Samantha Markle has denounced allegations against her father, Thomas Markle Sr, as 'disgusting lies,' accusing her half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr, of making them for financial gain. Her response follows reports that Thomas Jr alerted authorities after allegedly discovering suspected child sexual abuse material among belongings at their father's home in Cebu, the Philippines.
'He wants to destroy our dad. Shame on him,' Samantha told the Daily Mail on 22 October. She disputed any suggestion that the material could be linked to her father, claiming electronic devices had been outside his possession for two years while he received medical care in the United States.
