Another week, another weekend full of royal media shenanigans. Andrew Morton is famous for his biographies of Princess Diana, and he was at one point one of Diana’s favorites in the media (she grew tired of him long before her death). Morton has turned his “royal insights” into their own little cottage industry, as his opinions and thoughts are often given added weight considering Diana really did speak to him often for a time. Anyway, Morton has some thoughts about how Meghan is entirely to blame for… allowing her friends to defend her, and for having a sh-tty toxic father. I’m not going to excerpt what Morton said, but if you really care, you can read that sh-t here.
Meanwhile, Meghan is facing a new bad news cycle from a place she probably wasn’t expecting. You see, as many struggling actors have done, Meghan took a role in a very low-budget movie years ago, in 2011, and the movie was so dumb and so bad that it was never even distributed. But now that the producers can say it’s a “Meghan Markle movie,” they finally found a distributer, all these years later. The film is called The Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down, and it was directed by Paul Sapiano. THR described it a “look at twenty-something singles clubbing and partying in Los Angeles.” So far, it’s only being distributed in North America. But of course the Daily Mail picked up on it, running the headline “Meghan Markle set to make her screen return as drug-snorting, boob-cupping party girl in racy TV movie… as the film is set to be distributed eight years after production.” So much rudeness in one headline.
It’s pretty much standard at this point that whenever an actress “makes it,” all of her old, sh-tty, just-did-it-for-a-paycheck movies and TV roles come back to haunt her. Old photos too – how many times have we seen that, when a J-Law or an Angelina Jolie peaks, suddenly all of those early low-budget films and cheesy photoshoots come back to life. If the worst thing that anyone can say about Meghan’s Hollywood career is that she cupped her boobs in a low-budget film, that’s pretty good.

I think the treatment Meghan is getting from the world at large is a perfect metaphor for the human condition at present.
It’s in the toilet. Every vile person out for what the can get.
On the plus side, though, maybe we can start obsessing about a different part of her life and leave the sh-tty family behind.
Won’t that be refreshing.
Everyone should remember that “C” is the average in any society. C-averages graduate from high school, college, medical school, law school all the time, and move on to be attorney’s, doctors, and President of the U.S. (although 45 is more of a D or F.) The chances that you’re interacting with a C-average at any given moment is true. C-average will always be the normal human condition. And C-averages are the one’s that buy this bullshit about Meghan not being worthy. (IMO the RF sucks and should be abolished. This is 2019 for gods sake, not 1619. What a heap of crap.)
@Fuefinawg While I agree that the Royal Family as an institution is pretty laughable (as if one birth canal were gilded as opposed to those of so-called ‘commoners’) to get rid of them at this point would be a constitutional nightmare. We have a government that cannot negotiate its quality our of a paper bag, an opposition led by a shambling narcissist whose idea of getting down in the 70s was to sit around in a donkey jacket and sing IRA ditties, and a number of his party resigned this very morning. Rewriting the law/statute books at this point is not even on the list of objectives (and the RF is far too popular among the Daily Heil/Express readers – you know, the ones towards the back end of the bell curve who make up so much of lower-middle England). So, for the present, we’re stuck with them. At least we now have a Duchess with a social conscience.
I actually saw this movie twice in college. I thought it was actually pretty good. It was a tongue-in-cheek look at the lives of privledge LA kids who party all the time. The tone of the movie was that these kids are so young and have so much promise but their lives are so empty and meaningless. I never thought it was a bad movie at all. Maybe it’s because I saw it when I was young but honestly it’s not that bad. It was different than the other teenage crap out there at the time.
Well I am not surprised.
Everyone is trying to make money off of Meghan.
Because playing a role in a movie is a total reflection of who she is in real life 🙄
This whole treatment of Meghan reminds me of how Obama was treated. It didn’t matter that he was highly educated intelligent, thoughtful person. People didn’t like the fact that he was in a position that a lot felt was only for white men.
The fact that a woman dares to stand up for herself against endless attacks instead of just sitting there and taking it is what is bothering them. Patriarchy teaches us that women are supposed to put up with toxic men, even if they are relatives.
