Reacting To Meghan's WORST Speech
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- This speech that Meghan Markle "gives" to the UN is really one of the worst performances I have seen. There is a good bit of bragging mixed with being cliche and boring. There are some interesting patterns here - let me know what you all think.
She talks so slowly as if she is delivering profound pearls of wisdom.
To a bunch of two year olds.
👌🏼like the way you put it,,
Yet, she is so completely vacuous. It’s fascinating. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a profoundly idiotic person have such an exaggerated opinion of their own intelligence. She is totally out of touch with reality.
Preaching her achievement of "liquid dishwashing" to men. Thats how she championed gender equality & human rights lol.
No pearls of wisdom here…Australian
I blame the people who constantly give her these opportunities to speak!! Please ,no more!!
Jeez, I say NO, let her continue to speak, because everytime that she does she messes up, everytime she opens her mouth she lies, she gets laughed at more, & more, & more, she is the best comedy ever, but because of her ego, & narcissism, she is the only one who can,t see it.
The World is laughing at her, & long may it continue, everyone knows that she lies about everything, & she is stupid to think that anyone beleives her, let the comedy continue.
She pays big money to be at these events as if she d be invited her crap makes us wanna 🤮 🤮 it's called pay to play they never invite her 😂
I'm fairly sure that she has to pay organizations to speak. At least now she probably does cuz it's all about the money & people have to know that she'll pay for it by now. If she'll pay for awards, she'll definitely pay to speak. She LOVES attention.
She always starts off with some ramblings about herself. Well Megan here is one for you. It is not about washing dishes either. It involves women and small girls worldwide. Their horrific pain and lifelong suffering! Ready Megan? It's called Female Genital Mutilation, something which your very dear friend Oprah knows all about. You class yourself as powerful and describe yourself as an activist and feminist, so get the 'bit' between your teeth, and start. Try to be recognised for something useful for a change. You can start with Nigeria where you say your ancestors come from.
@@ShakeDownStreet0714 Jeez, Yes, she is addicted to it.
This soap commercial 🧼 was shown to her whole class/grade who were given an assignment to review it and write a letter to the makers about it. She did not randomly see this ad on TV, have feminine outrage and demand to write to the company. She is complete and utter liar.
Meghan always embellishes and re-writes her history. Harry does the same thing.
She could have easily told the 🧼 story truthfully and said something like “It was a group project that I got to be a part of at an early age, and that lit my passion for women’s rights while some kids did not seem to care at that young age”. But of course she had to lie and emphasise only herself.
Simply nauseating.
I would have walked out…
You can easily fact check all of Pretzel Legs lies because every word is deceitful. She also lied about studying French for seven years but could'nt even say Fromage when challenged. To claim that she was the sole carer for her Grandma has been loudly denied by her own family. She absorbs other peoples talents and passes them off as her own. Harold is the same. He's been "Helped" to pass every exam and military test because is he is so thick.
So embarrassing, . she is not good at speaking. It all sounds so phony.
Could she speak any slower with more pauses?
SHE'S SO WEIRD
Does she have speech writers? They probably could form a better deliverable for her... making her more likeable. Then again, I don't think she listens to anyone or their suggestions...
Please no more. Please
Maybe you haven’t seen the One Young World (something like that) speech. “How did I get here?” “I kept my little name card!” “I me I me I me MINE!”
Mother of God
Are there no other stories of useful things Megan has done? We all know about Megan and washing up liquid….. kind of thing quite a lot of people do and get things done but their stories aren’t thrust down m
I am not sure how you can be a feminist if you have spent your life looking for a rich man to make you who you want to be.
You can’t.
And probably still looking!
😂😂😂😂
Maybe she meant using her femininity?
Feminists are usually lesbian anyway!
She's so starry eyed when talking about herself!
😂 I noticed that to
You nailed it. The level of embarrassment I feel watching her tell that idiotic story at a UN event.
YES! She is, isn’t she? Absolutely BEAMS!
“Starry Eyed” perfectly put! She is indeed!
But of course! If Meggsy were chocolate she'd devour herself in 3 seconds!
We need to give her credit for having achieved the rank of most grandiose narcissist ever.
