YouTube star blasts Harry and Meghan’s ‘terrible work ethic’

YouTube star Shallon Lester has had gunfights against Megan Markle and Prince Harry, claiming the royal couple “insulted” her in their self-titled Netflix series last year.

In December, Lester called Harry & Megan’s Netflix show “a festival of bulls**t” after an episode suggested she was part of a coordinated trolling campaign against the royal couple.

The outspoken influencer has now called in the lawyers and vows to ‘nail’ the allegations.

“Believe me when I say I take every opportunity to nail their a** to the wall for this,” she ranted.

“It’s libel, it’s slander, it’s mischaracterization. And do you know what else it is? Wrong information,” she added.

Shallon went on to ridicule the royals for losing their $20 million Spotify deal, accusing Markle of having “a terrible work ethic.”

“The Duchess of reality TV show, the briefcase girl, whatever she thinks she’s supposed to be, has dropped her $20 million, 12-episode podcast deal with Spotify,” Lester said.

And it seems that now that Spotify has cut ties with her, everyone is coming out of the woodwork to denounce this couple’s terrible work ethic. [their] legitimate, bizarre, self-aggrandizing attitude and general improbability.

“You have a Spotify exec they call f***ing grifters. That’s a direct quote,” she said, referring to Bill Simmons’ recent comments about Markle.

And even the UTA, the United Talent Agency, a huge talent agency in Hollywood, the head of that saying, “I don’t think they’re that talented.”

“The word talent is literally in the title of the company he runs and he says, ‘No, they don’t have it,'” Shallon laughed.

The social media star also mocked Meghan and Harry over a recent report that alleged Netflix hit back at several of their show pitches.

The WSJ said the pair had suggested shows that were too similar to already popular Netflix shows, such as sitcoms like Emily in Paris but “about a man,” and a show about LGBTQ characters similar to the one in Heartstopper.

“Have you heard of some of the horse ideas they’ve pitched?” said Shalon.

“Emily in Paris, just a guy. Emily in Paris? Emmett in Paris? Nobody needs that show,” she remarked.

Shallon has been at odds with the couple since last year after their Netflix series Harry & Megan included footage from one of her videos in a segment about the pair falling victim to a trolling conspiracy.

The segment, which aired on episode five of Harry & Meghan, featured Algorithms of Oppression author Safiya Noble and Bot Sentinel CEO Christopher Bouzy claiming there was a “coordinated” online campaign to spread “hate propaganda” against the Sussexes.

Bot Sentinel analyzed thousands of negative tweets about Harry and Meghan and found that a large number of the tweets came from a small group of people, including Meghan’s estranged half-sister Samantha Markle.

“They were actively recruiting people. Telling people how to create multiple accounts. It’s insane. And it was done by people who just weren’t the typical ‘trolls,'” Bouzy said in the series.

“These are housewives, these are middle-aged white women who are constantly creating attacks from “go back to America” ​​to basically “why don’t you die.”

During the segment, a compilation of several YouTubers criticizing Markle was played, including Lester and Sky News Australia contributor Daisy Cousens.

Lester responded to the outrageous claims, telling Daily Mail Australia at the time that it was all “pathetic fiction.”

“Never have I created a piece of content from an account other than my own, or encouraged anyone to create content aimed at them. If I did, where? YouTube? Let me see. How did I influence millions to harass Meghan and Harry and no one can find a shred of evidence?” she said in December.

“As usual, nothing these two say is true. Every “report” in this documentary is pure pathetic fiction, not even smart enough for a Suits rerun.

“Showing an excerpt from my video in this segment is clearly intended to designate me as one of these 83 clandestine operators, when the reality is much more mundane: Meghan and Harry are just very unlikely and no one needs to be part of a conspiracy to see that.

“They just suck, and everyone can see it. Meghan can play the race card all she wants – many black people are over her schtick too. Her idea of ​​solving racism takes it all for herself. Some people are really struggling.’

Shallon, who says Netflix never contacted her for comment or even informed her that she would be featured in the docuseries, said she was considering legal action.

“It is defamatory, defamatory and I am discussing legal action with my team against Meghan and Harry, and Christopher Bouzy, CEO of Bot Sentinel, for his baseless statements being presented as facts,” she said.

“I challenge anyone involved in this documentary to prove these claims made by a shadow network.

“The mere fact that they assume there is some global conspiracy against them is exactly why everyone despises them so much.

They’re paranoid and self-aggrandizing, and can’t fathom the idea that their bland, justified victim stories make them grating, creepy bastards. Simple as that.’

Bouzy claims in Netflix’s Harry & Meghan that his company examined 114,000 tweets, which he says came from 82 accounts reaching 17 million people.

Referring to the Bot Sentinel report, a 2021 Twitter spokesperson told HuffPost in a statement, “Of the more than 50 accounts referenced in the report, our teams have taken action against four accounts for violations of our platform manipulation and spam policy, meaning that many of these accounts are in fact managed by unique individuals.

“At this time, there is no evidence of widespread coordination, the use of multiple accounts by single people, or other platform manipulation tactics.”

They also suggested that the term “bot” is often misused, including to refer to accounts that people disagree with.

Daily Mail Australia reached out to Netflix and Bot Sentinel for comment at the time.
