Babes Against Bullshit: How Is This An Issue? – The Duchess Of Sussex’s Blog Post On Ivanka Trump Is Suddenly A Problem Due To Politics

Tig

Okay, an old blog post from Duchess Meghan’s former lifestyle brand, The Tig has suddenly surfaced and is being branded as ’embarrassing’. Who was it about you might ask? Well, it was about Ivanka Trump. Yes, the daughter of current US President Donald Trump. Actually, I wrote about this a while ago too, but not for the same reason. All I wanted to know was why their relationship soured.

While The Tig has been offline since 2017 due to Meghan choosing to commit fully to her relationship with now-second husband Prince Harry, many posts can still be read via the Wayback Machine.

Meghan’s interview with Ivanka was not entirely public, but some of it existed in the form of a TIG TALK post. All that is written is how much the former actress admired the then-businesswoman. Mind you, this was 2014 long before Donald entered the White House and screwed up America.

Ivanka and Meghan didn’t have the same amount as involvement in politics as they do now. However, the now-Duchess of Sussex has always had an interest in the subject. As a royal, she was not allowed to voice her views as the BRF are apolitical. It’s a long standing tradition that Markle could not get behind when she was a working member of the family.

Seriously Though, What Is The Issue With The TIG Talk Post?

Now, what could a blog post from six years ago do to spark trouble? Are the media looking for ways to push Meghan and Ivanka into the cancelled category? Both are controversial and don’t like being told ‘no’.

Ivanka is a blind follower of her father’s ideals. After all, she is the one in charge of ‘job growth’. Look at how well that’s turned out. Also, Meghan has made it clear she despises Donald. We cannot say we blame her. Though, it has left a foul taste in the First Daughter’s mouth.

Meanwhile, the Duchess of Woke has sparked controversy for having photos taken alongside husband Prince Harry of their ‘memorial’ at a Los Angeles War cemetery as a way of getting back at the British Royal Family for not allowing the Duke to have a wreath laid on his behalf.

The press is just looking for a way to make something that is not too much of a big deal into one just so they can get clicks and by extension, money.

Why Is The TIG TALK Post Being Deemed Offensive Now?

Isn’t it three years too late to be calling Meghan out for her ‘controversial’ Tig post? I don’t normally defend the Duchess but this is beyond ridiculous. It’s like bringing back up age old tweets like what happened with The Flash star, Hartley Sawyer who was fired from his role as Ralph Dibny due to resurfaced… umm…. opinions he had posted almost a decade ago.

With the Sawyer situation, it is clear he changed his views since he tweeted those awful things out. People were just looking for dirt and they got the guy fired and for what reason? Was it because they hated him and wanted to settle a score that wasn’t even there? Who knows! Were those messages right? Absolutely not! He admitted he did the wrong thing and accepted the consequences for it.

In regards to the Meghan/Ivanka sitch, the whole reason the so-called ‘issue’ is being bought up now is to get a rise out of Trump supporters who will back Donny Boy until the day he dies. The media can’t find anything better to write about so they make an innocent interview written years ago sound worse than it actually is.
