The 50-year-old TV star took to Twitter on Sunday night (07.03.21) after watching Oprah's sit-down interview with the former 'Suits' actress and Prince Harry to issue an apology, having previously mocked the Duchess' "plight" on social media.

She tweeted: "I watched M & H sit down. Emotional distress & racism must feel suffocating & powerless. I’m a polarizing, unfiltered(often to a fault)flawed person w a voice. When I heard of the interview,during a pandemic, it felt like a surprising choice. I’m sorry if it hurt or offended you. (sic)"

During the interview on CBS, the Duchess admitted to having suicidal thoughts after joining the royal family.

But prior to the interview broadcasting, Bethenny hit out at the Meghan, suggesting she should've accepted the good and bad parts of being a royal before marrying Prince Harry in 2018.

She previously wrote on the micro-blogging platform: "I chose reality tv, to work towards making $, to be scrutinized & criticized.I took the trappings & the beatings along with it. It’s a rose w petals & thorns. People beg to enter the often toxic institution I signed up for. That WAS the life I chose. You can’t play stupid & smart (sic)"

Bethenny also made light of some of the Duchess' concerns.

She wrote on Twitter: "Cry me a river...the plight of being a game show host, fairly unknown actress, to suffering in a palace, w tiaras & 7 figure weddings for TWO WHOLE YEARS to being a household name w @Oprah on speed dial, fetching 7 m for interviews, hundreds of millions in media deals. [thinking face emoji] #MARRY (sic)"

By contrast, Gabrielle Union has voiced her support for the former 'Suits' actress on Instagram.

The 48-year-old actress wrote on the photo-sharing platform: "You already know what time it is. I hope we all continue to rally around women who dare to stand up for themselves and others. We see you, we support you, we got your back."

And Meghan won praise from Serena Williams for speaking out.

The tennis champion - who is a good friend of the former actress - said in a statement posted on Twitter: "Meghan Markle, my selfless friend, lives her life - and leads by example - with empathy and compassion. She teaches me every day what it means to truly be noble. Her words illustrate the pain and cruelty she's experienced."
