Meghan Markle Accused of Lifting Storyline from Animated Series ‘Big Mouth’
It appears that Meghan Markle may have borrowed the plot of her visit to a Korean spa from an episode of the animated series ‘Big Mouth.'
In the episode, a mother takes her young biracial daughter to a Korean spa, and the daughter is embarrassed to be n^ked in front of others.
This is just the latest in a string of lies that have been exposed about the Duchess.
During a recent episode of her show, Meghan spoke with journalist Lisa Ling and comedian Margaret Cho about the archetypes that limit and define Asian women.
When asked to describe themselves in three words, Meghan's guests used words like sponge-like and curious.
However, Meghan was struck by the word “weird” used by Lisa Ling's 9-year-old daughter, Jet Ling Song.

Markle took the opportunity to take a subtle swipe at the royal family, saying that people should be themselves and not let societal frameworks or archetypes dictate who they are.
She criticized Hollywood filmmakers for perpetuating the “dragon lady” stereotype of Asian women, citing movies like Austin Powers and Kill Bill.
However, Glasgow comedian Leo Kurs has criticized Markle's thinking, calling her an “insufferably woke, race-baiting, self-obsessed grifter.”
He pointed out that the films she criticized were meant to be satirical or homage to martial arts films of the 70s, and not meant to be taken as realistic portrayals of Asian women.
Kurs also accused Markle of using her media appearances to create a positive image of herself and drown out allegations of bullying palace staff.
Markle has always denied these allegations.
Despite the controversy, Markle's message of being true to oneself and not allowing stereotypes to define one's identity is an important one.
People should strive to be their whole, complete, layered selves, even if that means being weird or different from societal norms.