So true!
I think that the one award she genuinely does deserve is one celebrating her achievements in psychology awareness and wider public recognition of narcissist ic behaviour, how to recognise it and how to deal with it. The British royal family is providing a superb real-time demonstration of how to grey-rock a malignant narcissist.
That's why she's so fascinating to watch! I mean, what is this woman doing!?!?!?!
Ridiculous😂😅🤣🙃
Good one I might steal it. lol
I’m sick and tired listening her garbage story being repeatedly telling🤮🤮🤮
Absolutely agree. Thanks.
🤮🤮🤮
Havn't we heard that story about a million times 😅😅
She's a terrible actress even talking in first person.
When I was just BEAT and look up to try and remember…. Bad acting 101
When she wants to be herself, she comes across as artificial and fake. When she's acting, you can see too many traces of her self.
She wouldn't be a household name except for her marriage to an English Prine, that''s the type of feminist she is....Good grief!
You can't call yourself a feminist when you've used men to get up every rung of the ladder, MEgain!!
Came here to say this…. You can’t marry into royalty and claim to be a feminist. She opened her legs for a man, that’s her main accomplishment, bagging a duke that no woman in the uk would touch.
Her only influence comes from the British royal family.
Exactly! She's used every man in her life as a rung on the ladder of success, and now she trades on who she's married to and her "title"!
They don’t call her mattress methane for no reason!! 😂 old lilo lil seems appropriate for that horrible waste of oxygen!! 🤮🐍💩
Thank you. I abhor people who bathe in another’s glory.
She is literally full of shite
Not the effin dish washing story again 🤮🤮🤮
It's her trademark. Everytime somebody hears her name, that fake dish washing soap story should pop up in their minds.
I know so pathetic and BORING
That’s all she’s got it seems. Pathetic!!!!
Nah, she was definitely prepared. She probably practiced this stupid speech in front of the mirror for years in advance.
....like Adolf.....
Everything that comes out of markles mouth sounds rehearsed. Her voice is like nails down a chalkboard. Americans don't even use markles word salad vocabulary when they speak.that is the reason her speeches sound so fake is because they are fake.she in not authentic. Also if a person has to constantly tell you about their humanitarian efforts then they are not genuine humanitarians just an attention seeker and fraud. A real humanitarian doesn't brag about their humanitarian efforts or their good deeds. They do what they do from the goodness of their heart and in silence they don't need to brag & boast about their good deeds. They also dont exploit the less fortunate souls by doing photo opps to show the world how great they are or to tell the world look at me I'm a celebrity who helps the less fortunate souls that makes me a good person please give me the adoration and attention that i crave for my humanitarian efforts. Celebrities who have to show and tell their humanitarian deeds do it for their own selfish egos and use it as another way to pat each other on the backs for their own gratification and, to build up their portfolios to increase their fame,wealth and as a networking opportunity to meet and interact with the rich and powerful. Charities are one of the biggest scams of the 20th and 21st centuries. The ceo's get to pocket the bulk of the charity donations, while spending 10% of charity donations for the actual cause while they exploit the souls of those suffering in poverty and Celebrities use the opportunity to take photos with the most vulnerable for a pr stunt, to make headlines or as a career boost to their diminishing careers. The real heros are the volunteers who work endlessly behind the seasons and away from the spotlight and lens of cameras and who actually do all the hard work to get the aide to the poor and suffering .
I have ADD. My brain would've traveled to another universe within 2 minutes of sitting there listening to her brag-fest.
Her delivery is like her bad acting. She’s not speaking, she’s bad acting.
So painful to watch. Desperate for acceptance and applause.
I've heard Meghan repeately reference her " 11 year old self" over the past couple of years and i'm starting to believe that's the age that she stopped mentally maturing
And TO at 12, perfect pair
Probably 5
No wonder Hawwy gets on with her!
Don't you remember when she gave that speech at her wedding about "a boy and a girl" meaning Harry and her? I think she stopped growing at 11.
That makes Harry more mature than her. His emotional development stopped at 12.
she is so boring
She’s really in awe of herself isn’t she
😂 yes, she is indeed
MEEEE MEEEE
She needs to get off the high horse!
