He wrote on Twitter: "Oh dear. I’ve rather put my foot in it. In a column I wrote about Meghan, I made a clumsy reference to a scene in Game of Thrones and this has gone down badly with a great many people. I’m horrified to have caused so much hurt and I shall be more careful in future."
Where does this weird obsession with tearing her down come from? Unlike Piers Morgan, who appears to despite Meghan for the mere fact she was unwilling to entertain a relationship with him (but more on that here), Clarkson has no obvious link to Markle. There was no sordid past relationship, no examples of them ever working together, it doesn’t appear that Clarkson has actually ever met Meghan at all. He, like much of the other people that despise her without ever knowing her, has no real basis for his hatred at all except from what he’s heard from the now well-documented manipulative tabloid media.
Considering his well-educated, successful self is more than capable of deducing how a misogynist tabloid media can infect the brains of the many to despise a woman who has not harmed anyone, one can only assume that he sees the value in hating Meghan publicly brings personal success. That is, if personal success means remaining relevant and going viral no matter the moral cost.
