TMZ under fire to pull documentary 'Where is Kate Middleton' following cancer diagnosis revelation

LONDON, ENGLAND: TMZ, the American gossip site, is under increasing pressure to retract its documentary titled 'Where Is Kate Middleton,' in light of the recent disclosure by the Princess of Wales regarding her cancer battle.

The documentary, broadcasted on the Fox network in the US, purported to explore Kate Middleton's "sudden disappearance" subsequent to her abdominal surgery in January.

However, the timing of its airing, just hours before Kate's announcement of her cancer diagnosis, has incited outrage and allegations of insensitivity.

What is the 'Where Is Kate Middleton' documentary about?

Featuring interviews with broadcaster Piers Morgan and Princess Diana's former butler Paul Burrell, the documentary speculated on the circumstances surrounding Kate's surgery and absence from public life.

The broadcast, occurring amidst widespread social media speculation about Kate's health, has intensified the distress for Prince William and Kate.

The distressing news of Kate's diagnosis follows weeks of cruel speculation and wild conspiracy theories circulating online, fueled by her absence from public appearances.

Celebrities like Kim Kardashian received criticism for apparently trivializing Kate's situation, exacerbating the pain experienced by the royal family.

In a profoundly intimate declaration disseminated globally at 6 pm GMT, the 42-year-old Kate revealed that she had commenced "preventative" chemotherapy.

"This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family," said the Princess.

This disclosure emerged just one day after the airing of 'Where Is Kate Middleton' by TMZ Investigates in the United States.

TMZ slammed to remove their documentary 'Where is Kate Middleton'

TMZ's involvement in perpetuating the speculation has garnered significant criticism on social media platforms, with many labeling it as harassment directed towards the Princess of Wales.

A user tweeted, "They should all feel shame. But TMZ doesn’t know what that word means so who knows if they’ll pull it or not."

Another added, "They need to apologize!"

A user said, "Considering what happened to the last Princess of Wales, y'all actually think no one would blink twice at the current one 'disappearing' for weeks? She's produced the heir and a spare just like Diana; so people wonder if she's now 'disposable'. Fire her PR team, it's horrible."

"TMZ sucks but Kensington Palace pr sucks, and they should be ashamed of throwing Kate under the bus," another user added. "Time to boycott!!!!" read a tweet.

"@TMZ have been vile throughout this whole thing," stated a user.
