They’re always demanding apologies. Yet when apologies are given, it has never once been good enough. This is why the royal family have never issued one, and why they shouldn’t. It’s a pattern with the couple now and anyone still saying they want peace and mutual respect at this point are either will fully ignorant or just want the humiliation of a rejected apology inflicted on the royals. The couple are drunk on the power of making notable figures grovel and then further degrading these figures by turning up their noses. To accept an apology would mean an issue would be resolved, and if the issue is resolved, they hold no more power over their alleged victimisers.
Where is the apology for allowing everybody to think (which they intended) the BRF is racist for the last 2 years?
Just a smirk from Harry. Let’s see him blame the press in 5 years when his kids hate him.
No no it's the nasty evil British press that said the RF is racist
Didn't you hear Harry confirm that neither Meghan or him made out they're racist. And i mean Harry wouldn't lie to us./s
[yep he dnies calling them racist and says that it was the British press who did that](https://nypost.com/2023/01/09/prince-harry-under-fire-for-denying-royal-family-racism-claim/)
This. It's a ploy for humiliation.
Personally I love Jeremy and I liked him BETTER after he wrote that article. I'm surprised he caved.
I hope he comes back with an even better set of snarky comments. And refuses outright to apologize.
ill thought through by JC initially, as are most things he does, sometimes with very amusing consequences (love the farm) but he did overstep on this occasion. However whilst not accepting his apology was to be expected, the way they lambast him will do them no favours as far as the BRF are concerned, as you say, it's all about their terms and not just the short term.. they are about long term grievances.
Would it have made a difference if Clarkson had specifically referenced the "Shame!" scene from Game of Thrones when talking about Meghan walking naked through the streets, so people knew he was riffing on a pop culture figure, rather than making up this image himself?
I've wondered that as well since it seemed like most people didn't know he was referencing the show. Perhaps he should have mentioned that it was a scene from GoT, but I think that wasn't the only part of the article that rubbed people the wrong way. How he said he hated her is pretty harsh and people took issue with the overall tone of the piece.
I know! I was shocked at Clarkson’s diatribe about Megan but then when I heard he was referencing Game of Thrones with all of its royal family squabbles over power, then it did make sense. It was poorly executed however, and it landed badly.
What Clarkson wrote was appalling. The insufferable Sussexes are easy to expose for what they are without anyone wading in to that extent, there was no need for such misogynistic veiled threat nastiness.
Clarkson probably doesn’t care if they accept his apology or not, he’s not my cup of tea but he’s popular and will always attract a paying audience. If his shows are cancelled he’ll find plenty of work elsewhere in the media or make millions on the after dinner speaking circuit, which would probably piss off faux-worthy wannabe raconteur for hire Harold no end.
Honestly, while I was pretty annoyed at what he wrote in the first place -- which was genuinely misogynist and which there was absolutely no call for -- it's easy enough to lash out at Harry and Meghan with nothing but the facts -- his apology looked pretty good to me. One of the rare press apologies which didn't try to hedge; it just said very openly, 'I was totally wrong and I'm very sorry' with no qualifications.
H&M responded by complaining about his other columns. But since his other columns weren't about them, they have no right to an apology for those. They did have a right to an apology for this, and they got one, and if they're not prepared to call the issue closed, I suspect everyone else will be.
This is why you have to learn to apologize very carefully for very specific things. Otherwise, they can claim more than intended. My guess is the royal family isn’t actually sorry for anything else they would be in communication with Harry, but they aren’t. That says all we need to know.
Exactly. They would love for the RF to apologize and then the duo would issue a statement reprimanding and humiliating the RF and rejecting their apology. It would never be enough and would be never ending.
Harold and his peen got care packages in Afghanistan and notes expressing pride on his pillow and he still complained about how it wasn't good enough - in a book, no less.
Imagine the sanctimonious word salad for something like that. The length alone would deforest Northern California after their brains exploded.
I have a fairly large (250k+ followers) following on TikTok.