Spot on with the comparison to how Obama was treated.
+ 1,000
The rabid, mouth-foaming, irrational hatred that only intensified, the more successful he became. The more I see of this, the clearer it is to me that it’s mainly a race thing. Even when “they” don’t realise it.
Also look at Alexander Ocasio Cortez….same thing….the only difference is that Obama and Meghan were/are not in a position to fight back. AOC can (thank Christ !!).
It’s left to those of us amongst the dirty unwashed, who feel compelled to, to push back/fight for her. Otherwise, the like of Piers Morgan continue to feel more and more emboldened to dish this sh-t out to us.
But how? How can we fight back and be effective? Their ugly is overwhelming. One rotted apple can spoil a barrel. One hateful person seems stronger than 100 thoughtful, intelligent and caring responses. I just don’t get why the hate is so strong (unless it’s against laws that protect the guilty, corporations that suck at society’s titty, then screws society, or any combo of the above). Why is their hate for good so much stronger than mine for their ugliness?). How, @bellaDuPont do we fight back? Sign me, “ready, willing and able. Just tell me how”
@ Garedasna
I come here specifically to get the Meghan News recaps without having to click on DM articles.
@ Liveplantscleanair:
Well, I wish I had all the answers. Sadly, I don’t. But here’s what I can say regardless:
1) I think there’s a very clear effort to destroy her reputation online, mainly through mistruths and outright lies. We have to try and push back against it with the truth. Where they twist timelines, correct them on it. Where they attribute blame she doesn’t deserve, point it out. I’ve found that her so called “treatment” of Thomas is one of their favorite ways of attacking her character…..the good thing though is that Thomas’ own words at one of his many interviews will usually be enough combat most lies.
2) One commenter made the brilliant suggestion of boycotting the advertisers of the worst of the media outlets. (I’m ashamed I can’t remember her name now).
Work is an absolute motherf-ker for me right now, otherwise I’ve been planning to put the list together and post it here. (Anyone Who has the time would be greatly appreciated!). Not everyone will feel compelled to participate and that’s ok. But at least for those of us who feel frustrated and helpless, it’s a great way to send a message that might actually have an impact.
3) Of course, not visiting those sites themselves – this feels like the least likely to succeed strategy though…….the temptation is far too great most of the time
@Liveplantcleanair Why the greater response to hate? Fight or flight. Gets the adrenal glands in a tizzy. We’re by and large cursed by evolutionary biology.
BlueSky, you just hit a bullseye. Thank you. Great comparison.
The treatment of this woman is vile.
It really is! I don’t get it, it’s just awful!
This is how the industry she was part of operates and it is not necessarily to hurt her. I am not saying it is right, I am saying she is not the only one who becomes famous and old movies/ work starts being distributed again.
The same thing happens when an artist dies. All the work is released again.
Right? I would think she would have looked back on all her work and expected this.
Oh yes, I am sure that she and the RF knew that all her old films and pictures would be brought to the surface. She worked for many years as a mode and an actress.
Goes to show that she had never really made it until she married Harry.
If you say so.
I agree, and I don’t think it’s a disparagement of her, only a small handful of aspiring stars truly “make it”.
Ridiculous statement. She certainly did make it. She worked hard to get to where she was in a pretty awful industry. Taking a role in a dumb movie is no different than me slinging beer in a bar and pumping gas to get myself through college. At the same time she was “not making it” on a hit TV show she was also doing a lot of international charity work and running a blog for and about exceptional women.
Honestly, the undeserved hate she gets from people boggles my mind.
Jaded,
I agree that a job is a job. There’s no shame in supporting yourself, and most of use would have had more fun starring in a bad movie than all the tables most of us have waited in our youth. But realistically, Megan reached the pinnacle of her acting career with Suits. Undoubtedly with her brains and ambition she would have had a successful second career in media/pr/international relations, but she was never going to be a household name. It’s not hating on her to say that.
Tell that to the U.N.
Jaded this film does not prove anything but her show was not Gamd if Thribes it something or her role that great. If making it is making steady money yes she made it but she was not some star and her future would have been very uncertain after that.
