Wootton's suspension came in the wake of a segment on his show where Laurence Fox, also suspended, made derogatory remarks directed at journalist Ava Evans.
Misan Harriman, who shares a friendship with Meghan Markle, has now responded to this startling development, raising questions about why action wasn't taken sooner when derogatory comments were aimed at the Duchess.
Meghan's friend strongly criticized the TV presenter for his "torrent of abuse" directed at the former Suits star. He took to social media, specifically X (formerly known as Twitter), to voice his concerns, stating, "He is now suspended, but tell me, how could this torrent of abuse go unchecked for over a year against Meghan?"
He continued, highlighting the indifference shown when Wootton consistently employed a negative rhetoric against Meghan, saying, "Loose Women star Denise Welch also commented on the indifference that was shown when Wootton was consistently aiming negative rhetoric at Meghan."
Wootton has been vocal about his disapproval of the Sussexes and has reportedly dedicated segments of his evening show to criticize their various endeavors. Although the TV presenter issued an apology for the recent events on his show and the statements made about Ms. Evans, there remains a perception among viewers that he had not done enough to intervene, with some interpreting his demeanor as 'smirking' during the offensive commentary.