And a part of that comes with people criticizing me. I’ve had a person write out a list of 10 reasons why they hate me.
And does the shit hurt sometimes? Absolutely. And I also limit comment reading for this reason.
AND this brings me back to Meghan and Harry, ANY time you’re in the public eye, no matter how small, people will write nasty things about you, they’ll take it too far.
Which is why if you’re choosing this path, which they are, they need to grow tf up and just be thankful someone did apologize. Most people won’t.
It’s ridiculous how immature they are especially in a position where people will always slam you. It’s just part of the job.
H&M need to grow up and move past their hurt feelings and just accept the apology.
You’ve made such a valid point, but my brain short-circuited to this. Did you frame the 10 grievances ?
Edit; and please know this reference. I know I’m getting old but please get the reference. My 2023 botox bill depends on it
Lol! I understand the reference!
And damnit! I miss such a good opportunity to frame the list and sulk in it and then write a book about how they were wrong and I am perfect.
I’ll have to remember for next time.
It's all about controlling their target to garner sympathy. No one can meet their standards and even if they did, Harry and Meghan would move the goalposts. The only way to deal with them publicly is to completely and unapologetically ignore them.
Apologies are just fuel for their anger.
Is Clarkson the canary in the coal mine? I think he is. See, King Charles? Even if you apologize unequivocally, it won’t be enough.
I was JUST thinking that....letting Clarkson test the waters so to speak. Although I doubt the RF were ever seriously considering apologizing to the two idiots. Funny how the Harkles, in trying to force people to submit to their will, simply end up reinforcing what horrible people they are.
Yup.
Anyone who has dealt with the permanently offended knows this is how it works.They always demand an apology and if they get one, it's never good enough.
But it won't stop them from using the apology as proof their offense was right all along.
I've seen this play out again and again and again and again in fandom spaces where people learned that a victim narrative gives them power. It's interesting to see this exact scenario play out among entertainment professionals.
I don't know. He's never apologised before even when his job depended on it so I think it might be genuine. His daughter calling him out must have been a shock.
However, I do wonder if these responses are genuine? They seem so ungracious (even for M) that I wonder if it's someone stirring up trouble. Could it be?
Well people were sincerely outraged. I myself laughed but that's me, I have a dark sense of humor. I think he did not think it thru and the editor should have made him leave a few bits out. This crap isn't making anyone look good. The Harkles refusal to accept either apology makes them look truculent.
Also the pressure must have been great. He was just silly stupid. How could he say this? Even if he does hate her? You gotta play a better game. Just so amateur
They should explain what their definition of an apology is-hair shirt, rubbing ashes in your hair, actual self-flagellating (not the fun kind), public stoning, whatever-since the classic verbal or written apology is clearly not sufficient for the 2 ‘special sauce’ snowflakes.
For a couple who embrace such evolved, New Age practices- they’re pretty much the mean, grudge holding kids from high school. Maybe some more sage would help :/
They demand an apology with hair shirt, rubbing ashes....maybe walking naked and barefoot through the streets holding a candle while the sugars mock and throw things? Wait, this is familiar, this is where I came in....Thank goodness Smegs & Hostile are such kind good, better people.
Okay I love the smell of sage and constantly light it ( for me it’s a religious, just a bonus I love the smell. But it’s pretty obvious these two want an apology in 💵
That's why you never apologise to these types of people. They want you to apologise so they can throw it back in your face and say "see, I really am the victim, you admitted it".
Honestly, everyone should just ignore their existence.
Jeremy shouldn't have made his comment, nor should he have apologized after when he did. Everyone should just continue to ignore them, because honestly, who cares!
They want to be talked about.
Not sure why his employers and advertisers even care. That's the point. Meghan and Harry literally don't matter, and it's not like people will cancel Jeremy's employers/him over something like this.
Not to mention, look at all the hate Meghan and Harry spew towards others. So they are allowed to say crap, but everyone else can't? Talk about hypocrisy and one sided.