Exactly, it’s not vile, after all they did the movie to make money so it’s not anti-Meghan move.
It’s a good thing she was ACTING and not a reality series. So stupid. It’s not a p0rn. It’s a crappy movie.
Yup. As opposed to the orange cheetos monsters wife who’s modeling career was way more scandalous, but somehow that all quietly went away…
Models take nude pics. First lady of France was Carla Bruni, so what?
Meg made a stupid movie. So what? She and Harry can laugh about it. People are gonna make money. It is not a big deal at all. Nothing illegal or strange.
Milla:
I don’t think anyone judges Mrs. Orange for the nude pics. She used the talents she had to take care of her family. It’s more the maddening hypocrisy of the evangelical/family values crew that supports him no matter what, along with the fact that whatever sympathy some of us may have had for the missus at some point, it’s clear now she’s complicit and worthy of our scorn.
Boob cupping is the gateway for belly cupping.
Haha! 😂
I am sure Megs has discussed this movie with Harry and KP. I doubt she gives a crap about the movie being released.
Exactly! And who doesn’t love a good cup?
Never underestimate the cruelty of a patriarchal society.
My advice to the lonely and frustrated boys out there: find a hobby that doesn’t involve making yourself feel superior to exploited women.
I just cheered out loud at this and scared my cat!
It would’ve been a great suggestion in only women weren’t often the harshest and nastiest critics of each other.
Agreed, Rhys. Almost all of the truly hateful and nasty cruelty I have received has been from other women. I support and respect women in their life choices but I unfortunately have rarely been given the same in return. I am sure some blame patriarchy for women being so cruel to other women, but I don’t. It’s indicative of a crappy person, imo. And it needs to stop.
Florida:
You see media constantly pitting women against each other but don’t think systematic oppression is a factor in women treating each other badly?
No, Bettyrose. Women are adults and should know better than to be mean because the media “makes them”. I personally think women should refuse to do it. It’s the quickest way to enact real change. Nobody can stop the media from being nasty but women can certainly refuse to behave the same way in their personal lives. It’s very easy to blame oppression and discrimination in this way, it’s much harder to expect people to stop participating in a system that tears them down.
Eric,
That’s it. I am officially a huge fan of yours now.
Your comment just reminded me iof a story my friend sent to me last night which broke my heart (the tiny stump of it that’s left). An overweight lady posted a story on twitter about how she gathered up the courage to go on a date with what seemed like a nice guy – lots of deep and meaningful phone chats, they went on two lovely dates, after which she slept with him.
She never heard from him again.
A couple of weeks later, after she had accepted her fate, his friend emailed her, telling her the guy only dated her for a bet – he had to pull the most unattractive girl he could find and sleep with her.
He won the wager.
How terrible. That guy needs to get his ass beat in an alleyway by a band of pissed off women.
Happened to me at a club at my friend’s birthday party when I was in college. Guy asked me to dance, and I was surprised because he was really nice-looking, not at all the sort who would ask me to dance. On the dance floor, he high-fived one of his friends and said, “$10.” I asked what he meant, and he said they bet him $10 he wouldn’t dance with me. I walked off the floor. Later, I went over and asked whether he’d been paid and he said he hadn’t because I walked off the floor. I poured my beer over his head and said, “Now you’ve been paid.”
@Elizabeth Suzanne Philllips….if you actually did that …Well Done Girl!! 👏🏾
Wow, what phucking assholes.
@elizabeth. You go, girl. Hope it was a pitcher.
Oh, Eric, you just made my heart a little lighter. Thank you, Sir. Thank you x millions, and trillions of thank you’s. I hope with my whole heart you walk your talk.
Everyone needs to get in line behind me because I declared my love for Eric weeks ago based on his US political insights 😎
Will she at least get any money (royalties) from this disaster of a movie? I hope so.
Yeah! What Megan needs is more money! 👍
What Meghan needs is to have people like you get off her case and just let her do the good work she is enthusiastically pursuing.
I was thinking that she might get royalties, and then she can donate it to a charity.
