Of seeking advice, Meghan said: “Kris Jenner helped me with the hate online. I went to her and I was like: ‘Everyone’s mad at me.’

“She said: ‘That’s all that matters. You’re doing great.’”
Meghan added: “Kris was really nice about it and I was like: ‘I can’t imagine what you guys [the Kardashians] are going through.’
“She was like, ‘You don’t want to know, it’s a lot.’

“It made me just crumble and feel like I never wanted to go outside again.”
Meghan, who also has another son, Barry, with actor hubby Daryl Sabara, said she consulted her doctor following exhaustion from social media.
