Explaining that this mutual friend then reached out to her, Meghan replied:
"I asked if I could see his feed. So that's the thing, when people say, 'Did you google him', No. That's your homework. You're like let me see what they're about in their feed, not what someone else says about them but what they are putting out about themselves. That to me was the best barometer."
