Chrissy Teigen spoke out in defense of Meghan Markle, who, just days before her and Prince Harry's "tell-all" interview with Oprah Winfrey airs, was accused of bullying palace staff members when she was a working member of the royal family.
In a tweet on Friday, Teigen wrote: "this meghan markle s--- is hitting too close to home for me. these people won't stop until she miscarries. f------- stop it."
The model and "Cravings" author, who has been open about her pregnancy loss, came to Markle's defense after the duchess chose to write about her miscarriage for an op-ed in The New York Times published in November 2020.
In Markle's article, she detailed the July 2020 day that she lost her unborn child.
On Tuesday night, The Times of London published a story citing senior palace staff members that told reporter Valentine Low they were bulled by Markle.
The Times reports that "staff would on occasion be reduced to tears," and that "one aide, anticipating a confrontation with Meghan, told a colleague: 'I can't stop shaking.'"
"It's no coincidence that distorted several-year-old accusations aimed at undermining The Duchess are being briefed to the British media shortly before she and The Duke are due to speak openly and honestly about their experience of recent years," the spokesperson continued.
Buckingham Palace then announced in a statement on Wednesday that it's investigating the allegations that Markle bullied members of the royal staff.
