Meghan Markle recently claimed to be “one of the most bullied people in the world,” says the founder of a teen advocacy group.
The alleged comment came during an October 2 event hosted by Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara.
Meghan’s appearance at the event was linked to the launch of Social Media U. The organization is described as a “digital wellness program” that will be partially funded by her Archewell Foundation.
According to Larissa May, founder of the advocacy group #HalfTheStory, at one point in the afternoon, Meghan opened up about being bullied.
“Meghan talked about being one of the most bullied people in the world,” May told Vanity Fair following the event.
May claimed that the controversial remark came as attendees were doing “an activity where we talked through a bunch of scenarios.”
“We had girls wave these little emoji signs and talk about how each one of these scenarios would have impacted them emotionally,” she explained.
“We talked about what it really means to grow up in this digital age.”
A Disputed Claim
Meghan has spent years being harshly criticized by the media and harassed by her own family.
However, sources close to the Duchess of Sussex deny that she claimed to be one of the heavily bullied people.