Or she can just keep them, because she worked for it, and it is her money, and she doesn’t owe anyone a justification or a donation.
An actress worked for a living… and this is bad how? At least she worked. An independent woman sought to make a career and provide for herself no resting on mommy and daddy for her livelihood and she is vilified for this.
Also I don’t like the tone of this post because it suggests that there is something wrong with portraying a coke headed, breast upping party girl. The Duchess of Sussex was A. C. T. I. N. G.
No shame in taking a role like this. She is not playing herself, right.
Considering the real life antics of other royals include actual drug use and nudity captured by the media, a pretend role in a movie is absolutely nothing.
That’s what I was thinking too – plenty of royals have done worse in real life!
I hope she’s able to shrug it off and say it was just a job, she was just trying to support herself, and let it be at that.
Exactly.
Well we know Meghan used drugs publicly herself too, Nic. Remember those party bags of weed at her wedding? Meghan isn’t clean either.
“We” don’t know if Meghan used drugs publicly. “We” don’t know if she used drugs at all. The weed story came from Daddy Dearest and some compromised emails about preparations for the wedding.
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/meghan-markle-boasted-serving-marijuana-13784986
Agreed. I don’t get the outrage! It’s ridiculous.
I actually have seen that film a long time ago. My sister and I still talk about it. Lol this is bizarre. It wasn’t that bad. Not great but not horrible. Edit: apparently the one I watched was from 2006.
Exactly who is going to outraged about this movie? Doubt much of the public or her fans really care about a part Meghan had in a movie when she was doing her job as an actress
The royal family most likely knew about the movie when she and Harry first got serious( they would have done some digging into her past for sure) Besides, lets look at some other “scandals “ in the royal family
– Prince Andrew dating soft p0rn actress Koo Stark and his links with that shady Epstein character
– Prince Charles and the leaked phone calls where he wishes that he was a tampon being used by his now wife Camilla
– 3 out of the Queen’s four children are divorced. Two of the divorces were messy
The press is just throwing whatever so called “dirt” they can find on Meghan against a wall to see what sticks. The royal family has been through worse and must have anticipated what the press would try and do.
Let’s not forget Harry himself cupping something else in Vegas.
It’s almost as if she was an… ACTOR IN A MOVIE. It’s not reality TV, she was WORKING. Jesus H.
The thing for me is, we get to choose which projects we will accept. I sometimes get requests from clients that I consider to be bad for my portfolio or otherwise not representative of me, and I turn them down. I think this will look like she was willing to do anything for a buck and the criticizers will have a field day.
If you look through the filmographies of the majority of Hollywood stars, you will find at least one cringeworthy role that they had to take in order to pay rent or to eat or to get enough credits to join the union. The acting profession is just that competitive. If you’re struggling to make ends meet or get your foot in the door, you’re probably not going to turn down a role unless it is truly vile.
The press have already tried to have a field day with an old TV scene where she was faking a s*x act. It’s always a good thing when some aspiring actors can be more discriminating in their choice of roles, but I agree with @Sid. Hollywood is full of bad choices. However, boob cupping isn’t porn–it’s just acting–and others in the BRF have set worse examples. Bottom line: It doesn’t matter what she’s done or will do, the British press will try to turn it into her worse nightmare and disparage her character.
other princes in royal houses have married women who have had “a past”. Google them. Harry married a non virginal woman THE HORROR.
I don’t know, I remember the press trying to drag up all of her old sex scenes from Suits and it didn’t seem like those received a ton of attention-it seemed like most people understood she was an actress, playing a part, doing her job. Really nothing to see here.
I hope this will be the same case-I mean honestly, who cares? Did Thomas Markle miss his weekly phone conference with the DM or something?
@ Lilla
Actors often don’t have that luxury of choice, especially in the period of their career before they break out. For someone like Meghan, especially pre-Suits (which at least would have afforded the financial stability to be more picky), she was probably going on dozens of auditions a week. Does she get every job and get to choose the one that best reflects her? Of course not. If she got even *one* job, she was amazingly lucky. If that job turned out to be low brow and maybe a little embarrassing, oh well, she has rent and bills to pay. Of all SAG-AFTRA membership, it’s something like 5% making a living as an actor. And of that five percent, it’s *maybe* 1% that are name celebrities. Meghan made it into the 5% but not the 1%. That means she for sure has some paycheck jobs on her resume, but that is nothing to be ashamed of. She made a career out of acting, something few people do. She should be proud of what she accomplished.
