New Hollywood celebs cold-shouldering ‘desperate’ Meghan Markle
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is reportedly facing challenges in securing guests for her upcoming podcast. Despite signing a promising deal earlier this year to launch a “dynamic” new series, sources reveal that the Hollywood elite, including some of her former Suits co-stars, are less than eager to help. This comes as a blow to Meghan, who is said to be relying heavily on her past connections to bring her new project to life.
Relying on Old Friends
Rumors are swirling that Meghan Markle is attempting to reconnect with her former Suits castmates to feature them on her podcast. However, insiders suggest that many of them are reluctant to participate, feeling that Meghan has distanced herself from her roots since marrying Prince Harry.
“It’s all very well for Meghan to expect support when she needs it, and obviously, she’s desperate for this podcast to be a success,” a source tells Heat. “But a lot of people think she’s got real cheek to be asking for any sort of help from her old co-stars. After all, she refused to take part in their recent reunion and has shown no interest in staying in touch with the majority of them. She wouldn’t even join their WhatsApp group.”
Past Allegiances and Present Tensions
Meghan starred in the first seven seasons of Suits until 2017, a role that arguably catapulted her into the global spotlight. However, since her departure from the show, it seems she has distanced herself from her castmates and the series. This has led to feelings of resentment among her former colleagues, who feel overlooked by Meghan.
“Meghan doesn’t ever put Suits down, but she’s certainly distanced herself from most of the cast and from the show,” the insider continued. “It’s pretty insulting, and the feeling is that she ought to be a lot more loyal to her roots. The show is what made her famous, and it’s safe to say she’d never have met Harry without the success she had from Suits. So it just strikes a lot of people as a bit ungrateful that she seemed to want to get as far away from it as possible the moment she married him.”
A Need for Damage Control
For Meghan to successfully launch her new podcast, it appears she will need to do some serious damage control. As she reaches out to her former colleagues for support, the Duchess faces the task of repairing relationships and addressing the hurt feelings among those who once worked alongside her.
“So, for her to now come with cap in hand, asking for them to appear on her podcast and help promote her products is pretty tone-deaf, to say the least,” the source added. “She’s going to need to explain herself and do some serious damage control if she’s going to have any chance of wooing them back to her side because there are a lot of hurt feelings.”
Rebuilding Networks
Despite the initial reluctance from some of her former Suits colleagues, Meghan is believed to be working hard to curate an impressive lineup of guests for her new podcast. Celebrity PR specialist Kayley Cornelius explained that Meghan might reach out to other close friends and their networks to secure guest appearances.
“Initially, we might expect her to call in favors from her remaining friends and work through their networks,” Cornelius stated. “For instance, long-term friend Priyanka Chopra, who did not feature on Archetypes, could be among the first names Meghan considers. Other potential guests could include friends from her Suits days, such as Abigail Spencer and Wendell Pierce, who likely remain accessible points of contact for Meghan.”
The Stakes of Meghan’s New Venture
This new podcast endeavor comes after Meghan’s previous series, Archetypes, ended abruptly when the $20 million Spotify deal with her husband, Prince Harry, fell through last year. Determined to bounce back, Meghan has teamed up with Lemonada Media, a female-founded American network company, to make her return to podcasting a success.
While the road ahead may be challenging, the Duchess of Sussex seems determined to navigate these hurdles and bring her new podcast to fruition. Whether she will succeed in winning over her old friends and collaborators remains to be seen, but Meghan’s ambition and determination are certainly driving her forward as she ventures back into the world of media.
