Pink Defends Meghan Markle Amid ‘Out of Control’ Bullying: ‘Let’s All Be a Bit Kinder, Huh?’
No one stands up to bullies like Pink! The rock star, 39, took to Twitter on Monday, August 19, to defend Meghan Markle and Prince Harry after they were slammed for taking a private vacation in celebration of Meghan’s 38th birthday. A-listers like Elton John and Ellen DeGeneres had the royal’s back as well.
“I’m happy to see people coming to the defense of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The way people treat her is the most public form of bullying I have seen in a while. It’s out of control,” wrote the badass icon. “Let’s all be a bit kinder, huh? Let’s show our children that it’s cool to be kind,” she added. Pink has been very vocal on social media about the hate and slander that exists online. In retaliation, she does her best to challenge the norm and give a big middle finger to what she calls “the parent police.”
On Sunday, August 18, she challenged the internet to dial back on the trolling. “I’d like to propose a worldwide internet challenge to anyone reading this today. Go ONE day without criticizing someone online. Let’s call it the MISS ME WITH THE BULLS–T CHALLENGE. And if it feels good, hey, why not go TWO DAYS. But let’s start with one for the overzealous out there. #onedayatatime #onlylove,” the “What About Us” singer wrote.
The rocker has developed a reputation for serving the haters right back with a dose of attitude and sarcasm. She even started calling the haters out before they even have a chance to take aim. In a picture posted to Instagram of her daughter Willow, 8, playing in the sprinklers, she wrote, “Here’s a picture of my child running through water. It wasn’t even filtered. What a waste of water. And no helmet? I hope she had sunscreen. If she slips and falls she may be traumatized for life. And her mother wasn’t even there. I was … gasp … working!!!! In another country! 🤘🏽👎🖕.”
Can we all give a slow clap to this rock and roll mama?! We all need someone to stand up to haters like Pink. Meghan is so lucky to have her on her side.
