Leah McSweeney, an American fashion designer, has criticized Andy Cohen, a television personality, for spreading conspiracy theories about Kate Middleton‘s recent absence from public appearances. This criticism comes after the Princess of Wales revealed she is battling cancer.
McSweeney Calls Out Cohen’s “Cruel” Behavior
On March 22nd, 2024, McSweeney took to her Instagram stories to express her disapproval of Cohen’s actions. The 41-year-old designer called him “cruel to women” and stated her hope that “after she was forced to publicly talk about her cancer diagnosis he will muster up the decency to apologize to her.”
McSweeney’s criticism extends beyond social media. She is currently suing Cohen for discrimination and retaliation, though the details of the lawsuit are not mentioned in the report.
Social Media Frenzy and Middleton’s Absence
The controversy surrounding Kate Middleton began on Mother’s Day in the UK when a photo of her with her children appeared to be edited. This sparked speculation and rumors about the Princess’s well-being.
McSweeney Advocates for Middleton’s Privacy
McSweeney has been a vocal advocate for Middleton’s privacy throughout this ordeal. She posted a picture of the Princess on her Instagram with the caption, “Please leave this woman alone everybody.” She further emphasized Middleton’s humanity, stating, “Yes she is a princess but she’s also a human being. Have we not learned anything by now? Has social media destroyed empathy?”
McSweeney Criticizes Public Behavior
McSweeney expressed her disappointment at the jokes and gossip surrounding Middleton’s health situation. “The amount of jokes, and gossip about someone who is dealing with a medical situation and wants privacy Regardless of their nature of celebrity is so disheartening,” she wrote. She concluded her message with well wishes for Middleton’s recovery, stating, “I hope she gets well soon.”
Blake Lively’s Involvement
Actress Blake Lively initially contributed to the online frenzy. After the edited photo of Kate Middleton surfaced, Lively posted a humorous picture of herself seemingly edited by the pool to promote her products. However, upon learning of Middleton’s cancer diagnosis, Lively apologized for her earlier post, calling it “mortified.” She acknowledged the seriousness of the situation and removed the original post.