She’s so full of herself .
If she advocates she sure isn’t advocating for her family for unity far from it! She has only cost deviation
A legend in her own mind. 🤦🏻♀️🥴
Her father has said they didn’t receive a answer from the dish soap company and also the letter they sent was a class project!
Meghan copies Eleanor Roosevelt's peace speech in this UN speech she said "It isn't enough to talk about equality one must believe in it.Eleanor Roosevelt said "it isn't enough to talk about peace one must believe in it".
she tends to plagiarize a lot
Eleanor Roosevelt is the person MM often quoted. In her final class yearbook she even used a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt under her class photo. It's astounding that she quoted such a famous lady so often without ever giving credit for the quote and yet no one seemed to call her out on it. She got away with it so many times that I think she got lulled into a false sense of security and thought she could go on doing it..
A yes the plagiarised speech. Apparently her Daddy didn’t tell her she was the only one regarding Proctor & Gamble. Yep girls school which figures because they do produce this type of individual.
I just hate people who think they look smart because the use difficult words but say absolute noting that makes sense. Does she think we are al stupid? She is acts like a spoild small child.
The fact she still to this day believe her letter got to the queen of the universe is beyond me.. i mean it's obvious her dad wrote fake letters from all the most important wormen in america to make her happy
so deluded
It takes companies months or even years to mount advertising campaigns. Not a few weeks. Her father really did a great job of spoiling her and telling her yes when he shouldn't have.
I know- she's like a dog with a bone about that story!
Gosh she is swarmy and so ingenuous.
Her father has admitted to writing the letters 🙄
Apparently her father answered her letters and pretended they were from proctor and gamble etc. none of them actually wrote back to her.
When I was me I thought of myself, and I had a dream of me being myself and I thought that I will change the world as I thought it ought to be akin to me. I would like to make a toast, "Here is to me and my husbands wife not forgetting myself"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Brilliant 🤣
Pretty much in a nutshell
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's pure gold my friend🎉
There is nothing “ feminist” about this woman, but she even fooled Gloria Steinem! She is behaving as though she’s there accepting an award. Her narcissism throws a lot of people off, they know something is not right about her and her presentation but she seems “nice” and they probably think there’s something wrong with themselves for not liking her.
Gloria Steinem award was one of those awards she purchased, Gloria is not her friend, just a friend of her $$$$$
.
This is what Narcissists DO
You're 💯 right - she's referring to the applause that "wasn't enough". She definitely expected a huge roar of applause.
Cringe
Comment cet homme idiot peut il passer son temps à dire du mal d’une femme ?
Honte à toi venin haineux
Maybe there weren't enough people in the audience attending that event.
Exactly! She wanted “More” from the audience. OMG help me, I can’t stand her.
@AnitaAnneLloyd She's just hideous isn't she?
Meghan tells this debunked soap commercial story often 😂.
Hawwy believed it
And most likely the audience knows it too
@@mademsoisellerhapsodyhe probably still believes in Santa Clause and the Easter bumny
Along with the *old wonky car* (story) she had to use for auditions........
That’s her only claim to fame. Well one that daddy helped her with apparently.
If you had not pointed it out, I would never had known there was a joke inserted in her UN speech. Her whole speech was a big joke too by the way.
She's so fake. So fake
you are soo right … all of her speeches are the same .. ambiguous and can be put to any association or company or business model .. no substance of solutions in moving forward .. she is master of taking someone’s idea and making it her own .. you are spot on
The same drag and drop formula she has used all of her life. Unfortunately, she's on a world stage now so we can all see it 🙄
Yes , only one speech format!! So boring and fake , gosh!! Ridiculous
It was a class project but she takes the honour of it. 😅😅
Ridiculous.
Her two interview topics are.. writing to
Procter and Gamble, and calligraphy.
Most 12 year olds did something similar but have moved on.
Her father said he made up the hillary Clinton response letter to make markle feel special. The dish soap commercial was already going to be changed . It was a class project at the red school house. Nickelodeon did a news story about their class project and markle got picked for the interview because of her fathers hollywood connections.
