A controversial column that British TV host Jeremy Clarkson wrote for the Sun has been taken down following mounting criticism and after the polarizing star issued an apology on Twitter. <\/p>\n
The Friday column was written by \u201cThe Grand Tour\u201d host about Meghan Markle on the heels of the release of the final three episodes of the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry’s new Netflix docuseries. The six-part series, \u201cHarry & Meghan,\u201d chronicles their experiences since stepping back from duties as senior royals in the British monarch.<\/p>\n
Clarkson’s column was written under the Sun’s opinion section and is no longer posted on the tabloid’s website.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn light of Jeremy Clarkson’s tweet he has asked us to take last week’s column down,\u201d the Sun said on the webpage where the column originally ran.<\/p>\n
In the piece, the 62-year-old wrote of his distaste for the California-born duchess, saying that he hated her \u201con a cellular level,\u201d despises her more than a serial killer and that he dreamed of a day that people would throw excrement at her on the streets. He also thinks Netflix should have renamed the series \u201cA Woman, Talking Bollocks\u201d and laments the damage Meghan brought to the royal family.<\/p>\n
The BBC News reported Monday that more than 6,000 complaints were made to press regulator Ipso regarding the piece, which also prompted a strange apology on Monday from the former \u201cTop Gear\u201d host.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh dear. I’ve rather put my foot in it. In a column,\u201d Clarkson tweeted. \u201cI wrote about Meghan, I made a clumsy reference to a scene in Game of Thrones and this has gone down badly with a great many people. I’m horrified to have caused so much hurt and I shall be more careful in future.\u201d<\/p>\n
