Samantha Markle’s Reason for Suing
Meghan has a broken relationship with her family due to the split between Samantha Markle and Thomas Markle. Her sister and her father have supported the British tabloids and are open to giving hurtful interviews whenever possible. Samantha was expelled from Twitter after repeatedly attacking her half sister. There’s nothing but disdain here folks.
