March 22, 2025 by Maria Pierides
There are many people in the public eye who make no secret of their dislike of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Piers Morgan is one of them, and it seems like Justine Bateman is also on the list too!
The 59-year-old Family Ties actress previously slammed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for using the L.A. fires as a “photo op” when they volunteered at the Pasadena Convention Center back in January. And now she has taken issue with the former Suits actress’s new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan…
Justine Bateman Slams Prince Harry And Meghan Markle's 'Very Aggressive Victim Olympics Campaign'
The Satisfaction actress shared her opinions on 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." And she did not hold back!
"The problem with Meghan Markle (and her husband, Harry) is that every opportunity they have explored or exploited over the past few years has been due to their very aggressive Victim Olympics campaign," she wrote in her candid blog post.
"The difference between doing that two years ago and doing it now is immense. It's 2025, and no one wants to see victims anymore," Bateman continued, adding: "No one wants to watch someone playact at something they didn't earn."
Harry And Meghan Slammed As Hypocritical For Their Professional Projects Despite Previous Privacy Concerns
One of the things the In the Eyes of a Stranger actress seemingly took issue with was Prince Harry and Meghan's previous messages about wanting privacy, as she believes the couple are very hypocritical given their current projects.
Although the As Ever founder didn't film her Netflix series in the home she shares with Prince Harry in Montecito, California (they actually filmed next door!) Bateman still believes that inviting the cameras so close to your home is not something someone would do if they wanted the media to respect their privacy.
"The public doesn't want to listen to people who bemoaned their lack of privacy, and yet take every opportunity to be extremely public with whatever they're doing," Bateman said.
The Another Woman star added: "They are two people riding the fumes of a past Victim Era, in a new era now where victimhood has fallen far out of favor."