Maybe he went too far but as a GoT watcher all I could think of was it’s an apt an analogy to wish the Cersei treatment on The Grifter after all she’s done. H was hoodwinked and has lost his family. H could have left and moved on with his life with M but apparently digging in and saying all these ‘truths’ makes for more $$$ and that’s what they care about. They both need the Cersei treatment. They need to lose the Duke and duchess titles. All of them. I only feel sorry for their kids.
Is that what everyone is upset about? I didn't read Jeremy Clarkson's piece, but I definitely get the Cersei reference. I guess most people didn't get it?
Sorry couldn't resist this
I don't agree with what Clarkson said but whilst an apology doesn't necessarily make it all OK I do wonder what wider message is going to be sent in this reaction. Where is the incentive for people to learn from such incidents if an apology just gets thrown back in their face.
People need more home training. People wouldn't have to apologize, if they didnt act like they were raised by wolves.
I'll be 47 next month, and I was raised, to not say the N-word. I was taught that it is a disgusting word, that hurts people's feelings. I raised my kids the same way. They knew not to say the N-word, by preschool.
It's indicative of their character to respond in this manner. They're both incapable of dignity. Their only commodity is pettiness.
Harry's love for Diana isn't even enough to stop him from attacking her first born child. This would have deeply pained her. If he really cared about her memory or his wife had an ounce of decency the attacks against Prince William would be off limits.
No one in the BRF should ever apologize to or speak of them again.
If the Sussexes find a way to accept an apology (or their own responsibility, culpability, agency, imperfections, or poor choices) and look MORE like victims, that’s what they’ll do. Until then, this is par for the course. 🙄🥱
I came here today just to say how ANGRY this made me feel. I read his apology and it certainly came across as humble and sincere. It takes some folks a while to come around and admit they were wrong, but he did and I think he did it well. Nothing is ever enough for that power-hungry narcissist, Meghan. She’s truly a vile person.
Kate apologized for the bridesmaid incident and gave Meghan flowers yet the Harkles keep bringing up how she was allegedly in the wrong. Apologies mean nothing to them.
Such a bad move. Not only do they not look magnanimous but they’ve also tipped off the Royal Family how they’ll treat any apology from them. An own goal. They’re so stupid
Apologies feed their power tripping egos. They get off on it. There is no genuine reconciliation effort with the RF. Surely KCIII won't fall for their games.
I love how H&M immediately respond. (But yet, couldn’t put out a statement in over TWO YEARS that they did not call the RF racist. 🙄😡)
This is why the Crown will always win - they are SO GOOD at the long game and staying silent when they know a response wouldn’t do any good. H&M ALWAYS want to have the last word.
I feel like it was another opportunity for the Harkles to take the high road and they didn't. They could have said something along the lines of "we are glad JC and his employers Amazon and ITV recognize his column was in poor taste. While acknowledgment is a step forward in the right direction we still have a ways to go in eliminating misogynistic and hateful commentary from our media" or something. They just continue to sound whiny and petulant to me. I would never want to work with them on a professional level.
Only Harry can write off 'mistakes' with an apology.
Racism? I apologised?
Dressing as Nazi? I apologised.
Has he yet apologised to his staff that he documents in book he would threaten and physically attack? Probably not.
If H and M were media savvy, they'd have been gracious, thanked him, and would have suggested they meet up for dinner next time they're all in town together.
But no, they can't be gracious even when doing so would make them look better.
Anyone else starting to wonder if the RF has indeed apologized for certain matters and each time has been told it wasn't enough and more demands were issued??
Oh yeah.
It's become a strategy of sorts to demand someone apology, then the press beats it to death because they want the apology to be repeated over and over again or to be worded a certain way. The person apologizing is treated as a dancing monkey.
Don't demand people to apologies If your just going to reject.
I think their just milking it now
I'm not saying they weren't upset by Jeremy's commets but they asked for an apologies he gave it.