Note she doesn't say that she is honoured to be "A UN women's advocate for ...." - there were more than one person in that role - but, instead, she says "UN women's advocate....", making it appear that she was the only person who held such a role, and therefore much more important than she actually was. Also, I totally agree that her statement about what two little boys in her class said is a lie, and how ludicrous it was to use such an opportunity to talk about dishwashing liquid. How many situations existed in the world at that time where women were terribly oppressed and abused, which she could have drawn attention to? But instead, she talks about how SHE changed a television advertisement!! That just says it all about who she is. LOVE your commentary.
She does lots of little tells like that. Very sneaky!
Along with a great many other women, I got British Rail to change an advert ,where they were suggesting to students that it would be a marvellous idea to travel home by train so that their Mother could do their washing!
At no time do I feel entitled enough to suggest it was ME, who created the change
Yes. It's like telling us how she started out instead of what she does today? Some people have to wash in rivers their clothes hair bodies dishes they don't have running water. I don't see how this was relevant to the UN work. Seems like it's all staged and not sure what she actually ever did or even does today??? It's so confusing IMO
Yeah I honestly thought UN Women would be combatting things like women in different parts of the world who aren’t allowed to get educated, or are being abused or something very serious. Im sure those women would love to only have to worry about a stupid dish soap ad.
Someone should use that dish soap in her mouth, cause everything that comes out of it, is a "DIRTY LIE" 😮
I would like to hear the same dishwash commercial account recalled by her then classmates. Also, what's with that plunging neckline in a culturally diversified serious event. This is not the golden globes woman.
Yes, very inappropriate
Thought the same, it’s not appropriate
I do feel bad for Thomas Markle, but he helped create her narcissistic tendencies. He never told her no. She’s a case study on how not to raise your child.
He raised her single-handedly, as a single parent, he's not to be blamed for all her narcissistic tendencies, because where was Meghan's mother during the crucial years of raising a daughter? And besides, Meghan is grown woman and is responsible for her own attitudes and actions. She's a big girl now.
The man is a mess as in his famous, gracious quote, “Well now it’s time to take care of DADDY!!” All responsible father’s frame photographs of their daughters mother having sex with women in the living room for the child to see & be frightened by.
The”big girl she is now” is a direct result of the care she didn’t receive as the little girl she was then. Not sure where you got the idea that the lack of quality of childhood just goes POOF! and away and has no bearing on the behavior of the adult. The poor childhood is absolutely everything that the the adult is and does. always has been, always will be since time immemorial. It must be quite a shock to you to know this.
Bronte866. The point is that by the time you get to be in your 40s, like Markle is, you have to take responsibility for your own actions. You can't blame your upbringing anymore.
@@detectivefiction3701you're quite right
Feminist? What a joke.
Yes, agree. She tries to bully women.
And a fucking misogynist 😒
She can't even walk without hanging on to H.
All she has achieved is Marrying a Prince ,she conned a Prince
Thats it ,thats all😂ffsk
She always does that..when I was a kid..and blah blah blah 😒
Watching her is cringey and I can barely sit through it…. But I like hearing you.
I’m pretty sure Megan’s dad responded to her letters and made her believe it was from H Clinton. Just like a parent pretending to be Santa responding to their child’s letter to Santa.
He has admitted to writing the letters
He did fake the letters - but also the reason she takes all the credit for this nonsense is because her dad contacted Linda Ellerbee, whom he knew, to interview her.
And where are these letters? If they were true, she would have published them in a book or something.
It's hard to fault a father (especially one raising his child as a single parent) for doing such a thing. Such things occur in many families, but the fact that she continued to relate the story, well into her adulthood and long after she no doubt knew what had actually happened, and to try to trade off it, is a measure of the seriousness of her pathological lying. Such stories usually relegate themselves to those that families tell around the dinner table at family events over the years and enjoy a good laugh over.
@@Susan-vl8ts I had no idea. Thank you for sharing this info with me. Makes sense.
And then she ruins her position there and later as a royal representative she throws a fit, refusing to be around them.
She screwed up her un women's advocate position?!? Wow! Just wow!
