Meghan Markle Tops 2025 List of Most Disliked Celebrities — A Reflection of Fame, Public Perception, and Polarization
Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, has once again found herself at the center of public scrutiny after being named the “most disliked celebrity of 2025,” according to Ranker.com.
The Duchess secured the top spot with over 48,000 votes, while her husband, Prince Harry, ranked third on the same list. The infamous couple, often subjects of heated debate since their royal exit in 2020 — popularly dubbed “Megxit” — continue to evoke divided opinions across the globe.
The second spot on the list went to Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was recently sentenced to over four years in prison following prostitution-related charges involving two of his ex-girlfriends.
Other names on the controversial list include:
Oprah Winfrey (No. 4)
Jada Pinkett Smith (No. 5)
Ellen DeGeneres (No. 6)
Chrissy Teigen, Amber Heard, Bill Cosby, and Kris Jenner rounding up the top 10.
Social media users wasted no time in reacting. One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “Meghan Markle is deemed the most disliked celebrity of the year AGAIN.” Another, with tongue-in-cheek humor, added: “And people said she’d never be successful at anything! Congratulations Megs, we have faith you’ll continue to do well in this category.”
💭 Opinion: The Meghan Markle Debate — Dislike or Misunderstanding?
Meghan Markle’s polarizing public image is a fascinating study in how fame, media framing, and perception intertwine.
For some, she represents a woman who stood up against a powerful institution and championed independence, self-worth, and mental health. For others, she embodies entitlement, hypocrisy, and self-promotion.
But beneath the endless commentary lies a deeper truth — Meghan’s story mirrors how the modern audience consumes celebrity culture. People today don’t just watch fame; they participate in shaping it, often through harsh online judgment.
It’s worth noting that public dislike doesn’t always translate to failure. Many polarizing figures — from Madonna to Kanye West — have thrived in controversy. Meghan may be disliked, but she remains undeniably relevant, commanding headlines and conversations worldwide.
Perhaps, the real question isn’t why Meghan Markle is disliked — but why the world can’t stop talking about her.
✨ Love her or loathe her, Meghan continues to prove that in today’s media age, being unforgettable might just be the greatest success of all.
