Jeremy Clarkson has issued a statement as thousands of people complained to the news regulator about his Meghan Markle article. The Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso) confirmed it had received more than 6,000 complaints about the story, which was published by The Sun on Friday (December 16).
A spokesman for the media watchdog said the complaints were being assessed in accordance with its standard procedure, and that the number was subject to change. The spokesman added that Ipso had received a total of 14,355 complaints in 2021.
Presenter Jeremy Clarkson ranted about his 'hate' for the former Duchess of Sussex, comparing his level of detest for her to serial killer Rose West. He wrote: "Meghan, though, is a different story. I hate her. Not like I hate Nicola Sturgeon or Rose West. I hate her on a cellular level."