@@_Amanda_Lynn remember they wouldn’t give her what she wanted. I can’t remember what. But then she went to a place where all of these women from a village community had spent weeks making things and preparing to share their culture and gifts. She walked in to the tented area and saw women with the un shirts and turned to the aids and stormed out. Her handler was seen crying after. She had to tell all those women some reason the royal embarrassment spent 5 minutes and left.
'Recollections may vary.' Also self praise is no recommendation!
It is hard to watch!!
It was the whole class that wrote to Procter and gamble not just her as she says it's always her.
She should have worn her deal or no deal outfit.
😂😂😂😂
with a briefcase
Lolollol funny as thank you 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She IS wearing her deal or no deal outfit
She practically is
I hate the way she tells the story of the ad. ..." I had been in school watching a TV show" she never gives credit to the teacher that obviously set the assignment for the whole class and showed them the ads as part of her lesson. Its all about Meghan no other classmates. Also, as soon as she starts lying she develops these red blotches on her chest that get worse as she goes on
Yes the dreaded blotching is a physical reaction to her mouth working overtime
Even an insomniac would fall asleep listening to this!
She treats this event as if she's receiving an award. The broad smile from the moment she reaches the podium is the same reaction she'd give if she were getting an Oscar. I don't think she ever walks up to a podium looking focussed and serious, as if to say "We're here to deal with an important problem and we mean business!" It's always the 1000-watt smile, and an air of being wafted into the stratosphere by the love and admiration of the applauding crowd.
2 min in and if this lady talks about that damn soap commercial one more time I am quitting!
😂
In the TIG archives Meghan says Ban Ki Moon led a standing ovation for her after this speech. I have seen this speech several times on RUclips and only saw polite applause. No standing ovation, especially led by Ban Ki Mo on. Is this another varied recollection?
Well, no doubt it was in her pea brain
Yes it's like the story about the South African she claimed told her that when she married Hazbeen, they were "dancing in the streets like when Mandela was released. All bullshit. The only South African involved in that movie wasn't even at the premiere & never spoke to Meghan. Or the airline crew who told her he understood her sacrifice. This woman is deluded & needs to go away & shut up.
😮
If i hear this 11 year old B.S. story again im going to dislocate my own shoulder. I dont even think the reply she received was real...wasnt her dad the one that wrote it? Also.....she really just focuses on herself no matter what the event.
That story was based on a school project the whole class did. Her dad in the industry got the TV company involved and they filmed the class on this project
It was like on some kid's news program. It seems like her first taste of fame.
We ALL know this ffs
Yeah, she couldn't go home and tell her mum cos her mum wasn't around.
Ye Gads, she's 100% pure slime.
She is not a film actress, she is barely a tv and commercials actress
Good God , she never opens her mouth except to brag !!
You are right, she went to an all girls school, but watch the video about it, there were boys, and it was a CLASS project. She didnt call it out on her own. I believe her dad , back then , produced the project by recording it?
It's both hilarious and weird the way the Megh-lamaniac still dines out on this wildly inaccurate story. 🙄
It's the equivalent of me in my 40s still including the school play I was a tree in when I was aged 6, on my CV/resume 🙄😂🇬🇧
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
There is no way that 2 boys in her class said that!...she is a compulsive liar
Dear lord 😂😂😂😂 it almost looks like a clip from a comedy show .... but she does it for real and thinks she is good 😂😂😂😂
She’s unrecognizable from her childhood self.
She gonna save the world 😂 😂🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
The way she says, "unknowingly and accidently" It sounds like she is pretending to be Julia Roberts accepting an Oscar. She is so not authentic. With her rictus grin.
And, her big bragging session. How can you tell a narcissist is lying?
Anyway.
You hit the nail on the head.
Great analysis. Great observation.
Thankyou. Good work.
You're right about her not telling the story from memory of that moment. She's told this story so many times, it's automatic now. She may add bits here and there, but the story is always the same, she, by her 11 year old self, got the ad pulled from TV, and we should all thank her. The fact that her whole class participated, as did many across the country as well as adult women at the time may have more to do with that, will never enter her little brain. Her father got Nicklelodeon to come film in her classroom, and things have been spiralling out of control ever since.
Not to mention women's organizations, of which there were many. Maybe Gloria Steinem wrote to them!
