. YOU have to do that yourself.  This is my first solo chat for the season and it was something that I just felt as though I needed to discuss. It's raw, it's honest, there are tears, and it's purely me just speaking from the heart.  *Note: This chat does discuss mental health issues and suicide.