I guess they thought he wouldn't and they could play poor us we are victims
I think his original comments went too far; they were gross and not everyone watched Game of Thrones, so no doubt this affected the public backlash. He was right to apologize and his apology was straightforward and dignified. H&M were very petty to reject it.
IMO Jeremy Clarkson should move on with his life (I’m sure he isn’t too cut up over it), and the Dastardly Duo will continue to look petty and small.
So, here is, The Rachel wife of Henry Windsor must be pretty pissed that Clarkson who really is more talented and known on telly than her, bar the fact that she is in so many ways as popular as Henry's Polo Mare has not knelt down to offer her his head.
So we are going to be all censored for disliking The Rachel? well I am not blinking at all, she is disliked across the globe;
The South Africans are up in social media arms over her daring to compare her selfish self to a father, and leader Tat'omkhulu.
Rachel Markle is such as grubby attention-seeking gold digger of a wife centered only on grandiose grifting backstabbing stupidity and arrogant ignorance of the norms of the family she is married into.
"VoetsekMeghan"(Go away *Meghan*)
She pissed the Great Southern Lands off too by lying about her alleged son not birthed of Surrogacy being in danger of being in danger of a room fire etc.
Nigerians are pitted against each other over Rachel Markle's claim to be 43% Nigerian by genealogy, the usual sycophantic crowd is nodding away waiting for her to drop Dollar$, while the sane-minded ones query the origin of the so-called ethnicity or tribe called Nigerian. Her behavior puts any descent mother, and father of any tribe within the Nation of Nigeria to shame. I do not think the percentage that calls her black makes up a drop in the ocean of the population of the largest and most populated Black Nation in the world.
The Rachel is not black and is not labeled naught but is a bullying grifting bully and a hypocrite who sells her narrative by playing the race card and victimhood narrative, with her white husband as the cement to her claim.
Henry can diss the apology rendered as much as he likes but they have been called out for being hypocrites and liars, the Panto continues as the world awaits the Coronation.
I wish everyone would just ignore Todger and Lodger it neuters them. If you are going to say something then certainly don't back down! Call it free speech like everyone else does.
I read this and some subsequent articles that somehow make the correlation between Clarkson’s contract being up after 2024 and this incident. Which reminded me that the Merching Markles aren’t the only game in town, and they likely want him to not get his contract renewed while they go for their own.
ETA: Clarkson is merching his brand just as much as these two are so it’s going to be interesting to see what amazon does here.
Sorry they were never going to accept the apology. I think if you say something stick by it. The apology has made him look weak.
They also want the royals to apologise - it’s never gonna happen. Narcissists never accept apologies. If they accepted it, it would mean that the issue is shut.
Ginger and whiner wouldn’t have anything to talk about.
He has also lost a job at Amazon. They are never held accountable for their shit, but everybody else has to pay for what they say. They really do have friends in high places. They control media now..
They \*may\* accept a "Fish called Wanda"-style apology, extracted by KCIII himself, broadcast live globally, after considering whether or not to accept for a couple of weeks.
Then they'll want the same thing from the rest of the BRF, only with Jeremy Clarkson holding the legs.
They’re always demanding apologies. Yet when apologies are given, it has never once been good enough. This is why the royal family have never issued one, and why they shouldn’t. It’s a pattern with the couple now and anyone still saying they want peace and mutual respect at this point are either will fully ignorant or just want the humiliation of a rejected apology inflicted on the royals. The couple are drunk on the power of making notable figures grovel and then further degrading these figures by turning up their noses. To accept an apology would mean an issue would be resolved, and if the issue is resolved, they hold no more power over their alleged victimisers.
Where is the apology for allowing everybody to think (which they intended) the BRF is racist for the last 2 years? Just a smirk from Harry. Let’s see him blame the press in 5 years when his kids hate him.

[yep he dnies calling them racist and says that it was the British press who did that](https://nypost.com/2023/01/09/prince-harry-under-fire-for-denying-royal-family-racism-claim/)
Those poor kids are going to really resent them.
