Meghan Markle has gotten rich off ‘stupid people’: Jimmy Failla
‘Fox News Saturday Night’ host Jimmy Failla discusses Meghan Markle’s new lifestyle brand and more on ‘The Ingraham Angle.’
Meghan Markle was able to relate to young girls while sharing her own experiences with online bullying.
On Oct. 2, Markle visited the nonprofit Girls Inc. in Santa Barbara, California to shed some light on how bullying is affecting the younger generation – specifically the girls.
Larissa May, founder of #HalfTheStory, was also in attendance and spoke to Vanity Fair about Markle's comments during her visit with the teenage girls.

"We did an activity where we talked through a bunch of scenarios, and Meghan talked about being one of the most bullied people in the world," May told the outlet.
She continued, "We had girls wave these little emoji signs and talk about how each one of these scenarios would have impacted them emotionally."

Middle-school aged girls were able to test the program's initiative with the help of the Duchess of Sussex, May told Vanity Fair.
"We really wanted to make sure that the teens at #HalfTheStory were able to give their input on the type of experience that we would create," she said. "Ultimately, we thought the best way to do that was to create a space of vulnerability."

This is not the first time Markle has opened up about her experience with online bullying.

Markle continued at the time, "I really scraped the surface on my experience, but I do think that I would never want someone else to feel that way and I would never want someone else to be making those sort of plans and I would never want someone else to not be believed."
