Another aspect of the abuse levelled at Meghan Markle that we don't talk about enough is how attacking her has now become a profitable branding opportunity for people like Janetti and the myriad talking-heads of the British tabloids.
Janetti's is just the creepiest example.

Suri's Burn Book was a sharp satire that used a famous child as a conduit to explore issues of the tabloid industrial complex that surrounds the kids of celebrities & the unnerving cult of fascination that enveloped Suri Cruise's youth.
Gary Janetti is no Suri's Burn Book.

Seriously, where is the "satire" in contrasting a picture of a woman in a red dress with the shorter, sexier version she wore for a TV gig? All while in the guise of a literal toddler? What's the joke, other than slut-shaming?
I can only assume that the endless celeb & industry support that Janetti has is because of his previous work in TV because I fail to see the satire or wit behind using a toddler as your mouth-piece for calling small children fat and women stupid.
I'll write about this later.

So I was wondering why this thread was getting a lot of attention this week.
Janetti is now on a mass deleting spree of some of his nastier "satirical" posts involving Meghan Markle and a literal child.
54 posts gone. Anyone got screen grabs?

I note that these two especially gross ones are gone. I guess slut-shaming & attacking baby were a bit too much for his current HBO deal?
This was his last post. The comments were locked.
Pure speculation here but I wonder if Mr. Janetti is scrambling to ensure his HBO series doesn't get the plug following a renewed pushback against systemic racism & its prevalence in Hollywood. How generous of him.

Here's a little taste of Janetti's misogyny when he decides to branch out of Meghan attacks.
See, it's funny because he's imagining a toddler repeatedly calling a member of his family an animal.
