Meghan Markle faces brutal criticism online for promoting her lifestyle brand, As Ever, as media scrutiny over her dad only intensifies. Philippine authorities are reportedly investigating allegations that her father possessed CSAM. Although Thomas Markle Sr. has denied the accusations, the controversy has once again brought his strained relationship with his daughter into the spotlight. Amid this, the Duchess‘ continuation to promote the As Ever products has been sparking backlash.
Royal fans call out Meghan Markle over latest As Ever product promotion
Meghan Markle comes under fire over latest As Ever promotions as controversy surrounding her dad, Thomas Markle Sr., continues to draw public attention. As Ever’s Instagram handle shared a new holiday campaign promoting its signature Apple Butter. The brand rolled out a two-photo carousel with the caption: “Tomorrow, a Fall favorite returns.”
Despite her dad’s latest controversy, the Duchess of Sussex is continuing to promote her own lifestyle brand. The post also comes just four days after Meghan issued a statement showing solidarity for the victims. Meghan previously said she had been informed of disturbing allegations concerning her father years earlier and that her decision to keep him away from her children was intended to protect them.
Although the Suits star disabled comments on As Ever’s Instagram, the internet was quick to criticize her. One user commented on Reddit, “It’s a bad look that is linking the product in people’s minds with her lackluster reaction to the horrific allegations.” A second user echoed their comments and replied, “Absolutely! Now is the time to be quiet. Her acting like nothing is going on – apple sauce, master chef, etc. – really hits the wrong note.”
A third user pointed out: “It’s insane how much new inventory she’s churned out recently, must be desperate.” A fourth user took a dig at the latest product, writing, “Thank goodness we can still get Apple butter whilst her dad is under investigation!”
