Is Meghan Markle similar to Will Smith? The two have stirred up their share of controversies in recent times. Host and news reporter Megyn Kelly seems to think so.

Both Will and Meghan are well-known Hollywood celebrities, with the latter reliving her life as a Royal living a commoner’s life in the USA.

The two have some commonalities between them. Both have been hitting the news for not-so-good reasons recently. The other similarity is, both belong to the elite part of society. Kelly talks about Will’s slap gate incident during an episode, drawing a comparison with Meghan.

She then mentioned Meghan Markle, stating “I put him (Will Smith) in the same boat as I put Meghan Markle.” Kelly was comparing Will Smith getting offended to the Duchess of Sussex’s ‘whining and crying’ that happened since entering the Royal family.

The I Am Legend actor has been a source of both criticism and meme content since he slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars. While the question of Jada Smith’s involvement is still unsolved, what angered most people was Will laughing at the joke, until he suddenly walked up to the stage and slapping the host cracking a joke on Jada’s hair. The other things that put him in a bad light were his dancing at the Oscars after-party, and later, his YouTube apology that was not so well received.

Do you agree with Kelly’s point about celebrities living in a bubble? Let us know in the comments.