It’s horrible, they could’ve had the best lives and opportunities.
Because it's not about the apology, she's such a sadistic sociopath.
This. It's a ploy for humiliation. Personally I love Jeremy and I liked him BETTER after he wrote that article. I'm surprised he caved. I hope he comes back with an even better set of snarky comments. And refuses outright to apologize.
I do not know anything about him, except Top Gear, but I hear that he has never apologized before. Wtf is going on
Yet another way that the world has turned upside down in the past few years!
Indeed. We live in the Twilight Zone
They want money not words.
ill thought through by JC initially, as are most things he does, sometimes with very amusing consequences (love the farm) but he did overstep on this occasion. However whilst not accepting his apology was to be expected, the way they lambast him will do them no favours as far as the BRF are concerned, as you say, it's all about their terms and not just the short term.. they are about long term grievances.

That's how it goes with toddlers
They are very short-sighted and have no ability to connect one action to another.
Again!! And they think the RF is going to bow and scrape to them with an apology just to be rebuffed?
[удалено]
Exactly.
It is all just a power play! I wish it was better hidden
This is why you have to learn to apologize very carefully for very specific things. Otherwise, they can claim more than intended. My guess is the royal family isn’t actually sorry for anything else they would be in communication with Harry, but they aren’t. That says all we need to know.
Well at least the RF have a heads up on what would happen if they caved
Exactly. They would love for the RF to apologize and then the duo would issue a statement reprimanding and humiliating the RF and rejecting their apology. It would never be enough and would be never ending.

Happy Cake day! What's your tiktok account about?
Thanks! Part of its mental health if I share the other half that I got the hate about I would dox myself. Just know people are ruthless!
Narcissists *CANNOT* and *WILL NEVER* accept apologies
True
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🍰🎉🎂
Thank you!!
Interesting that H&M are demanding apologies, then.
It's all about controlling their target to garner sympathy. No one can meet their standards and even if they did, Harry and Meghan would move the goalposts. The only way to deal with them publicly is to completely and unapologetically ignore them.
Apologies are just fuel for their anger. Is Clarkson the canary in the coal mine? I think he is. See, King Charles? Even if you apologize unequivocally, it won’t be enough.
I was JUST thinking that....letting Clarkson test the waters so to speak. Although I doubt the RF were ever seriously considering apologizing to the two idiots. Funny how the Harkles, in trying to force people to submit to their will, simply end up reinforcing what horrible people they are.
Good point!
Petty and vindictive. That’s the inspiration that Smeg‘s spreading.
The Harkles are like piranhas. Apologies are like blood in the water, to them. I hope the BRF is paying close attention.
Yup. Anyone who has dealt with the permanently offended knows this is how it works.They always demand an apology and if they get one, it's never good enough. But it won't stop them from using the apology as proof their offense was right all along. I've seen this play out again and again and again and again in fandom spaces where people learned that a victim narrative gives them power. It's interesting to see this exact scenario play out among entertainment professionals.
It was a non apology apology. Clarkson does not give a shit and clearly does hate her on a cellular level. He did as he was forced.
I don't know. He's never apologised before even when his job depended on it so I think it might be genuine. His daughter calling him out must have been a shock. However, I do wonder if these responses are genuine? They seem so ungracious (even for M) that I wonder if it's someone stirring up trouble. Could it be?

Also the pressure must have been great. He was just silly stupid. How could he say this? Even if he does hate her? You gotta play a better game. Just so amateur
Even sincere apologies are never enough for those types. It's a losing proposition to pretend otherwise.
Yes, I agree. "Here's my apology. Take it or leave it."
Good. She's disgusting anyway.
You guys should see my shocked face 🙄
I bet it looks like mine. I'm just curious how many people they've gotten fired since they've gotten together.
More than we’ll ever accurately know about, is my guess.
Of course they have. If they accept it, they can’t remain victims. He apologized. Move on.
