Meghan Markle’s shine in Hollywood has worn off, and her influential friends can seemingly see through it and don’t want to associate with her. The second season of her lifestyle and cooking Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan,” premiered in August.
However, it appeared there was no star-studded showcase as viewers had hoped. Recently, a source claimed that all of Markle’s powerful A-list friends have been cutting her off and sidelining her amid the show’s release.
Meghan Markle’s A-list friends have left her side, says source
RadarOnline exclusively learned that Meghan Markle doesn’t have the support of her A-list friends, who have left her side, like she once did. This has even caused the Duchess of Sussex to worry that her upcoming Netflix projects might underperform without the much-needed star power, leaving her “devastated and embarrassed.” A source claimed that she hoped for a VIP-heavy display in her Netflix series, but has been “struggling to get anyone to say yes.”
For Markle, her influential friends turning their backs on her has been a hard reality check on where she fits in Hollywood now. Another insider alleged that she has been “working overtime” and “reaching out to everyone” to secure some backing. However, people have been “hesitant” because the duchess has neither “power” nor “momentum” in the industry, at least not anymore. Moreover, stars refuse to participate in projects that “might not land well.”
A publicist further compared Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s image when they were new in Tinseltown to where they stand now. They described them as the “hottest tickets in town” and as people that everybody “wanted to be seen with.” However, the source then highlighted the shift in the mood and how people grew “tired” of the never-ending drama, the interviews, and their rift with the royals. It reportedly felt “risky” and was “not good PR” to associate with them.
One insider claimed that Markle and her agency have been “trying every angle,” but luck hasn’t been on their side. People have been either refusing to collaborate with her or “just not replying,” and it has been nothing short of “humbling for her.” Another source believes that the real reason for this decline is just that her shine has “worn off” and nobody wants to be a part of her “dramas anymore.”
