Chris Rock's jabs at Meghan Markle's racism claims are 'a real punch in the gut': expert
Fox News
Serveral royal experts explained why the Duchess of Sussex is likely hurt after Chris Rock took aim at her struggles in the Netflix special "Selective Outrage."
"Going on Oprah, ‘I didn’t know, I had no idea how racist they were,'" Rock began, referring to the 41-year-old’s 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey. "It's the royal family! You didn't Google these motherf-----? What the f--- is she talking about, she didn't know. It's the royal family! They're the original racists!" Stephanie Nolasco covers entertainment at Foxnews.com.
Christopher Andersen, author of "The King," told Fox News Digital it wasn’t shocking that Rock punched back at Will Smith following last year’s infamous slap at the Oscars. However, he suspected that Rock’s unexpected takedown of Markle would be "a complete and shocking surprise to her."
"I revealed in my [previous] book ‘Brothers and Wives’ that… innocent musings about what Harry and Meghan's children might look like led to unfair charges of racism within the royal family," Andersen explained.