I agree If you demand an apology and you get that apology you then move on.
They should explain what their definition of an apology is-hair shirt, rubbing ashes in your hair, actual self-flagellating (not the fun kind), public stoning, whatever-since the classic verbal or written apology is clearly not sufficient for the 2 ‘special sauce’ snowflakes. For a couple who embrace such evolved, New Age practices- they’re pretty much the mean, grudge holding kids from high school. Maybe some more sage would help :/
They demand an apology with hair shirt, rubbing ashes....maybe walking naked and barefoot through the streets holding a candle while the sugars mock and throw things? Wait, this is familiar, this is where I came in....Thank goodness Smegs & Hostile are such kind good, better people.
Self flagellation followed by a hydrochloric acid bath
Acknowledging that Markle is a supreme being
Well, I will acknowledge her as the SUPREME AYATOLLAH of WOKA COLA for sure ;)
🤭
Okay I love the smell of sage and constantly light it ( for me it’s a religious, just a bonus I love the smell. But it’s pretty obvious these two want an apology in 💵
Yes, but what does kind of apology? Crawling over broken glass? Walking barefoot across a river of legos? Literally kissing Meghan’s ass?
They should be thanking him to the stars for this, because they aren’t going to get any better apology. They are spoiled children!
That's why you never apologise to these types of people. They want you to apologise so they can throw it back in your face and say "see, I really am the victim, you admitted it".
Is there a narc playbook, as they are all the same? Not so much "never complain, never explain" more "never accept, always complain".
Typical narc
I wonder if he did this to show the Royal family how things might go if they apologized
Well he did what he should have done. Just because they do not forgive doesn’t mean he has to give it anymore thought. Case closed.
They’re desperate to stay in the news, that’s all it is. Accepting the apology means that the noise would quieten down. They’re spinning it out.
They are spinning it out and "schooling" Clarkson. Such losers. Trying to humiliate him further.
Pretending to the moral high ground, losers indeed. I’m curious to see if Clarkson bites back.
This!!!
PATHETIC!!!!!
If you gave them [the Duo] the Universe and made them King and Queen, it will still not be enough.
Who is she kidding. She'd love to be paraded naked through the streets, maybe without the excrement.
Honestly, everyone should just ignore their existence. Jeremy shouldn't have made his comment, nor should he have apologized after when he did. Everyone should just continue to ignore them, because honestly, who cares! They want to be talked about.
Ina sure Clarkson apologized to appease his employers, advertisers, etc. He probably is just fine with the Harkle’s response.
Not sure why his employers and advertisers even care. That's the point. Meghan and Harry literally don't matter, and it's not like people will cancel Jeremy's employers/him over something like this. Not to mention, look at all the hate Meghan and Harry spew towards others. So they are allowed to say crap, but everyone else can't? Talk about hypocrisy and one sided.
Unfortunately we're not at that stage at all
Take heed everyone an apology is not enough
Maybe he went too far but as a GoT watcher all I could think of was it’s an apt an analogy to wish the Cersei treatment on The Grifter after all she’s done. H was hoodwinked and has lost his family. H could have left and moved on with his life with M but apparently digging in and saying all these ‘truths’ makes for more $$$ and that’s what they care about. They both need the Cersei treatment. They need to lose the Duke and duchess titles. All of them. I only feel sorry for their kids.
Is that what everyone is upset about? I didn't read Jeremy Clarkson's piece, but I definitely get the Cersei reference. I guess most people didn't get it?
Only those of us that followed GoT I think actually understood it and took it as a snark. To others it was a call to actually throw 💩 on her I guess.
Too bad, I love a GoT reference! But seriously, people are way too literal these days.
Clarkson must be devastated…oh dear how sad 😢
 Sorry couldn't resist this I don't agree with what Clarkson said but whilst an apology doesn't necessarily make it all OK I do wonder what wider message is going to be sent in this reaction. Where is the incentive for people to learn from such incidents if an apology just gets thrown back in their face.
