Meg ‘CAUGHT Buying Bots’? Online Whispers Explode After Meghan Slides to #25 on “Most Disliked Celebrities” List
Social media went into full meltdown this week after explosive online whispers began circulating about a sudden spike in suspicious-looking engagement linked to Meghan — just as her name reportedly slipped to #25 on a viral “Most Disliked Celebrities” ranking.
The chatter started quietly. Then came the screenshots. Then the graphs.
Online sleuths claim they noticed what appeared to be an overnight surge of brand-new accounts, unusually uniform comments and perfectly timed likes flooding posts connected to the Duchess. Within hours, speculation erupted that the activity may not be organic — with some users boldly suggesting the presence of automated “bot” behavior.
“It looked too clean, too fast,” one digital analyst claimed in a widely shared thread. “Engagement patterns shifted in a way that raised eyebrows.”
At the same time, Meghan’s name was said to have dropped to #25 on a widely circulated ‘most disliked celebrities’ list, a ranking that had already been trending across TikTok and X. The combination of a slipping placement and a sudden engagement jump lit the fuse on what quickly became a full-blown online firestorm.
Cue the conspiracy theories.
Private groups began swapping screenshots of comment sections. TikTok creators posted breakdown videos. Amateur data detectives zoomed in on timestamps, follower histories and posting patterns — all trying to answer the same question:
Was this just a coincidence… or something more calculated?
“People underestimate how reputation is managed online,” another source alleges. “Digital cleanup is a real thing — and the timing made people suspicious.”
Supporters insist the speculation is unfair, arguing that viral cycles, fan mobilization and algorithm shifts can easily explain sudden engagement spikes — especially around controversial rankings that naturally provoke strong reactions.
“Any public figure trending on a ‘most disliked’ list is going to see an immediate surge of online activity,” one social media strategist noted. “That doesn’t automatically mean anything artificial.”
Still, skeptics remain unconvinced.
They point to what they describe as oddly synchronized posting times, similar phrasing across multiple accounts and brand-new profiles suddenly flooding conversations — all of which fueled the narrative that something behind the scenes might be happening.
Meanwhile, the ranking itself continues to ripple across entertainment circles, sparking debate about public perception, media fatigue and how celebrity popularity can shift rapidly in the age of viral lists and algorithm-driven outrage.
No official statements have been issued, and there is currently no public evidence confirming any coordinated activity. But in today’s digital culture, perception alone can be enough to create a headline — and this one is now traveling fast.
Is this just internet hysteria layered on top of a controversial ranking?
Or the first visible sign of a quiet reputation reset?
For now, one thing is certain:
The numbers moved.
The list went viral.
And the internet is watching every click.
Because in the age of screenshots and algorithms, even whispers can trend
