\tThe Sun has issued an apology for running a column by British TV personality Jeremy Clarkson about Meghan Markle that has been condemned for being \u201cdeeply misogynistic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tThe British tabloid ran Clarkson’s article on Dec. 16, the day after the release of the second half of episodes for Markle and Prince Harry’s widely watched Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan<\/em>which sees the couple revealing new behind-the-scenes information about their treatment from both the UK press and royal family, ultimately leading to their separation from royal life.<\/p>\n

\n

\tThe former Top Gear <\/em>host wrote in his column that Prince Harry was being \u201ccontrolled\u201d by Markle and that he was \u201cdreaming of the day when she is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain while the crowds chant ‘Shame!’ and throw lumps of excrement at her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tOn Friday, the newspaper apologized for running the column and removed the article from its website and archives, noting in a post to its website that the column had \u201cprovoked a strong response and led to a large number of complaints to IPSO, the independent press regulator.”<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Hollywood Reporter <\/em>reported it had led to 6,000 complaints three days after publication.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cColumnists’ opinions are their own, but as a publisher we realize that with free expression comes responsibility. We at The Sun regret the publication of this article and we are sincerely sorry,\u201d read the statement, in part. <\/p>\n

\n

\tThe column \u2014 which targets Markle in the way she and Prince Harry commonly describe when discussing the British tabloids in Harry & Meghan<\/em> \u2014 received swift backlash, including from Clarkson’s daughter, podcast host Emily Clarkson, who said, \u201cMy views are and have always been clear when it comes to misogyny, bullying and the treatment of women by the media. I want to make it very clear that I stand against everything that my dad wrote about Meghan Markle and I remain standing in support of those that are targeted with online hatred.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tFirst Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon, who was also named in the column as someone Clarkson \u201chates\u201d on a \u201ccellular level,\u201d called the piece \u201cdeeply misogynist.\u201d she told The Times<\/em>\u201cI think what he said about Meghan Markle was deeply misogynist and just downright awful and horrible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tOn Monday, Clarkson addressed the response but did not apologize. \u201cOh dear. I’ve rather put my foot in it. In a column I wrote about Meghan, I made a clumsy reference to a scene in game of Thrones <\/em>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 he wrote on Twitter of the reference to the memorable Cersei (Lena Headey) moment in Game of Thrones.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\tClarkson, who in 2015 was fired as host of the BBC’s motoring show after punching a producer, is the star of Amazon Prime Video series The Grand Tour <\/em>and Clarkson’s Farm<\/em>and also hosts Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?<\/em> for ITV. ITV said there are no plans to take action following the column, while Amazon has yet to comment about the forthcoming season.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
