Lucky’s Diner: Heated Argument Between Meghan Markle and WME Representative
In a surprising turn of events, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, was spotted having a heated argument with a representative from WME (William Morris Endeavor) during a lunch meeting at Lucky's Diner in Santa Barbara.
The incident occurred while Prince Harry was away on a work trip in Asia, according to reports.
The Duchess, 42, was photographed on Thursday taking a makeup-free stroll in Montecito, California.
However, it seems that she couldn't escape the prying eyes of paparazzi, as someone managed to capture an incredibly close picture of her at Lucky's Diner without anyone noticing.
This photo has caused quite a stir among fans and the media.
Lucky's Diner is known for its glamorous atmosphere, adorned with photos of iconic figures such as Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and Frank Sinatra.
It has attracted esteemed guests like Oprah Winfrey and Katy Perry, making it a popular spot in Montecito.
It's no wonder Meghan Markle chose this location for her meeting.
The person seen sitting with the Duchess at the diner was Jewel Smaller, a super-agent with nearly three decades of experience.
Smaller has represented notable clients such as Florence Griffith Joyner, Kevin Garnett, and Serena Williams.
According to a source, this meeting was business-related, and initially, the conversation between Meghan and Smaller seemed peaceful.
However, things took a turn when they began discussing contract issues and Meghan Markle's future schedule.
The voices of both parties grew louder, attracting the attention of diners nearby.
Words like “terms,” “time,” “termination,” “waiting,” and “negotiation” were overheard by people in the restaurant.
Sensing the attention, Meghan eventually stopped talking and spent the rest of the meeting on the phone.
After approximately 20 minutes, both Meghan and Jewel Smaller left the restaurant.
Some customers speculated that a third person was supposed to join the meeting, but after waiting for nearly half an hour, it became apparent that they wouldn't be showing up.
This could explain Meghan's angry expression in the photo, contrasting with her sad and tired appearance in the picture taken on Thursday when she was wearing her coat.
Following the incident, residents of Montecito shared their opinions on the paparazzi photo.
Some criticized Meghan, claiming she has a reputation for being difficult and nasty to restaurant staff.
There were even stories of her mistreating waitstaff before she married into the royal family.
Others speculated on the nature of the meeting, wondering if it involved a potential contract with WME.
Speculations ranged from becoming the new face of Walmart or Colgate to securing a character actor role as the mother of a young star like China Anne McClain or Amanda Lestemberg.
This incident comes at a time when rumors of marital issues between Meghan and Harry have been circulating.
Additionally, the couple faced challenges with their business ventures, including their split from Spotify in June.
The streaming giant terminated their $29 million deal, citing a lack of content production.
However, Meghan, Harry, and Spotify released a joint statement claiming that the decision was mutually agreed upon.
As the details of this argument continue to unfold, it remains to be seen how it will impact Meghan Markle's future endeavors and her relationship with WME.
The incident has certainly added fuel to the ongoing speculation surrounding the Sussexes' personal and professional lives.