Princess Michael’s son married an actress who has done nude scenes.
I don’t know what industry you work in Lilla but it certainly isn’t acting.
Any actor who was that choosy about roles simply would not progress, and would be ditched by their agent very quickly. I had an agent dump me once just because I wanted to do a play here in London because it meant I wouldn’t be available to audition for US roles for a few months.
There are a milllion actors out there; every agent goes into work on Monday to mailbags full of CVs and headshots. No agent is going to rep someone who’s choosy unless they’re successful enough to be choosy. it’s one thing turning down a role involving nudity, gore, or advertising a product you don’t agree with. But landing a starring role in a feature film is a BIG DEAL for an aspiring actor. Who cares that the plot is about relationships and has a scene showing drug use? I bet anything Meghan and her team were over the moon that she landed that role.
Most self-employed people generate their own work, but nearly all acting work goes through CDs and agents, they are the gatekeepers. It’s not comparable to being a self-employed graphic designer or accountant.
I’m increasingly thinking Meghan and Harry need to leave the Royal Family and Britain. Live private lives in Canada or the US.
The British press is despicable. They’ve aided and abetted an attempted character assassination. Disgusting.
As much as I’d love them to do that for the sake of their own sanity, I’ll bet princes Charles and William would never allow it. The optics of that would be so bad for the RF and more importantly for the commonwealth. But even if they left the royal family they wouldn’t be left alone. They would be celebrities targeted as relentlessly as Diana was and tragically like her, without royal protection.
Seriously though, as long as they are being treated well within the family, the rest is just noise. Onward to Windsor they go!
Im curious as to why you think the CW would care one way or the other about what the royals do. Meghan is American afterall and doesn’t represent the CW diaspora.
In general, we are not all that attached to the royals as their impact on our lives is negligible, kind of like the CW itself, but getting out is more fuss than it’s worth.
As to the subject at hand, prepare yourselves for countless photos of any possible racy scenes splayed all over the daily mail in the coming days. Meghan should laugh it off and donate the royalties to her favorite charity.
I’m sorry, allow it? They have the literal right to decide where Harry will live? And what happens if Harry says sod it and moves anyway?
I could be wrong, but I thought the Royals were of German descent.
I said allow it because I think it would be a PR disaster for the Royal family: Duke and Duchess of Sussex chased out of the royal family because of racism. That would be the story all over the world. With the the future of the RF already uncertain after the queens death, I don’t think they can afford those headlines. I think that Charles and William would do everything they could to convince them to stay in the fold. Allow was the wrong word to use—apologies.
All good, Lanne:) Thanks for the explanation. I thought there was some arcane law that said the ruler gets to decide where the family line lives, similar to having a list of specific names to chose from when naming their offspring.
Erm. No! The Black Princess will not be run out of town. This is what the racist press would like. She is here to stay and to deliver some black genes to a desperately weak gene pool. She is here to work, serve the public, deliver genius and well-thought out initiatives, love the white Prince, wear expensive frocks, and drive the buck teeth bald Prince, his lazy wife, and Piers Morgan and the Royal Reporters out of their minds. And I am here to stan for all of it. 👏👏👏
All I’m hoping for is a healthy polo baby, with freckles some tight curls (red or black)
They leave the hospital by a back door and post the baby picture on Twitter and leak a different one to the US press.
Holding off realizing the name for a few weeks.
HEar, hear, Fredsmother!
Hear, hear, Peg!
😄😄💃🏽💃🏽
Frankly, one of these day one of them (anyone in the BRF) just needs to come out and confront the press head on. For too long they put their head in the sand and have allowed these types of headlines. They might be a royal family but they are human beings at the end of the day and NO ONE should be treated this way. Just because it has always been done a certain way doesn’t mean it still works and should continue.
