Meghan Markles' faith in humanity restored after co-star denies lying about her

Meghan Markle's "Cuts" co-star Simon Rex has said the Duchess of Sussex thanked him when he turned down a $70,000 offer to say he slept with her.

The American actor revealed last year that he was offered $70,000 by British tabloids.

Meghan Markles' faith in humanity restored after co-star denies lying about her

In a latest interview with The Guardian, Meghan's former friend said she needed the money when many tabloids wanted her to say she slept with her "Cuts" co-star.

"I was broke as the f***! I really needed the money." But I'll be on the food stamp before I do that."

Rex said Markle thanked him in a letter he prepared and kept at his home in Joshua Tree in Southern California.

"She said: 'It's nice to know there are still good people out there,'" Rex said.