Ugh. I'm pretty sure it was a class project and letter, not just from her. How can she blatantly lie so much? Plus, why is the story soooooo long? It's unbearable to watch and listen to her dull, 'aren't I just so impressive' presentation.
Whatever it is about her voice, my cat goes mental every time she hears the Meg.
😂😂😂
it's her cheese grater voice that drives the cat mad!
Your cat is brilliant. 👍🏼❤️
For me, the best part of this speech , although this clip doesn't go through till the end, is watching her chest break out in hives. Judge Judy always says....I know you're lying because I'm watching you break out in hives. Near the end of speech you can see her red blotches big time 🎉
Wow! Her very own lie detector. That is too funny for words.
It must be exhausting to be her.
I've never noticed this before but her chest gets slowly redder and redder as she goes on.
Because she's lying 🤥
😂😂😂 Probably a hot 🔥 flush
Thinking she will get found out with all the lies ME ME ME !I can't stand the woman 😡
It is for this reason that i boycotted P and G products. She can't be my spokesperson...she's so phoney!
I boycotted them years ago due to animal cruelty. Not that they are to blame for the Megain fafce.
You showed one interview when she says “I’m all dolled up for you “ to the guy hosting the show. Please feminist since 11 years old
Craig Ferguson late night appearance in which she wore half of a dress, the little feminist.
She is always fighting for something, forgetting the truth how lucky she was in her whole life, she was born in a free country, which is the most powerful and richest country on Earth, she was not abused, she was didn't live in war zone, she was not forced to wear a burka, she got education, chances in life, she got money, carreer ...while a lot of women on Eart are starwing, living in fear, etc she should be ashemed of herself!!!
LMAO...you are sooo funny. I feel the same cringe you do...but I keep watching...WHY? I think I keep watching to try and figure out what it is about her that just feels like finger nail on a chalk board. Eeekkkkk
This Ones Wife has no clue. And this story had been told again and again, in different forms.
Feminist my foot!
I am emancipated, no a feminist. I worked as a sparky on building sites over 16 years. Now my husband earns enough so I do not have to work anymore.
I love my kitchen 😂.
This ones wife. That is so funny 😂
@@pj101 Honour where honour is due: HG Tudor invented this name after she said she was married to This One.
I'll never understand this bragging about being a 'feminist'. I would think that means you support women. What's the big deal? I'm traditional - however, I support women every step of the way.
I can't listen this speech from her for the 100 time ✌️🌸💙
Ikr, I had to ff 5xs
markle cos plays... here she studied Angelina jolene famous speech..the pauses the stares the expressions.
I like your videos, but I have to say it...Eminem didn't abuse any women in his relationships. His mother was abused. Just a friendly correction...
Right. He just raps about raping and murdering them.
😂😂😂
Did he tell you that??
@Sandi-zh2wx Let me say that a different way. That was never reported in the media. I know people who know Kim. Maybe people think that because of the song he did with Rihanna- Love the way you lie.
Yawn! Such a boring, repetitive (fairy) story
You’re right.
She had no problem lying in front of the world and has the audacity to insult the intelligence of everyone who were aware of the Truth about this school project.
The good news is…
More and more people are calling her b.s.
Her father’s intention might be good but what we see now is someone who has narcissistic personality traits. According to mental health experts, narcissists have a deep sense of insecurity. That’s why they often have to use a public persona to cover up their feelings of insecurity. And we’ve seen her mask slip many times.
She obviously isn’t showing any remorse or regret for the trail of destruction she’s done since she came into the public spotlight. Not even sure if she’s self-aware or reflect about the role she’s playing in the destruction of her relationships with her family, in-laws, friends, ex-staff, and others.😢
It would be great if her elementary, high school, college classmates will come out and speak out.
Good point about the all girls school . Good call out
Plot twist: The two boys in her class she mentioned were ghosts who died in the 1950s when the school was an all boys school. Dhun! Dhun! Dhun!
Only Meghan saw them and the ghosts agreed with the soap commercial because that's what they witnessed in the 50s growing up, women in the 50s still like to do household chores like washing dishes.
