“It bums me out for every woman and every person, that for no reason people just like to attack,” Melissa told Page Six. “A smart, interesting woman that has her own life, for some reason, is incredibly threatening to some people.”
“I always think, how inspiring!” she added, emphasizing her admiration for people like Meghan. “I’ve never once been threatened by someone who is amazing. I just think how inspiring. It’s really on the people throwing the hate.”
Melissa also called Meghan “wonderful” and “awesome.”
Previously, Melissa praised both Meghan and her husband Prince Harry after filming the 40th birthday campaign video.
