An Actor Says He Was Offered $70k by British Media to Lie About Having Sex With Meghan Markle

This is a lot to take in: British media allegedly offered Meghan Markle’s “ex” Simon Rex to lie about sex with the actress before Megxit.

The 45-year-old Scary Movie 3 actor is often pegged as the Duchess’ ex-boyfriend—but in a new interview with the Hollywood Raw podcast in March 2020, Rex claims his relationship with Markle was always platonic. “Nothing happened [between Meghan and me],” he said during the podcast. “We never even kissed.

It was just, like, we hung out once in a very non-datey way. She was just someone I had met on a TV show and, like, we got lunch.

That was the extent of it.” Yet given Markle’s feud with British media, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that outlets pounced on the friendly lunch with a different angle.
