Meghan Markle’s Hollywood Relaunch Faces Setback Amid Royal Race Riles
Meghan Markle's attempt to reestablish her career in Hollywood may have hit a roadblock as the controversy surrounding the Royal Race Riles intensifies.
The recent release of Omid Scobie's book has raised concerns that Meghan's association with the allegations could harm her reputation and potentially damage her agency, William Morris Endeavour (WME).
Industry experts, including branding culture expert Nick Ede, believe that Meghan's silence on the matter only adds to the perception of guilt by association.
Ede warns that Scobie's book, which implicates two members of Prince Harry's family in the race row, could be a career incendiary device for Meghan, similar to the impact of Harry's memoir.
The ongoing controversy fueled by the book has made it difficult for a major Hollywood agency like WME to navigate Meghan's career, fearing that more damaging information could emerge over time.
With potential court cases looming from her sister and father, Meghan's reputation is at stake, along with the reputation of her agency.
Despite being a global icon and a potential money-making powerhouse, Meghan is proving to be “too hot to handle” for the industry.
Even though she has not made any public statements about the book, her association with the scandal is damaging not only for her but also for those associated with her.
Journalist Angela Levin predicts that Meghan may face a significant setback in her career, suggesting that her new representatives may drop her in light of the latest scandal.
According to a source at WME, the agency is reportedly horrified by the ongoing conflict between Meghan and the royal family.
This reaction indicates that their concern lies with Meghan's conduct rather than the alleged bigotry demonstrated by her in-laws.
Levin suggests that WME will carefully consider their next steps, as they have never been so clear about their feelings regarding a high-profile client.
It appears that many people have already distanced themselves from Meghan, with the agency advising her to stop complaining as it is becoming tiresome for others.
PR guru Mark Bukowski also notes that Meghan's post-royal relaunch is not going according to plan.
WME is said to be exasperated by the never-ending scandals surrounding the Sussexes.
The agency now faces an even more challenging task in making Meghan famous and achieving the level of glamour she desires.
As Meghan plots her next career move, the question remains whether she can overcome the current obstacles and regain her status as a Hollywood superpower.
The Royal Race Riles controversy has undoubtedly cast a shadow over her comeback, leaving industry insiders and fans alike wondering how she will navigate these turbulent waters.
