A plethora of users agreed with Bateman's assessment of the royals, applauding her honesty. Others have praised the couple for their philanthropy.

Bateman has continued her tirade against California officials and how they've handled the wildfires. Speaking to Jesse Watters on Friday, Bateman, who lives in the Hollywood Hills, said she was "pretty p---ed" with the state of her city. "If you're going to run a city, or run a state, you have to take care of the basics. And that's [to] make sure that your fire and police department[s] are well funded."

"If you're not doing everything you can to take care of those problems if they arise, then get out. You are useless to us," she declared.
