Meghan Markle's Costar Was Offered $70,000 To Lie About Dating Her
Meghan Markle's former costar, Simon Rex, has revealed that multiple tabloids offered him money to lie about dating the duchess.
On the Hollywood Raw podcast, Rex said, "I said no to a lot of money because I didn’t feel right lying."
Rex and Markle costarred in TV series Cuts in 2005.
Duchess Meghan has been frank about how she's been mistreated by the British tabloids, and now one of her former costars has opened up about being offered a bribe to lie about the royal.
Actor Simon Rex, who costarred with Meghan in TV show Cuts in 2005, just gave a revealing interview on the Hollywood Raw podcast. While tabloids have painted a picture of Rex as being one of Meghan's exes, the actor says there's zero truth to the claims. He explained, "Nothing happened. We never even kissed. We hung out once in a very non-datey way." He continued, "She was just someone I had met on a TV show, and we got lunch. That was the extent of it."
And that's not all. As well as mischaracterizing the interactions that took place between the two actors, several tabloids reportedly tried to coerce Rex into lying about the Duchess of Sussex. He revealed, "When that story broke, a couple British tabloids offered to pay me a lot of money to say a lie that we actually hooked up." However, Rex wasn't interested in the bribe and explained, "I said no to a lot of money because I didn’t feel right lying and fucking up the royal fucking family."

As for how much he was offered, Rex said, "It was a lot of money, man. I think they offered me like $70,000."
If you're ever considering believing a farfetched story in a British tabloid, please remember that a lot of money was once offered to get someone to lie about dating Meghan. Basically, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's decision to distance themselves from the press is beyond understandable at this point.
