Justine Bateman Criticizes Harry, Meghan's Victim Narrative

Justine Bateman has criticized Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for what she calls their 'Victim Olympics campaign' since leaving royal life. In a blog post titled 'The Problem With Meghan Markle: It’s Not What She’s Doing, It’s the Victim Olympics Road She Took to Get There,' Bateman argues that their recent ventures, including Markle's Netflix show 'With Love, Meghan,' have struggled due to public fatigue with their victim narrative. She contends that the public no longer wants to see individuals who appear to exploit their past grievances without earning their current success. Bateman has previously labeled the couple as 'ambulance chasers' after they visited wildfire victims in California, describing their actions as 'disaster tourists.' While she acknowledges their right to pursue media projects, she believes audiences are rejecting their narrative. Overall, Bateman suggests that society has moved on from the era of victimhood that they seem to be clinging to.