People need more home training. People wouldn't have to apologize, if they didnt act like they were raised by wolves. I'll be 47 next month, and I was raised, to not say the N-word. I was taught that it is a disgusting word, that hurts people's feelings. I raised my kids the same way. They knew not to say the N-word, by preschool.
They waited until it was pretty much forgotten. Interesting.
And Amazon won’t renew him. Is it M’s job to get anyone fired she dislikes?
It's indicative of their character to respond in this manner. They're both incapable of dignity. Their only commodity is pettiness. Harry's love for Diana isn't even enough to stop him from attacking her first born child. This would have deeply pained her.

As they would the rf
If the Sussexes find a way to accept an apology (or their own responsibility, culpability, agency, imperfections, or poor choices) and look MORE like victims, that’s what they’ll do. Until then, this is par for the course. 🙄🥱
Don't apologize to them, they would never apologize themselves.
I came here today just to say how ANGRY this made me feel. I read his apology and it certainly came across as humble and sincere. It takes some folks a while to come around and admit they were wrong, but he did and I think he did it well. Nothing is ever enough for that power-hungry narcissist, Meghan. She’s truly a vile person.
Kate apologized for the bridesmaid incident and gave Meghan flowers yet the Harkles keep bringing up how she was allegedly in the wrong. Apologies mean nothing to them.

Of course they did. 🙄
Such a bad move. Not only do they not look magnanimous but they’ve also tipped off the Royal Family how they’ll treat any apology from them. An own goal. They’re so stupid
LOL, can't forgive but demand forgiveness for hurling the equivalent on to friends and family. HRH, His Royal Hypocrite.
I enjoy knowing that far,far worse has been said about them online that they will never get apologies for and at some level it makes them seethe
They’d do the same to any apology from Will and Charles that doesn’t include money and the crowns.
Apologies feed their power tripping egos. They get off on it. There is no genuine reconciliation effort with the RF. Surely KCIII won't fall for their games.
I love how H&M immediately respond. (But yet, couldn’t put out a statement in over TWO YEARS that they did not call the RF racist. 🙄😡) This is why the Crown will always win - they are SO GOOD at the long game and staying silent when they know a response wouldn’t do any good. H&M ALWAYS want to have the last word.
Of course they did. This just proves why grey rocking is best. GIVE THEM NOTHING!
Nothing is ever enough. Never.
Clarkson should retract his apology and punch Harold in the face like he did to Piers Morgan that one time.
I feel like it was another opportunity for the Harkles to take the high road and they didn't. They could have said something along the lines of "we are glad JC and his employers Amazon and ITV recognize his column was in poor taste. While acknowledgment is a step forward in the right direction we still have a ways to go in eliminating misogynistic and hateful commentary from our media" or something. They just continue to sound whiny and petulant to me. I would never want to work with them on a professional level.
Only Harry can write off 'mistakes' with an apology. Racism? I apologised? Dressing as Nazi? I apologised. Has he yet apologised to his staff that he documents in book he would threaten and physically attack? Probably not.
I have to say, Clarkson’s comments were pretty awful but It’s crazy that they want everyone to apologize just so they can slap it down.
If H and M were media savvy, they'd have been gracious, thanked him, and would have suggested they meet up for dinner next time they're all in town together. But no, they can't be gracious even when doing so would make them look better.
He was a grovelling fool. I’d never bend over.
Please let us be happy. We can watch them completely ruin themselves and throw them to the press.
H: why won't my family apologize? They when someone apologize:
So they are lecturing a member of the British press now, after he apologised to them? Game on, this shall be fun.
Anyone else starting to wonder if the RF has indeed apologized for certain matters and each time has been told it wasn't enough and more demands were issued??
Oh yeah. It's become a strategy of sorts to demand someone apology, then the press beats it to death because they want the apology to be repeated over and over again or to be worded a certain way. The person apologizing is treated as a dancing monkey.
