Betrayed: Netflix Ends Deal with Sussexes as Joe Coy Exposes Their Secrets at the 2024 Golden Globes
In a shocking turn of events, Netflix has decided to terminate its partnership with the Sussexes after host Joe Coy revealed their hidden truths during the 2024 Golden Globes.
This comes as a major blow to Meghan and Harry, who have been actively building their brand since stepping away from the royal family in 2020.
Their endeavors included a memoir, a Netflix series, a Spotify podcast, and various other projects.
However, both the Netflix series and Harry's memoir, titled “Spare,” faced severe backlash due to the couple's criticism of the royal family.
The Spotify deal also came to an end after just one series of podcasts by Meghan's Archetypes.
Bill Griffin, Head of the Division of Spotify Podcast Innovation, labeled the Sussexes as “grifters” and dubbed them Hollywood's Biggest Losers.
PR expert Mark Barkowski weighed in on the situation, stating that while Harry aspires to create valuable and unique content, he may encounter difficulties.
It seems that neither Netflix nor Spotify have been successful ventures for the couple, primarily because the type of content they wish to produce is perceived as lacking value.
Despite Harry's desire for meaningful creations that reflect their values, it appears that people are more interested in scandalous gossip and drama surrounding Meghan.
Barkowski further explained that attending red carpets and premieres exposes Meghan to individuals who might choose to exploit or use her.
This aligns with Meghan's ambition to be recognized and accepted by the entertainment industry.
However, the problem lies in the fact that the high-end projects associated with the values they aim to promote have not yielded the desired results.
As a result, they may need to generate income soon.
The future of Meghan Markle and Harry's lucrative $100 million deal with Netflix now hangs in the balance.
Recent reports suggest that their meeting with Netflix bosses at Beyonce's concert may have played a role in this uncertainty.
During the event, Meghan found herself in the same box as Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos and his wife Nicole, alongside other celebrities such as Kris Jenner, Jeff Bezos, Lauren Kim, Kim Kardashian, Kelly Rowland, Kerry Washington, and more.
According to scandalous media reports, Sarandos and his wife allegedly requested security to remove Meghan from their section, citing her uninvited presence.
This incident sheds light on Meghan's struggle to navigate social interactions, often appearing as a fangirl rather than a confident Hollywood figure.
In the cutthroat world of entertainment, one must fake it until they make it, and Meghan's desperation becomes palpable whenever she is photographed or interviewed.
The Sussexes' deal with Netflix is set to expire in 2025, but there have been warnings that it could be terminated earlier, especially following the conclusion of the popular series “The Crown.”
It is believed that Harry's portrayal in the final season, depicting him as a drug-abusing, unintelligent, and unkempt individual with a disheveled appearance, has not gone down well.
Meanwhile, his brother William is depicted as an astute international royal glamour expert.
Angela Levin, a royal commentator, predicts that Harry will be deeply affected by the scene in which King Charles informs his sons about their mother's tragic death in a car accident in Paris.
However, it is worth noting that Harry himself mentioned in his own book that his father did not embrace him when breaking the news.
The reality is that the creators of “The Crown” took artistic liberties and chose to portray a more compassionate version of events.
They disregarded Harry's actual words, demonstrating their lack of concern for accuracy.
In conclusion, the end of Netflix's partnership with the Sussexes marks a significant setback for Meghan and Harry's ambitions.
Their attempts to establish themselves in the entertainment industry have faced criticism and challenges along the way.
It remains to be seen how they will navigate these obstacles and whether they can find success in other avenues.