The whole world is watching and if anything really bad happens to the Sussexes or they are forced to leave the UK, it will be very bad fir the monarchy. There was an article in an East African newspaper complaining about the way the Sussexes are being treated, so the Commonwealth IS interested.
The world needs to know that the right wing media are orchestrating the anti Meghan campaign to satisfy their Brexit supporters who are afraid of diversity and progressive change.
Oh, please, Meghan doesn’t care about this! She’s married to a prince and lives in a palace. The reporters will continue to dig in her garbage in the hopes of selling papers. She is laughing all the way to one of her walk-in closets.
If anything happens to her baby from all the extremes bullying i swear
Big deal! an actress acted in a crappy movie.
If it makes a thousand bucks, they’ll be lucky, it will cost them more to lease the cinemas.
And? Harry cupped his crown jewels in real life in Vegas. Thank you, next.
Ha! Great minds, etc., etc. I just made that comment above.
Right?! Meghan was in a cheesy movie once, who the f*ck cares?
We all already saw what happened to Prince Charles and Diana because a man married a too young inexperienced girl because he had to marry a “pristine, tidy” woman. In the end it was a disaster for both sides.
None of her sons wanted to repeat that, William went the loooong route to decide and finally settle down, and Harry at 30 something well lived years old, obviously knows what he wants. So the world is gong to clutch their pearls? As aquarius64 said, he already did grab his, in front of everyone and he overcame that.
I think both brothers picked their wives well for what they wanted/needed.
each on their own way, suiting their own personalities.
David Starkey, Art Historian had a few words to say about Meghan, “she is exotic and strange, Harry’s other girlfriends were Euro-trash.” (Ouch) Meghan is confident, elegant, poise and smart.
In the past neither Catherine or Meghan would’ve been allowed to marry into the Royal family.
He was unveiling a 16th century portrait of Mary Queen of Scots.
I don’t think it’s necessary to be nasty towards his previous girlfriends to make Meghan look better. I am so sick of women having to be put down to raise other women up, like ALL of those women can’t be respected and appreciated? Why is it necessary for that vile man to call perfectly lovely seeming women “Eurotrash”? It’s as disgusting and unacceptable as saying Meghan is “straight from Compton” and all of the racial nastiness and inferiority that implies. Not that people from Compton are inferior, obviously they aren’t. But the media is insinuating that they are.
I’m sure David Starkey is not a woman.
David Starkey is awful. He is just trying to redeem himself by appearing to support Meghan.
“Exotic” and “strange”? Ugh…
The movie has 6,6 out of 10 on IMDb so I might see it. 🙂
Are you sure it’s not the distributor of the film voting to give it a 6.6 out 10? 😳
The Daily Mail, like AMI, is a cuthroat business. It seems significant that stories trashing Meghan not only sell papers, but also sanction and encourage the isolationist racism that supported Brexit.
Princess Sofia of Sweden was a glamour model and reality show contestant. I doubt she gets torn apart in the Swedish press the way Meghan does in the British press. Maybe she was at first, I have no idea. But she seems to be accepted nowadays and commended for the work that she does.
Yawn. Every actor has a movie they are embarrassed about but it’s not like this is going to ruin her marriage or life. I highly doubt she’s haunted.
It was 8 years ago. They should just leave it.
I love how they say “Meghan makes return to the screen after blah blah blah” when it is NOT that. She is not making a return of it was made nearly a decade ago. These people are just vile. And obvious.
It was a legal job. Even A list stars have movies they would prefer to forget about. Can she live?
I am beyond disgusted with every single racist media outlet that drags this lovely young woman through the mud on an hourly basis. I know she chose to be with a royal – and that is a job, an obligation, that opens you up to international scrutiny. But this is just toxic vitriol that does nothing but spread viciousness and fear. I am frightened about what will be said about their beautiful, innocent baby and what he or she will be forced to deal with. I’m sure Harry and Meghan are worried too. They should be able to enjoy this time instead of having to rise above such constant torment. And do NOT get me started on that pathetic excuse of a father of hers that keeps coming back like a malignant tumor.
