Justine Bateman has called out Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for their actions during the LA fires, labeling them as insensitive ‘disaster tourists’
Bateman, known for her role in “Family Ties,” took to social media to express her frustration. She called the couple “disaster tourists” and said they were acting like “ambulance chasers.” Ouch!
She shared her thoughts after seeing footage of Harry and Meghan mingling with local officials, including Pasadena’s mayor. While they did help by opening their home to evacuees and donating essentials, Bateman feels their visit was more about the photo op than genuine support.
Many people online seem to agree with her. Some praised Bateman for speaking out, while others defended Harry and Meghan for their charitable efforts. It’s a mixed bag of opinions.
Bateman has also been vocal about her dissatisfaction with how California officials are handling the wildfires. She believes they need to prioritize funding for fire and police departments to better protect the community.
As for the wildfires, they’re still a serious issue. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reports multiple active fires in the area, with significant damage and loss of life. It’s a tough situation for everyone involved.
