Meghan Markle’s Netflix Gig at Risk as Taylor Swift Shuts Her Down
The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, faces potential cancellation from a Netflix project due to her recent humiliation by pop superstar Taylor Swift.
Known for having the last word in any confrontation, Taylor has left many celebrities, including John Mayer, Joe Jonas, and Harry Styles, regretting their decisions to engage with her.
According to royal expert Dan Wooten, Taylor's snub of Meghan and a Spotify podcast could spell trouble for the Sussexes' relationship with Netflix.
In an article for the Daily Mail, Wooten emphasized that Taylor's influence in American entertainment could shatter Meghan's Hollywood dreams.
Taylor Swift's reputation as a force to be reckoned with is well-established, and reports from the Wall Street Journal suggest that her treatment of Meghan was far from flattering.
This revelation could potentially inspire Netflix to follow suit and distance themselves from the Duchess.
In fact, the streaming giant has already canceled at least one of Meghan's projects.
The outlet revealed that Meghan had personally written a letter to Taylor, inviting her to appear on a now-defunct podcast called Archetypes.
However, Taylor not only declined the offer but also chose not to respond at all.
Instead, a representative conveyed the rejection, treating it as just another routine refusal of an interview request from the numerous TV shows, podcasts, and tabloids vying for her attention.
This news comes on the heels of Spotify publicly severing ties with the Markles, delivering what may be considered the most scathing dismissal in firing history.
In an episode of their docuseries, “Meghan and Harry,” the couple discussed the detrimental impact of online trolls on their mental health.
As they recounted the criticism they faced, they included a clip of content creator Shall and Lester without her consent.
This discovery left Lester baffled.
She expressed her outrage in a YouTube video, vowing to take legal action against the couple.
Lester referred to the Duchess as a “reality TV show game show briefcase girl,” mocking her failed Spotify partnership, a $20 million 12-episode podcast deal.
Lester's frustration seemed to resonate with others as Spotify's decision prompted a wave of criticism against the Sussexes' work ethic, entitlement, and generally unlikable demeanor.
Even Jeremy Zimmer, CEO of United Talent Agency (UTA), a prominent Hollywood talent agency, publicly questioned their abilities, stating, “I don't think they're that talented.”
Lester also hinted at a potential legal battle against Meghan and Harry, labeling their actions as defamatory and slanderous.
She challenged anyone associated with the documentary to provide evidence of their claims regarding a supposed shadow network against the couple.
Lester concluded by branding Meghan as paranoid and self-aggrandizing, unable to comprehend how their victim narratives make them insufferable.
As the fallout from Taylor Swift's snub continues to unfold, it remains uncertain whether Meghan Markle's relationship with Netflix will survive.
The influence of powerful figures like Taylor and the public backlash against the Sussexes' recent endeavors may prove to be significant obstacles for the couple's Hollywood aspirations.
Only time will tell if Meghan can recover from this humiliation and regain her footing in the entertainment industry.