It all makes me so sad and angry.
Is that all they could come up with. I’m sure they’ve been digging for dirt and that’s all they could find. Cupping your breast is what most young girls do in a party and shake their booties. They should come to my office Christmas party … The young girls go wild. Besides she was doing a job. Every actor has done a movie they regretted. Didn’t Kate go topless in France and PH stark naked in Vegas. . A lot of them in the RF are not perfect and have one or two embarrassing secrets themselves.
Meghan has nothing to be embarrassed about. Most people by now know the British press have agenda and are biased towards Meghan. They are racists and it is obvious.
It’s amusing to me how people suddenly forget how ACTING works when it comes to Meghan. Also amusing is how some people can manage to be both quite snobbish when it comes to her career (“She’s a Z-lister no one’s heard of!”) and pearl-clutching over the roles she’s taken (“How trashy, she did drugs and sex scenes!”). Imagine if she’d been an A-lister instead. You’d be hard-pressed to find one who hasn’t done EXPLICIT sex scenes, full nudity, or controversial/gritty roles. You’d think all these sudden Puritans would be grateful she did these campy and relatively tame shows/movies.
But who are we kidding? We know that this is a fake controversy, and those people will continue to CHOOSE to be scandalized about this while polishing off their 50 Shades of Grey and Magic Mike dvd collection.
In the lightning speed world of social media, we forget about the long game, which is what I guess the RF are playing here. I think it was the right move to push back against the noise with her friends as a self defense tactic before the baby’s born. The release of the letter showed the world how toxic dad is, and only the worst of the media will be crowing for her to let dad into the kids life. As for the bad film, it’s no worse than Harry’s hijinks in Vegas. I think it will blow over just like the 90210 sex scene did. When I think about it, all the mud they throw at her, none of it has really stuck except the dad stuff, and to a degree he’s been neutralized. It can even be said now that letting dad into her life would be a security risk for the baby. And there are some great think pieces coming out condemning the media’s behavior. I want a major media outlet to do an expose of the markles and all their toxicity. Get input from psychologists. Discuss all the estrangement from other grandkids and each other.
Yeah, after the years-long smear campaign that’s really escalated the past few months, this movie news is just yawn-worthy (remember when the Sun insinuated that Meghan was a porn star?) I doubt many care now but no one will even remember in a few years. And she was just doing a JOB. Will, Kate, Harry have actual pictures of “trashy” behavior like being publicly drunk, sloppy, groping women (by both brothers).
I think the People magazine move is looking more and more correct as time goes by. That plus George Clooney, op-eds by the Washington Post and Guardian…this has all been viewed by millions of people. Her family issues were probably the worst attack against her and probably made her look back in the eyes of people who don’t pay close attention to this stuff, but his release of the letter was really indefensible. I saw some tinhatters even concede that he’s a terrible narcissist (before blaming her for also being one) of course.
Has Narcissist in Chief Piers Morgan ‘had his say’ re this latest “shocking” revelation yet? Funny how no-one seems to have publicly linked her ghosting of him with his role in the Millie Dowler tragedy. Had I been in her position, and discovered such evil behaviour, I too would have dumped him like toxic waste.
OMG, I watched that dumpster fire when it was streaming on Netflix years ago. Pretty sure I was too hungover to get up and change it to something else hahaha. I wish I could remember who she was in it. It was just complete trash, but a paycheck is a paycheck when you’re starting out.
I don’t think it’s vile move on the producers part. Like.. they made a movie, it didn’t sell and it does now.. It wasn’t an anti-Meghan move. Are they after money? Yeah, but first they did it for the “right” reason like every filmmaker and now they can get something out of it. If back in the day Meghan thought the movie is so horrid and tacky she wouldn’t take a part of it. It won’t hurt her and it’s not a low blow. So.. no big deal.
I guess you all missed the opening credits of the 90210 reboot where Megan’s character is giving a guy a bj in his car on the first day of school? Huh…no one? Lol! Not a shining moment for her. Needless to say, I almost passed out when I saw it was her. But hey, she didn’t know she was going to be a duchess some day!
