Bateman jumped on “X” over the weekend to rant about the former British royals, starting by calling Harry and Meghan “ambulance chasers.”

The “Family Ties” actress then slammed the couple over a “disgusting photo” they were photographed in on Friday Touring the disaster area near Pasadena with the mayor of that city, Victor Gordo.
Pittman added: “Are they politicians now? They don’t live here. They are tourists. Disaster tourists.
In fairness, Harry and Meghan do live in California, but in beautiful Montecito in Santa Barbara County, about 90 miles north of Los Angeles.
The two reportedly opened their mansion to friends and family affected by the wildfires, distributing supplies and other necessities.
Meanwhile, Bateman also criticized Los Angeles officials during an interview last week on “Jesse Waters Prime Time.” She told Waters that officials should be fired over their handling of the deadly bushfires because they failed to plan ahead.
So far, 24 people have died in the fires, while at least 16 others are missing, and thousands of homes have been destroyed.