LMAO 🤣😂
The words, phrases, facial expressions, pauses etc are identical to the ones she used at the One Young World summit. Plug her in, switch her on and off she goes.
Love your comments but I just can't take her voice, had to cut the sound and follow this on subtitles.
As somebody who occasionally does public speaking, I would be absolutely mortified if I ever gave a speech that sounded like hers.😯
😉😁😁🤣
The off shoulder number is too plunging. It looks like she is getting her senior yearbook picture. 😂
That's why her "speech" was so high school. 🤣
I know she is a narcissist/sociopath but I sometimes wonder if she could also be neurodivergent in some way..I am myself, and to me there are a few traits. She just so happens to be a terrible person at the same time.
So she says when she was 11, about 20 years ago it should’ve been over 30 years ago she’s in her 40s I can’t even watch this without laughing. It’s crazy the nerve that she has.
When I was 14 years old I was an awkward, shy girl in school told to do a presentation about "a famous person" and I decided to do it about a person I had do this was Nelson Mandela. It was perhaps a year earlier I read the book "Biko" (that the later Cry Freedom movie would be based on and had to read it for another class assignment), and for me the experience of having to do the presentation was even more awkward because I was a person bullied and there I had to stand in front of the class mates who would bully me.
Anyway, me doing this had an interesting "side effect" that came later, in the form of most of the kids stopping with the bullying, and a few befriending me. I had a standing ovation from the class after I had finished the presentation. Which in itself was unexpected, and led to a discussion in the class about "supporting the cause I had highlighted with my presentation." So in the next few days the effort was made to create a list of signatures to send to England, to 10 Downing Street so they'd be along with thousands of others. I can still remember the photo my mother found in one of the British broadsheet newspapers a few years later, in 1988, of the dozen or so stacks of paper that represented "a few years of signature collecting" as the caption had stated. Somewhere among them were the two or three dozen papers with the signatures of all school kids of my school, of the teachers, of many their family who also signed. I have not so good memories because of the bullying but I'm to this day grateful of how the kids decided, at least for a while until the bullying finally stopped, to be kind enough to participate in something I found so unexpected and profound.
I began caring about human rights and adherence to this cause when I was 10, after sitting several hours in an elderly neighbour's living room who lived at the bottom floor of where I lived in Amsterdam. She was a holocaust survivor, and seeing the tattoo the length of her left lower arm (from wrist to elbow in length) made me decide that I wanted to care about human rights. I've never stopped speaking about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, demonstrating with its Articles and Clauses where I see a wrongdoing in society. As a 14 year old the cause was the freedom from false or political imprisonment; these days it's the right of self-determination of a woman's autonomy over her own body and choice of fertility pursuit.
I've written to politicians, and will still do it now, without ever assuming I gain something personally from it other than being able to add it to my story of being a human rights observer and campaigner. Real heroes never ask for recognition I'd say; they earn such a right. That's something I learned from researching the story of Steve Biko and Nelson Mandela, as well as learning about other people in history (both past and current) people. I earned a right to tell about my involvement in getting Mr Mandela freed, which I celebrated as it happened in 1990, but I know I was like a drop in the ocean in my involvement in a greater story that only sees a conclusion once ALL human rights get adhered to by everyone. Until then every person who demands such adherence becomes another person to make the future better for the generations that come after us...
Side note: our Dutch school ALSO wrote to Proctor & Gamble...for similar reasons.
Another side note: I'm still awkward and shy about talking to crowds of people now... 🤣🤣🤣
You should have been up there giving that speech instead of that pretend activist 👏👏👏👏👏
I am so shocked that bullying is not rooted out in schools and dealt with. The school I attended would not tolerate the slightest whiff of bullying. If it could be done by our headmaster why not all?
ZERO self awareness omg
She has the weird dry mouth thing again. It makes it more annoying.
Look at her chest, it's turning bright red!
I read her dad said he answered all the letters- he was trying to help her. No one responded to her.
How could you accidentally and unwittingly write a letter and post it?
Yeah terrible speech to a UN event. I think she peaked at 11, her best achievement was a class letter to P&G, that's it. She cannot even claim it as all her own sadly. No wonder she keeps dragging this story out to tell, what else has she done?
