A popular YouTube personality reckons she’s going to sue Harry and Meghan over claims they defamed her in their 2022 documentary.
The documentary used an image of Shallon Lester during a segment detailing an online hate campaign against the pair.
Lester claims the episode implied she was part of a coordinated online attack against Markle.
The internet personality has more than 350,000 subscribers on the platform and was a one-time New York magazine editor, and describes herself as Barbie meets Dr Phil.
Lester posted a video to YouTube stating she was unhappy with the use of her image in the documentary.
“Believe me when I say I’m pursuing every opportunity – my lawyer’s gonna be mad at me – to nail their arse to the wall for this,” Lester said.
“It’s defamation, it’s slander, it’s mischaracterisation. And you know what else it is? Misinformation.”
Lester then appeared on GB News to say the pair presented an “imagined victim narrative”.
“I think we are, just as global citizens, tired of watching Meghan and Harry present their imagined victim narrative as fact,” she said on the program.
“And eventually if you keep doing this, you’re going to make claims that are not only false, they’re defamatory,” she said.
Lester claims that she has been the subject of an online hate campaign implemented by fans of the Sussexes since the documentary was released.
She also claims it damaged her brand.