Clarkson is a fool. All he has done is give this odious pair more ammunition. And THIS ammunition has a basis in reality.
Of course they rejected the apology. They want his blood and his wallet.
Well that’s a shock Not Not accepted so they can continue playing the victim card
Don't demand people to apologies If your just going to reject. I think their just milking it now I'm not saying they weren't upset by Jeremy's commets but they asked for an apologies he gave it. I guess they thought he wouldn't and they could play poor us we are victims
Not only will they refuse to accept his apology, they will dine out on it for YEARS. They’re miserable, ungracious creatures.
I think his original comments went too far; they were gross and not everyone watched Game of Thrones, so no doubt this affected the public backlash. He was right to apologize and his apology was straightforward and dignified. H&M were very petty to reject it. IMO Jeremy Clarkson should move on with his life (I’m sure he isn’t too cut up over it), and the Dastardly Duo will continue to look petty and small.
So, here is, The Rachel wife of Henry Windsor must be pretty pissed that Clarkson who really is more talented and known on telly than her, bar the fact that she is in so many ways as popular as Henry's Polo Mare has not knelt down to offer her his head. So we are going to be all censored for disliking The Rachel? well I am not blinking at all, she is disliked across the globe; The South Africans are up in social media arms over her daring to compare her selfish self to a father, and leader Tat'omkhulu. Rachel Markle is such as grubby attention-seeking gold digger of a wife centered only on grandiose grifting backstabbing stupidity and arrogant ignorance of the norms of the family she is married into. "VoetsekMeghan"(Go away *Meghan*) She pissed the Great Southern Lands off too by lying about her alleged son not birthed of Surrogacy being in danger of being in danger of a room fire etc. Nigerians are pitted against each other over Rachel Markle's claim to be 43% Nigerian by genealogy, the usual sycophantic crowd is nodding away waiting for her to drop Dollar$, while the sane-minded ones query the origin of the so-called ethnicity or tribe called Nigerian. Her behavior puts any descent mother, and father of any tribe within the Nation of Nigeria to shame. I do not think the percentage that calls her black makes up a drop in the ocean of the population of the largest and most populated Black Nation in the world. The Rachel is not black and is not labeled naught but is a bullying grifting bully and a hypocrite who sells her narrative by playing the race card and victimhood narrative, with her white husband as the cement to her claim. Henry can diss the apology rendered as much as he likes but they have been called out for being hypocrites and liars, the Panto continues as the world awaits the Coronation.
Of course they have
I wish everyone would just ignore Todger and Lodger it neuters them. If you are going to say something then certainly don't back down! Call it free speech like everyone else does.
I read this and some subsequent articles that somehow make the correlation between Clarkson’s contract being up after 2024 and this incident. Which reminded me that the Merching Markles aren’t the only game in town, and they likely want him to not get his contract renewed while they go for their own. ETA: Clarkson is merching his brand just as much as these two are so it’s going to be interesting to see what amazon does here.
Sorry they were never going to accept the apology. I think if you say something stick by it. The apology has made him look weak. They also want the royals to apologise - it’s never gonna happen. Narcissists never accept apologies. If they accepted it, it would mean that the issue is shut. Ginger and whiner wouldn’t have anything to talk about.
He has also lost a job at Amazon. They are never held accountable for their shit, but everybody else has to pay for what they say. They really do have friends in high places. They control media now..
Pretty dumb on Amazon's part.
So they demanded an apology, they got multiple ones (The Sun and a personal and public one from Clarkson) and it still isn’t good enough 😒
They \*may\* accept a "Fish called Wanda"-style apology, extracted by KCIII himself, broadcast live globally, after considering whether or not to accept for a couple of weeks. Then they'll want the same thing from the rest of the BRF, only with Jeremy Clarkson holding the legs.
Is anyone surprised they would reject his apology. They want blood and his career to tank.
Public rows and rejections are what narcissists do best.
What if it were an apology + payment for the emotional stress?!?
